Four Points by Sheraton Manchester

... time). On Saturdays, they show free classics, and on Sundays, they show free silent films with a live pianist. We saw the 1939 Classic Ninotchka, starring Greta Garbo and Melvin Douglas. It was outstanding. Paul won a free ticket to a contemporary film (they tend to show art-house-type movies) for knowing what Peter Seller's last movie was (The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Manchu in 1980).

We then went across the street to the Melting Pot restaurant ...

then it was back to The Surrender. the rest of the trip was calm swell, light winds, and warmer weather. a totally different trip really. 2 foot swell, 8 knot winds, and 75 degree weather is my kind of sailing. who cares if it takes longer to get to your destination? it's supposed to be about the journey anyway.

... My mind has too much going on in it! It rained all night and is still raining. We did the breakfast things and then I got on computer- We did a bit on the genealogy stuff and then out in the rain for a few chores and to see the town. A neat old town with a lot of history (Amherst NH), back home in the rain, talked and did more genealogy, had a family dinner and just a comfortable family night. And it is still raining. I called Wayne and Ro and will see them when I leave here.

So we managed to find our way home after an incredible summer. In just over 5 weeks we were in 29 States, drove 12,700 miles, visited 5 World Heritage Sites, many wonderful state and national parks, saw great cities, awesome beaches and fantastic friends and family. This was a time I will cherish forever.

Thanks to all who have followed my blog and taken this journey with us.

Well this is the first of many blog entries to come. This one is only a test, but if I must write something for the first test, I suppose I should be writing whats going on. We are watching Knocked Up for the upteenth time, ate Papa Ginos (yum), and I got some packing started and after I finish this I am going to do a little more packing with the boxes I took from Market Basket. I am starting to get excited since I only have 2 weeks left of work. I cant believe this is ...

... although 85 miles was too short! The climbing went well and compared to the beginning of the trip it was quite satisfying to be able to conquer all the hills without coming close to having to walk. Tonight will be the last dinner with all of us together, and a good time to reflect on what this was all about. I started this as a gesture relating to the untimely death of my brother, but it has been made clear to me that I was angry that ...

....And that step was to my car at four o'clock in the morning on July 6th, 2009. The car was packed and Russell was waiting in the passenger seat ready and raring to go. I was the one that needed a few moments to take it all in. I was a little nervous about this grand ...

... about Korean history, economics and culture. We will also have the opportunity to meet students and teachers at Goyang Foreign Language High School, where we will learn about the Korean educational system. In addition to our time in Seoul, we will also travel to Gyeongju, the historical capital of Korea, where we will learn more about Korean history and culture. Upon our return, participants are required to submit an impact report detailing how we used this ...

First off, this is a good venue to come through. We went through Philly yesterday and everything was sub-par about the building. Makes for a long, though day. Today was bright and cheery - kind of place you'd like to work - and other than the BO Mgr being too shy to even make eye contact with me, it was all just right. I want to go back to my recent posting where I was down. First off, thank you for the warm ...

... close. It was raining most of the time though. I think a tornado even touched down. Lastly, we drove to the mountains to a town called Franconia Notch. We actually drove right by where the old man of the mountain used to be. It was so peaceful there and we even saw two bears!
