... all the attendant cords, chargers and transformers as well as a US cell phone and a NZ cell phone. Our electronic paraphernalia takes up most of one carry on bag! I have a few more things to "pick up" before we leave. We are almost ready. Keep your eye on this blog for weekly updates on our travels.

Hello,

I have an assignment for a tourism class and I have been asked to survey people who live on the island of Aruba. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

1) Number of years you’ve been on the island of Aruba
2) Are you working or retired?
3) Have you ever been involved in tourism related activities?(If so a brief explanation on your involvement).
4) What is your ...

... early on. But between making gravy and well liked jello salad, I started feeling at home. :)

Friday - Movie with Matthew! Blind Side - if you haven't seen it, you should. Then the Domeny side came over for the second thanksgiving! More good food.
Then, I had a delightful suprise. There was a birthday party planned, VERY unexpected. It was so nice. We had a ice cream ...

... in Newfields NH. Ten years have elapsed since George’s last visit and while he thought it would be easy enough to find their home not much looked familiar as we drove through the nearby towns but we did eventually find it with a little help and spent a wonderful evening with Peg, George catching up on the last ten years and Nancy getting acquainted.

... time). On Saturdays, they show free classics, and on Sundays, they show free silent films with a live pianist. We saw the 1939 Classic Ninotchka, starring Greta Garbo and Melvin Douglas. It was outstanding. Paul won a free ticket to a contemporary film (they tend to show art-house-type movies) for knowing what Peter Seller's last movie was (The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu in 1980).

We then went across the street to the Melting Pot restaurant ...

August 28th Friday- Up fairly early- I am still not getting the sleep I need. We talked and reminisced about the time I have spent here at Beckys and then I was packed up and off. I took stuff out and closed the door, Becky opened it to check something and Boston streaked by her and out the door so we had to do a cat rescue before I left. First stop was to get a tired aired up-It was looking squishy and is now better. Nuvi said I would be there by 6:30, but with one nap stop ...

... de las islitas que había dentro del lago y un sol que ya empezaba a bajar entre las nubes que teníamos de telón. Cuando estamos volviendo, nos alegramos de la decisión porque al fondo se ve que vienen unas nubes negras que pueden tener lluvia... y mientras miramos a la lejanía.... empieza a llover... ¡¡mecagüenlaleche!!.... y nos empieza a entrar la risa floja porque el muelle al que tenemos que volver está bastante lejos, media hora más o menos... gotas, gotas y más ...

... that I had planned for us. What had I done? Fifty days of driving and camping across the US. But as nervous as I was, I was also excited about the adventures that Russell and I would get ourselves into....so, one last look back and Niagara Falls, Ontario, here we come!

It was a long day traveling thru New Hampshire with it's motto of "Live free or die" Jack drove about 8 hrs before we arrived at our final destination in Maine. We drove thru the capital of Vermount, spent the night at Portsmouth New Hampshire and arrived at Maine around 5 pm e.t.. A very long day.

... travel throughout the UK, and I made a couple of ventures to mainland Europe: Paris and Norway. Most importantly though, I got to know Edinburgh and I made some wonderful friends there (cheers, guys). It was an unforgettable few months, and I wouldn't change a thing about it... except maybe having a little more time there. However, going to New Zealand might be even more of an adventure than going to Scotland because I have no idea what to expect. I'd been to the UK a few ...
