Homewood Suites Birmingham Troy Mi

I am officially on my way to New York City (currently over Michigan!) and the trip is going well so far. The seat next to me on the plane is open, which always a bonus, AND our travel agent gave me a little upgrade which never hurts J

I am going to try to keep this blog as updated as possible… I hope you enjoy it!

Love,

On to Kalamazoo... which if nothing else provides much joy in saying its name :)

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.

At another place, again, full of promise I was given the usual lengthy booze brief. One German sounding brew caught my ear. Upon asking for more information, I was told it was a very strong beer from ...
