Best Western Milwaukee Airport Hotel & Conference Center

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>

... 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 ...

It was a blessing that Joe and I were awoken at 6:00AM on Sunday morning from jet lag. We decided to slip out and take a walk on the bike path. The sun was just starting to take its place in the sky, a perfect setting to reflect on our trip and to exchange some fun Wisconsin memories.<br><br>We can't believe the trip is over! This has been Joe's work since the day he graduated from Columbia and today we head back to the chaos, friends ...

Thanks to Rob for allowing me to stay in his baller ass apartment situated directly on top of a bar, I got to experience the greatness that is Milwaukee (when the weather is nice). I got to hit up a few brewery tours, some sweet bars (spy bar!), cheap beer wasn't hard to find, finally tried out P90X (ouch) and I even experienced the Blink182 ...

We were lucky to Have Suzie's Aunt LouAnn dump us off at the Amtrak station at the Milwaukee Airport. Even luckier for us was for LouAnn and Uncle Mike to let us dump our car at their house! We boarded our train on schedule and our big huge circle of a trip had begun!

... the same thing, "there would be a computer ready for me whenever I could pick one up." So much for that. After a whole bunch of complaining on my part and some negotiating on Dad's part we ended up with a gift card for a restaurant visit, an extra battery for my old computer, and a reimbursement for our hotel visit. Picking up my computer was the main reason that we had to have an eloquently planned departure including a whole day spent in ...

... I hit my mark! We were late getting in and there were no rental cars available when we arrived. We stood in a hot garage waiting for someone to return a car so we could get to the hotel. Oh my, I was steaming, both physically and emotionally. We ended up getting to the room at 2:30 a.m. Las Vegas time. We were supposed to be in our room and vacationing at 6:00 p.m.! The best laid plans....

Hello again. We are stopped for the night just outside Milwaukee, in a motel, story on that later. After our last entry we continued on and camped outside of Erie, PA. From there we continued on to Cleveland and ....DA Na Na NaNANA (in an electic guitar voice, please).....the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It was very cool, too bad we were dragging two kids along with us, we would have spent a lot ...

... relief when we touched down. But of course it was midnight and we were in New Mexico, where none of us expected to be, and we had no plane to get to Milwaukee. A plane came from Phoenix in only two hours. The problem was that we had not been able to pick up any dinner in Phoenix because our time on the ground was so short, and because of the turbulence they had never gotten to the food service on the plane yet. At the time we landed in ...
