Marriott Bloomington

We will post trip information here as soon as it starts. For 2010, we will continue planning the project and look for Sponsors that are willing to invest and support the Project. All indications in that regard is ...

<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

... It is Las Vegas after all. Going to be staying for 7 nights and I am bringing a good friend of mine. We hope to gamble the nights away and take in some of those girly shows. Sounds like fun! Wish me luck<br>

... I would absolutely hate waiting for a flight during the day. That must really roast. <br>Well as we were waiting at the airport, we realized we forgot out package that would not survive the day in the car at the bell desk. Thankfully, the staff was nice enough to box it up and send it my direction. I just fell silly stupid for having all that time to sit around and then go and forget the items left at the ...

... Plaza shopping district with not a lot of people visible and the shops appear to be closed, until we observed some people in the shops. We walked into an open courtyard type shop, and found this was a city shopping type mall, it appears the shopping centres and business district in the city centre are all linked with over head walkways. We guess it is for when the snow is around, it is possible to still complete any business and shop without venturing ...

... 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!!!

... people are too big. "Everything, from construction materials to fabric for kids' clothing, is strictly uniform and regulated, so that people can feel safe and at home wherever they are. "These microcosms are created so that they can understand what's going on without losing their mind in the wider picture." That reminded me of something I had read earlier on Minneapolis City Pages while having breakfast. It was an article on ...

... jump on my bike and I'm off. First destination, Lake Calhoun, close to uptown Minneapolis. This morning was very windy, probably still settling from last night, but just after noon the weather turned to hot and sunny, spot on for my biking excursion. I took the bike path around the lake, dodging pedestrian and incoming fellow bikers who would look at me with some mild antipathy as I was cycling in the wrong direction. Not that I wasn't aware of this, but ...
