<br>I'm frantically trying to work through my 3 page list of things to do before I go. Setting up a travel blog was one of the things on my list. Hopefully this will work as a great way to share stories and photos will all our friends and family back home. This seems pretty easy so far. My next task is a little more complicated...buying another swim suit. Why did I wait until 48 hours before departure to tackle this monumental task?<br><br>Off to MOA!<br><br>Mary

Leaving on my trip to Las Vegas tomorrow. I found some cheap motels through this website, extended stay motels that were very affordable. I didn't read the reviews though, so I hope they are not too sleazy. But ...

... The second flight on a NWA 757-300 was better but not perfect. I was able to sleep but I think that may have been a product of just simply being tired. At least they were cloth seats and a slightly higher seat back for some neck support.<br>I am now very exhausted and get to go to work tomorrow. Not looking forward to waking up on purpose and having to start moving. <br><br>How long til my next vacation???<br>

... there is something very special about the tango in Buenos Aires. The milongueros (definition below) are incredibly passionate as they dance. Dancing tango feels like nothing else. When I dance I don't have a care or worry--only passion and peace. It has changed my life forever!<br><br>Below are some pictures from my friends in the tango community in the Minneapolis area.<br><br ...

... parking. We back alongside another RV and headed towards this mall, we passed a security guy on a bike booking (or in American lingo "tagging" ) a car for parking in the Large vehicle car park. We stopped and had a chat with him and found he had visited our country a few times, obviously aboard a US navy ship, but he had good memories, and was happy to chat for a few minutes, assuring us we were safely parked at no cost. Into the Mall and ask a few ...

... Vikings walking around in a purple suit and looking like he had consumed one to many glasses of wine. Funny thing is, I later found out when I got back to the States, that Carl Eller had got stopped by the police on the way back from the inauguration party and was taken downtown. Noone still knows why he was there in the first place. LOL!!!

... and I hope the pictures I took will give you an idea of its scale. On its five floors, it houses hundreds of stores, endless restaurants, it has two huge parking lots and an amusement park. Indoor. If it wasn't for Stephanie I would have easily gotten lost. Anthropological speaking, I was mesmerised. But the truly interesting part of my day, the one that gave me the inspiration to write what I'm writing, was the drive from ...

Wow, what a day! Saturday, no work to be done at the magazine - and above all no power in the building because of a monster thunderstorm that hit Minneapolis last night; hundreds of households are today facing shortages to their electrical supply. I take the day off from Internet and the daily updates of my various blogs, travel journals and all, and spend the whole afternoon riding my bike around town, I see some lakes, I have a swim, I watch an incredible ...
