... no idea it actually was vodka. I thought it was some kind of fruit mix drink thing. It was going to be $30, but I talked him out of it by batting my eyes and smiling sweetly. OK, so that's a lie, but whatever, he was just nice and I learned not to try and buy too much vodka at the duty free. And now, I am warning you dear readers.

Yes, buy things at the duty free, because that stuff will save you from being accidentally sent to Newark. But for god's sake do NOT buy two of them.

... One interesting thing that I ate on the plane was a bowl of instant ramen noodles. Never seen this before. I guess they do this for all flights into Asia. One other interesting thing I noticed as I looked out the window was that it was daylight the whole flight. Well that certainly won't help with my inability to sleep on planes.

... luggage strap and attempted to secure it to my bag. Uh, it didn’t fit; wasn’t long enough to go all the way around. There’s $9.00 wasted. Second thing to note here – I removed the packaging from the digital kitchen timer and threw it into my backpack with the intention of setting the clock later when I had a moment to sit down and take a look at it. The problem was that I discovered later I had left the instruction sheet that came with it in the van. You know ...

... will attempt.  When we tried to find our gate (B38), we looked between gates B37 and B39, to no avail.  They hid it further down the hall, encouraging us to get a little more exercise.  Apparently the people going to gates 37 and 39 are already fit.  It looks like there are a lot of students on the flight.  For now we are just waiting and I am listening to Eldest on my iPod. (add-on) We have made it to Dublin and the hotel but are napping.  Will report later

... my life who personifies the tranqulity in being I search for now, and though she is rife with her own problems and insecurities, I find a sense of home in her presence that comforts me endlessly. I think that is what love is in its purest form. A sense of home and belonging shared by two people that creates a bond impenetrable by the elements of our otherwise lonely daily existance. I have also redirected my career path and ...

"One of Leonardo's earliest attempts to tackle the problem of flight seems almost laughable by today's standards, but it is nothing less than remarkable that Leonardo was even able to conceive of his now famous flying machine when the invention is put into historical context. It must be considered that the flying machine was not only an impressive feat in terms of design and conception, but also a display of intellectual ...

... kicked up a hell of a fuss! Can't wait to have rest hour off from duty and the evening off, even though by half 9 when evening duty starts I'll probably be ready to go to bed! Was a bit teary this morning because someone, I'm guessing it was Charity, told Marcy, one of the directors, I've been feeling up and down. She came and had a chat to me about it after I finished help coach basketball this morning and was really nice, she told me she'd make sure ...

It goes without saying that I like to travel - i.e, I have a travelogue. Seeing new places, experiencing other cultures, and challenging myself to see more than whats in the tourbooks are just a few of the rewards travel brings. I know that travelogues are typically about a trip, but half the fun of any trip is the planning process. And thats how I like to start my travelogues. Once I've decided when I ...

... than the yucky boyfriend. On the day she wanted to come over, though, Brette was out of town shooting a film in Buffalo (which gives rise to its own stories, and I'll tell those later - but just as a teaser, they involve Jesse Martin, who is one of the lead actors on Law & Order). So I met Karen at Starbuck's just to give her our extra set of keys. In a manner that is characteristic of New Yorkers, she was kind of like, "okay, so what are you doing here?" I described my ...

... H for heck that's a lot of wind and rain. But soon enough, not some 13 hours from when we departed we all experienced the lady Tiff's new castle for the first time, including herself. After the whirlwind tour of the mansion that was to be our new home for the next few days we quickly found our beds and fell unconscious for the next 5 or 6 hours. After that, and with the great of idea of still exploring the mighty Atlantan City that day we sat on our behinds for another 4 hours. It ...
