Manchester East Hotel Milwaukee

I'm working on a grant for the National Institutes of Health that is due early next week. Once that's done, it's full-on preparation for our month-long Journey to India. Daisy is doing her Santa impression (making her list, checking it thrice) and we received 4 new pieces of luggage the other day. <br><br>The airline tickets are booked and now we just have to finalize some domestic trips while on the sub-continent.<br>

Exciting times! One more day before the big trip and we are doing out last minute preparations before we go. There are things to be packed though and that will get done tonight and then a little bit more tomorrow. We have an evening flight so we should be pretty well rested and ready to scout about Copenhagen as soon as we get checked into the hotel.<br><br>Stay tuned for more!<br>

Well, everything has been going more than perfect since I wrote the tentative schedule. I was able to break my lease, then before I even asked anyone if they knew of a place I could stay, the Thelen's offered a room at their house. God has worked out everything better than I ever could. Well, I knew it was all going too perfect, I knew Satan was going to try something. He did. The family I am supposed to stay with has not yet got back to ...

Well Hello,<br><br>Time is definitely speeding up these days. I have less than a month before I leave for Ukraine. I am filled with many emotions, but excited for all that I am going to be doing in the next two years!<br><br>Today I'm resting, shopped a decent part of the weekend trying to get ready. Went to REI and bought several ...

Thanks to Rob for allowing me to stay in his baller ass apartment situated directly on top of a bar, I got to experience the greatness that is Milwaukee (when the weather is nice). I got to hit up a few brewery tours, some sweet bars (spy bar!), cheap beer wasn't hard to find, finally tried out P90X (ouch) and I even experienced the Blink182 ...

... run, apart from some extremely bad highways with shocking corrugations in the road top, nope it wasn't gravel, it was concrete, but you would swear we were on an endless sheet of corrugated iron. Never mind we survived, with teeth still in place! Just! We programmed Mandy to take us to an RV park, we are still unsure as to what Mandy was considering, we travelled into what could be described as a VERY interesting section of town, we did not see more than maybe 4 or 5 non ...

... high humidity I left in Sydney yesterday, oh that's right it was today - I crossed the international date line and turned back time! It was the longest day of my life, but I made it home safely and am now counting the days until my next adventure - the Carribean in March during my week of Spring Break on another ship :) This is crew member "T" signing off. Thanks for reading this travelogue. I hope you enjoyed my posts! -T

... After a great lunch at the museum café overlooking the lake we took a short drive north along the lake. [[glass of wine at the hotel/dinner at the Riverwalk Bistro]] After dinner we took a walk by the river (which was right next to the restaurant if you couldn't tell by the name) and enjoyed the fall evening. We explored the Third Ward a little bit and ended up in the Jackalope Lounj since it was located in the oldest ...

... on Saturday, we all knew that we were taking a big risk. But what the heck--what are friends for, right? This being the group that it is, however, we couldn't let the weekend pass without visiting a book store, and so we all trooped into Borders after breakfast. My friend Michael had recommended the book, Lamb to me and, because I always do what Michael tells me to, I had bought the book, but I hadn't read ...
