... way out!<br><br> Halloween night itself is so festive with all the neighbors (American spelling for effect) are out and about and all the neighborhood kidds meet as a house and go around trick or treating together...again, going all out with outfits they look great!<br><br>We had such a wonderful week of quality time with the fan-dam but all too soon 1 November rolled around and our amazing trip was over! We sadly made the trip back to the airport for the real final trip home...<br>

... who had already "boarded" wasn't even on the plane. They were all in a line in the jetway. Nobody had even boarded the plane yet. I was annoyed. I believe my exact phrase was "My happy ass could be sitting in a chair right now instead of standing in line." Twenty minutes into standing (maybe it was less, but it seemed like it) Conrad opted to sit down and have another snack. Less than 5 minutes later, the line started moving. Maybe he should ...

... bed (at least I hope)!<br> So we headed to my parents' house to say goodbye. There we got to meet George, the CUTEST little chihauha (is that spelled right)? He is SO CUTE!! I want to take him home with us when we get back. Mom &amp; Dad are just fostering him, but I told her that I want him when we get home ...

... me of when I flew with United Airlines to Las Vegas last March and I watched not one, not two but three flight attendants cautiously step over the same foot-long piece of toilet paper in clear efforts to avoid stepping on it and having it stick to their shoe. That would mean they&#8217;d have to bend down and pick it up. This of course happened shortly after my friend, who may have been plummeting into a battle with hypothermia because the air ...

When Lisa and I were asked if we could help with this project, it took no time at all to decide we would. During our travels over the last year and a half we have seen many examples of people in need. Hungry children were the hardest to see as you could imagine. Here was our chance to help and I am looking to friends, family, and fellow travelers to help if you can! What ...

... and I do mean occasional) kind FLA driver that lets us in, or we surely would still be driving around the outskirts of Miami (and for those of you that watch "The First 48" or "Cops" you know that's not the safest place to be). Well we finally got out of there, but much later than we'd liked. We managed to make it past Naples before we set up "camp" at a rest stop for the night. (Many rest stops have night security here, which is comforting when you need to stop in the ...

Goodbye! Thank you all for your good wishes! For those who were able to attend the get-together at Old Chicago Pizza last Sunday night, it was such fun. It was so nice to spend time with everyone and get some last good-byes in. Of course now Ryan Fandetti and Noah Torres will always be able to remind us that we put pictures of them on the Internet while playing pool in a bar! :-) Thanks for the great send off everyone.. We will miss you all!

... I convinced her that it was probably a good one for a first timer - no upside-down twists, and wood coasters tend to be a little slower than steel ones. Since it was a Thursday in October, there were no lines, so we were on the ride within a few minutes. The coaster was fun, with lots of big drops and that wood coaster shakiness.

... and Sign cards in hand. We were then instructed to wait in the boarding area in a large room with at least 1000 other guests. The room was kept cool and there were plenty of drinks and snacks available if you wanted them. We kept ourselves amused and in no time our group number was called to board the ship.<br> <br>When we made it on board, the first thing I wanted to do was see my ...
