We like it so much here that Pat is thinking about buying some beach front property. Yesterday we went snorkeling at Rum Point -- a big inlet with water so crystal clear and calm you would think it was man-made. But there were some huge stingrays swimming ... Read more >

10 more days!

Thu, 17 May 2007 | By cp | Views [402]

We are rapidly approaching the amazing day and time when we leave for London!  As usual there are the typical trip fears and nuisances, mostly relating to not enough money and what will become of my dogs and houseplants.  Somehow it always works out! The ... Read more >

Happiness

Thu, 17 May 2007 | By packlightwalkslow | Views [949]

Some people say true happiness only exists in a state of ignorance.  I don't believe that. I am quite happy these days, and earlier this spring, the happiness did catch me off guard - I hadn't realized how un-happy I was this winter and the new feeling ... Read more >

Chicago

We arrived in Chicago once again without incident (this is starting to become a habit) and after finding our smelly/decrepid room set off to meet Unity and Alan for dinner.  We arranged to meet at their hotel and instantly became jealous as we viewed ... Read more >

It's the day before I leave Paris and I can't describe what has happened to me here--because I don't even think I understand the depth and profoundness of it and probably won't until months after I get home. But, I do know this: I am not coming home ... Read more >

OK, so while making our way across the States the people we meet always ask, "So what do you think of America?" I am always stumped by this question and have been trying to think of a real good response (instead of just replying with..."... Read more >

I'm Ready

Wed, 16 May 2007 | By incessantly_insatiable | Views [687]

I'm sitting in Horley (a little town outside of London) in a hotel that hotels.com ranked "4 stars". I'd give it a .75, but who's counting? It's a total dump and something weird inside me likes it. I'm having dinner in their little hotel ... Read more >

Yesterday I was pleasantly surprised to get to have dinner with my parents! My sister picked me up from the airport, and we drove north to meet my parents. Each vehicle drove about 3.5 hours each way - but it was worth it. Good food and definitely ... Read more >
