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 ...

<br>I'm frantically trying to work through my 3 page list of things to do before I go. Setting up a travel blog was one of the things on my list. Hopefully this will work as a great way to share stories and photos will all our friends and family back home. This seems pretty easy so far. My next task is a little more complicated...buying another swim suit. Why did I wait until 48 hours before departure to tackle this monumental task?<br><br>Off to MOA!<br><br>Mary

Here are links to over 800 photos I took on the trip.

Leaving on my trip to Las Vegas tomorrow. I found some cheap motels through this website, extended stay motels that were very affordable. I didn't read the reviews though, so I hope they are not too sleazy. But ...

... I would absolutely hate waiting for a flight during the day. That must really roast. <br>Well as we were waiting at the airport, we realized we forgot out package that would not survive the day in the car at the bell desk. Thankfully, the staff was nice enough to box it up and send it my direction. I just fell silly stupid for having all that time to sit around and then go and forget the items left at the ...

I leave for a mysterious journey into the upper reaches of South America - starting in the tropical Bogotá. I almost was able to get a free travel voucher because the flight was oversold. Unfortunately some guy missed his connection and I was forced to boardthe plane. I still would've made the international flight regardless. On the plane it was just alright. The tv sets were messed up and choppy, but at least the music was alright. And the food was nominal. It was pretty much ...

... at a bar in PL called the Basement (even though I spent most of the night with my eyes glued to the TV watching the Olympics or outside in deep conversation). Then a great afternoon with more friends and family. Tomorrow is my interview with the Korean Cousulate in Chicago via webcam. Hopefully they will process my visa ASAP so I don't miss ...

... Vikings walking around in a purple suit and looking like he had consumed one to many glasses of wine. Funny thing is, I later found out when I got back to the States, that Carl Eller had got stopped by the police on the way back from the inauguration party and was taken downtown. Noone still knows why he was there in the first place. LOL!!!

... pressure to impress is absent. Living in England I have noticed that this aspect of familiar life is often underrated, a fact that it's easily noticeable from the average home layout for instance. In the UK - and I am sure this could be said of the US too - kitchens are small spaces that you only use to cook, while guests are entertained in the sitting room and supper is served in the dining room. The kitchen feels like a no-go zone, a sort of backstage that ...
