Candlewood Suites Detroit-Troy

We will post trip information here as soon as it starts. For 2010, we will continue planning the project and look for Sponsors that are willing to invest and support the Project. All indications in that regard is ...

I am officially on my way to New York City (currently over Michigan!) and the trip is going well so far. The seat next to me on the plane is open, which always a bonus, AND our travel agent gave me a little upgrade which never hurts J

I am going to try to keep this blog as updated as possible… I hope you enjoy it!

Love,

On to Kalamazoo... which if nothing else provides much joy in saying its name :)

Phew... Going through US Customs was a bit trying... No searching but a lot of questions meant - I supposed - to catch us with something bad... Who knows. We did not loose any meal.

"how did you get here from vegas?"
"what were you doing in vegas?"
"why are you here?"
"michael caine was alright in batman, don't you think?"

... store, huge lines at the post office, competitions on the radio to win breast augmentation, the lack of efficient and cheap public transportation in the metro Detroit area, and bumper stickers on huge SUVs that say "Viva Bush." One of the ways that I was best able to reassess the states right now is by television. I put myself through a rigorous program of studying and examining everything that is on. I have to confess that I spent more time than I would like to admit by ...
