Holiday Inn Hotel And Suites Ann Arbor

Well, it never seems like too much luggage, or maybe it does. But after you have all the stuff packed; small bag, big bag, laptop bag, carryon bag, food bag, two big coats, an extra, extra big coat for a friend from Syria, then, THEN it seems like WAY too mucch luggage. Oy! We could travel with smaller bags, but that would mean we would bring fewer gifts, and have less ...

... pytti pannam (onion, potoato, beef hash), plus steamed kale and wonderful Swedish-style beans, with honey and vinaeger. DeLISH! The small restuarant/tavern is filled with Sousaphones, Euphoniums, and of course, bigass TUBAs. Lots and lots of tubas! We were seated in one of the booths, with a world map next to us on the wall. I told our cute waitress that I was headed to Ghana, and she exclaimed, "My sister JUST got back from ...

Phew... Going through US Customs was a bit trying... No searching but a lot of questions meant - I supposed - to catch us with something bad... Who knows. We did not loose any meal. We're in the middle of a fairground, with a weak WiFi but OK. The only analog TV channels are from Detroit but the Detroit area offers 22 digital channels, many <br><br>Longer day than expected but we grinded the flying condo to a halt. No problem other than a sticking lock on the propane door.

Mrs. Here....<br><br>Mr. and I are heading South this Sunday in our 5th wheel. First Stop is Taylorsville Lake State Park in Kentucky.<br><br>We plan on taking 5 weeks and end up in Texas for 6 months.<br><br>We are first timers in a 5th wheel and are hoping we will still be speaking ...

... would ever come to be realized.  Between incessant court-dates, elusive probation officers, and my own hemorrhaging of funds from traffic tickets and ubiquitous overdraft fees, my final days in the US felt like a hobble rather than a sprint to the finish.  Intermittently, I felt moments of disdain for the place I was raised.  A string of memorable weekend getaways with accompaniment from Daniel Pachota (born in South Dakota) amounted in my final days of summer, indicative of my longing to ...

MIddleville, Michigan<br>Friday, June 26th<br><br>First, a few forgotten comments from Nebraska on east:<br><br>How do you know you are in a small town? Guy in pickup truck stops his truck in the dead center of the street to go into the post office (Paradise, NE)<br><br>How do you know you are in the mid-west? They mow and bale the hay in the middle strip of the highway.<br><br>We also saw big fields of mowed hay being baled by fleets of white pickup ...

... questions, but until she sets foot on Brazilian soil, sees the cities and beaches, meets the people, eats the food, etc... she won´t be satisfied. She is nervous about being the giant white girl and not being able to understand or communicate. Luckily, she´ll be travelling with her own private native tour guide. I am thrilled to go to Brazil to see my family, to go to ...

... pal Mort Maizlish matriculated at the University of Michigan and lived in a grungy basement pad next door, and I rarely miss a chance to return. Then we shoot downtown to meet my old partner Peter Andrews at a sidewalk café to talk about his hopes and plans to revive the Ann Arbor Blues &amp; Jazz Festival in the fall. It turns out that this will not happen in 2007, but Peter has a strong basis laid for rebuilding the event next year and we have a lot of ...

... if I was planning to be in the area so I could make an appearance. I probably said all this before, but the short of it is that I was able to change my ticket, fly into Detroit, make the screening and then drive with my daughter and little B to the East Coast to meet Dorothy and go visit my sister Kathy in New Haven. But my Wednesday in Ann Arbor was even more fulfilling than simply returning to the scene of the crime to see the movie of the events that resulted ...
