Embassy Suites Hotel Austin-Arboretum

Five weeks, 8 major cities, four continents, 4 radio stations, 8 food markets, 6 tribal or fishing villlages, WMDB actually walked past 19 bookstores in A-dam, 20+ musuems, pickled herring sandwiches, chocolate waffles, pancakes to DIE for, trams, Red Light District, the lights and sights and fashionable footwear of Paris, swarms of hunger immigrants selling everything from super-glue to TP on the streets, cattle stampedes, and the second worst roads I have ever encountered.

... thing to see it coming, to have had a major hand in the choice. Why do it? I don't know. I couldn't answer that before and I know I can't answer it now.

I want to wish everyone a happy thanksgiving.
I had a great thanksgiving week. I want to thank some of you who have already donated. Thank You.

... If you haven't played it before all i can say is it gets messy! We played 2 or 3 other games which I can't be bothered explaining and there was one game that was to go on all the way through the night!

... wondering what I would get to see and what I would miss. It was the first
time that I was so vividly reminded of the price of living abroad. I miss
my parents and family and friends, but in the course of a few months or a

... most people he once knew in Austin, and although there were a couple of options, it might be better to avoid them altogether.  Discouraged, I began to thank him and give up on the idea of us traveling to our most loathed state, but he wasn't letting up that easy. He proposed that he put us up in a hotel for a couple of nights in Austin to shower (as he is aware of how infrequently that happens on this trip or in general) and get some food at his favorite tex-mex ...

We didn't really think anything of it until I opened up the computer before we took off on the plane for the flight to Charlotte South Carolina. DAMAGE!!

... need to go west to Arizona before there would be much improvement and that is about 500 miles, 600 to the good weather. Since we need to be in Houston early in Feb to meet our old friends Anita & Malcolm, it would mean another 600 miles back, and then on to Houston. So we decided to sit it out; in fact, mad as it may seem, we plan to go a little way north to visit Fort Worth ...
