Courtyard by Marriott Boston Billerica

... how it went (Your thinking did she beat him???) but it was fun before leaving. They also moved the Rocky statue to the location recently so we grabbed a few pics of that one too. The temp at this location was 28 Degrees........roughly -2 Celcius.

Andy and Krista then dropped us both off at the Bus stop and we said our goodbyes. It was great to spend a few days with these guys. As Linda said "It was like home away from home", except for the temperature, the snow and a 3 storey ...

Our last days in New York were spent manically trying to squeeze in everything that we had missed during the week. We caught the Staten Island Ferry and got some good shots of the Statue of Liberty, went walking down Fifth Avenue to see if we could find the things we needed in the shops and we took a stroll through beautiful Central Park. We went out local on Friday then out to the city on Saturday, both were highly enjoyable in different ways, but hung out with ...

We leave for New Zealand a week from today. Everything Buzz needs is neatly packed in a rolling duffel bag. Every summer garment I own is piled on the bed in the guest room as I try to decide what to take and what to leave! I need outfits, he just needs clothes! We have our camera, ipod, computer, gps ...

loved the flight, and the hospitality of the BA business class experience. I even had a facial as I though it would be done by a dolly. Then some big gay guy came out to 'facial' me. I was petrified. I have to say that he did a really good job though!!

I REALLY made the most of the free champagne and wine on the flight too. Legs were a bit wobbly on my return to the good old US and A!

... the birthplace of John Adams (1735-1826), signer of the Declaration of Independence, diplomat, the first Vice President and Second President of the United States, the birthplace of his son John Quincy Adams (1767-1848), a diplomat, U.S. Congressman, Secretary of State, and sixth President of the United States and Peacefield, home to John and Abigail Adams as well as four generations of Adams from 1788 until 1927.

The modest homes where John and his son, John ...

I need to remember to bring beef jerky with me to Kenya! I also need to get some host gifts and candy for kids (shouldnt bring chocolate cause im guessing it'll melt -maybe some lifesavers?)i also want to get a few little obama souvenirs; i have a feeling that people will appreciate them over there less than 2 weeks before I leave - and the thing I keep wondering is, am I crazy for doing this?

... we go and i cycle and then cycle and cycle and then hit the ****ing freeway, oh yes thats right! So i cyc;e up and down and up and down and up and down the hills of cape cod... i mean just make the ****ing road flat. It starts to get dark and i find the road i'm meant to turn onto... i'm releieved to say the least and my **** (which by the way is now in agony) is also pleased. However, this is THE LONGEST ROAD in the world! I finally get to the hostel, not a shop ...

... up visit from the manager. They were well worth the wait, though, as the flavor was superb, and they were still very tender when I was finally able to start on them. After this great dinner (which was accompanied by a great bottle of merlot - I was still savoring my champagne, too, having enjoyed it before dinner, and planning to sip on it after dinner, too!), our server told me to be sure to order a dessert on the house, as an apology ...

... is.

Anyway, we weren't able to go to Robben Island, where Nelson
Mandela was imprisoned because it was Public Holiday Week, or a
variation, which involved everything being closed for 3 of the 6 days
we were here, not including a Sunday. We were able to go to the
Natioanl Jewish Museum, which was so crazy and facinating because I had
no idea how many Jews were in South Africa! The first Jews came in the
1600s, but it wasn't until 1840s that a huge influx ...

... s first witchcraft outbreak. You know what they say, "Once you find one witch you can bet there's a whole town full nearby". It's actually surprising that our genius President hasn't used that excuse yet to invade a country. Here's what he would sound like... "Heh, heh.... Ahem... heh, see... your country is full of witches see, heh... I'm W. You got till Noon to hand over all your witches or else we're comin' in... heh. Don't mess with ...
