Amerisuites Milwaukee West

I'm working on a grant for the National Institutes of Health that is due early next week. Once that's done, it's full-on preparation for our month-long Journey to India. Daisy is doing her Santa impression (making her list, checking it thrice) and we received 4 new pieces of luggage the other day. <br><br>The airline tickets are booked and now we just have to finalize some domestic trips while on the sub-continent.<br>

Exciting times! One more day before the big trip and we are doing out last minute preparations before we go. There are things to be packed though and that will get done tonight and then a little bit more tomorrow. We have an evening flight so we should be pretty well rested and ready to scout about Copenhagen as soon as we get checked into the hotel.<br><br>Stay tuned for more!<br>

... I know it is still early, but it gave me a peace thinking I had a place for sure. I know God will provide, whether through this family or another. There is some other things too, but not as important as a place to stay. <br><br>Prayer: Housing situation in Mexico <br><br>GOD ANSWERS PRAYER:<br><br>I officially have a place to stay. The family got back to us yesterday (the day after I wrote this,) and confirmed. =) PRAISE THE LORD!!!

... items from Peace Corps Volunteers (PCV). I bought yak traks, which I will be wearing in winter because I hear that Ukrainians do not put salt or sand on the roads so it is difficult to keep footing. <br><br>I'm also working on getting an address book together so I can keep track of people hopefully. It is much tougher than I ...

... from Lucy, our dog<br><br>- A "Special Daughter" pen. (Past themed-pen presents have included Frosty the Snowman and a Peep rabbit)<br><br>- Chicken Soup for the Pet Lovers Soul...<br><br>-Three monkey-themed presents (a plate, a key chain, a dish towel!!)<br><br>By the way, it is absolutely guaranteed that I will receive essentially each of these items for every birthday, Christmas, as well as some other holidays. You can only ...

... tour! Too bad I didn't bring my camera to that, because now all I have is a dozen **** camera phone pictures of Travis Barker's fly-over-the-crowd drum solo! Amazing. Anyway thanks to the hospitality of Rob and his friends (well most of them j/k lol rofl), although short-lived, I had a great time in Milwaukee and certainly hope to visit again.

... s cold. Ridiculously cold. The weather forecast said it was -2 degrees Fahrenheit, and with the windchill factor it was about -20. I thought "**** thats cold!", but I didn't realise how cold until I converted it to Celsius and discovered -2 was -19!! MINUS 19 DEGREES CELSIUS! I've never felt anything like this. I've been through the Andes, Alps and Pyrenees and ...

At last, an Internet connection! I am writing this in Kanab, Utah on June 10, because this is the first time I've been able to access the Internet. Our flight out of GR was delayed by hours because of the huge storms moving through the area all week. We ran into retired DB Captain Dan K and his family at the airport. They were flying the same flights to Las Vegas. Dan walked me through the ...

... Australia and New Zealand. I will miss my family and friends this Christmas, but can't hardly pass up such an amazing experience as this for sure. I welcome you to join me as I travel and feel free to leave your feedback on my travels so we can stay in touch. Blessings, -T

I had read the same page three times and I still didn't know what I had read, but I was trying to be nonchalant. I was trying to ignore the pitching and tossing of the airplane as it lurched through the turbulence. I was trying not to think about the look on the flight attendants' faces when they rushed the beverage cart back to the gally and strapped themselves into their seats. I was trying not to think about all the airplane tragedy movies I've ...
