Holiday Inn Baltimore West

So I mostly wrote for the benefit of Aunt Laurie, and Aunt Bev and Great-Grammie. Below are pictures of what I bought with your gift money - so you can see the birthday presents you got me :) I really wanted a new pair of jeans. I also found the jean jacket, t-shirt and dressy black shirt. I had a lot of fun shopping and thanks to sales, I still have some money left over. :) Thank you all so much!!!

... exit, it was very windy and we rolled a lot, but it wasn’t as bad as predicted. About 2am we changed course and the wind dropped. We are all looking forward to Jacksonville now and a long sojourn alongside. I am looking at lots of shopping and pampering, lots of meals out and hopefully, a football game! I am also hoping that our friends who are in Florida can come down for a few days to see us. Maybe Tony will get a game of golf!

... It will be my first time cooking since leaving St. Louis. It will be good to get back into the kitchen (for a short time).

Let's not forget the two "Flat Stanleys" that made it into my suitcase from my niece & nephew. Mind you that I never agreed to bring them, nor to take pictures at a Baltimore landmark. But i pick my battles, and right ...

... spoke no English and I speak no Chinese. We did a lot of smiling (the international language) and the flight was smooth. About 12 hours later, we arrived early at Chicago only to find that our gate was occupied. What's another 20 minutes on the runway.

The flight to BWI changed gates 3 times before we finally departed. It was a very uneventful 90 minutes and I was really happy to see Bob and Linda drive up for me.

... We were a rowdy bunch. On landing,one person yelled were gong down and the girl next to me freaked and and was like "Oh NO!!!". She actually thought we were crashing.
At what must have been midnight we landed in LAX. I do not like LAX, too busy. Our Qantas flight to Australia was right on time and we boarded our long awaiting flight where nice seats and leg room was awaiting us.

... trip about this war so we were appreciative of the education. The kids were able to laugh and play freely with their cousins Charis and Kailey without the confinement of a museum but an open fort to run and explore. Kailey even attempted to sing the national anthem (with a little help from her mom)!

... Perez Zeledon for a weekend, a little investigation trip for my big trip *planned* for July. Then comes Travis and we go to Monteverde to zip through the cloudforest and hike to some waterfalls. After that is the zone visit, and then my month will be up. Just like that. I said it's a long list... we shall see! So the bottom line - I just needed to test out this travel journal thing and make sure it works! *K*

... by heading across the very familiar 66 (not the famed one of course) and made a final swing by our favorite Capitol before the end of the Odyssey...and what a trip it was! We can't quite believe we are back home and how nothing much changed since we left 21 days ago...except us. Now Abby is soundly asleep in her own little crib and her mom and dad need some sleep so we will promise one final blog entry tomorrow to try to sum it all up.

... milk. As she was talking to him, he wasn't able to divert his eyes. He had just given her two silver ear-rings, which she immediately put on her ears, just after she had put her hair up ever so elegantly. Pointing downward, the earings seemed to draw two lines, defining a border for his gaze. With melancholy he checked the clock and knew the moment wouldn't last much longer. As his mind tried to recap the conversation, it was as if he already ...

... of one-of-a-kind, only-one-in-existence Fiji mermaids. And every museum needed to have its own mummy, be it real or fabricated out of "wads of excelsior, shredded wood, linen, glue, and wire" as was the American Dime Museum's Amazonian giantess mummy, supplied to a museum some time ago by the Nelson Supply House of Boston, which specialized in, among other things, mail-order mummies for educational purposes. Other sideshow staples -- such as the two-headed calf, various ...
