Marriott - Nashua

... all the attendant cords, chargers and transformers as well as a US cell phone and a NZ cell phone. Our electronic paraphernalia takes up most of one carry on bag! I have a few more things to "pick up" before we leave. We are almost ready. Keep your eye on this blog for weekly updates on our travels.

For those of you who were not there, here's a recap of the weekend...

Wednesday - arrived and ate well! :)

Thursday - Happy Turkey Day! Schaller side came over and we all ate together - good food! We also played a lot. Ugly Doll game - fantastic. 'UGLY UGLY UGLY" Aw, Aunt Rae, we love you. And Matthew schooled us all in Wits and Wagers. I missed my parents and brother a lot ...

... had a great Birthday dinner. We followed up by going to Hayward's Ice Cream stand to get "kiddy cups" (these are only 2 gigantic scoops) -- Jenny got moose tracks with peanut butter cups on top (this was the closest she got to a moose in New Hampshire).

We came back to Paul's parent's house and watched the OSU v. Arizona football game on TV. Both the Beavers and the Red Sox lost today, so that was a bummer. Other than that, it was an outstanding day.

... grunting), and this time the man didn't ask but instead grabbed the bag from me and placed it on the cart. I noticed this man was pushing the luggage of one elderly American man in a wheelchair. I followed them. Thank goodness for that, too, because there was another unusual looking checkpoint exiting the airport that caused a massive traffic jam of people and their luggage. With the handicapped man, we by-passed all of that and I was shocked and surprised that by this incredible ...

... My mind has too much going on in it! It rained all night and is still raining. We did the breakfast things and then I got on computer- We did a bit on the genealogy stuff and then out in the rain for a few chores and to see the town. A neat old town with a lot of history (Amherst NH), back home in the rain, talked and did more genealogy, had a family dinner and just a comfortable family night. And it is still raining. I called Wayne and Ro and will see them when I leave here.

OK, we've booked our flights and ordered our visas, so the kids and I are definately going to India! We're all a bit excited and a bit nervous. The kids will miss lots of school, but we think it will be an experience of a life-time!

I'm hoping to document all our adventures on this blog, so check in often and wish us safe travels!!!!

... to my guest list. I hope you will enjoy getting news of my trip. I am learning about posting entries and photos and hopefully master the technology of both travel pod and my new laptop. I will leave Nashua on 8 July flying to Dulles where I will meet up with a few of the others in my group and then we will embark on a 14 hour flight to Seoul, South Korea.
You can keep in touch with my by replying to the guest book on the website or just sending me regular ...

Finally heading to Spain to start my month long trip! This will be an interesting trip as I don't know Spanish and I hear that english is not generally spoken. Let the Adventure begin!



The flight over from Boston went well other than a little hold up with the computers. This caused me to miss my connecting ...

Well it has been a very long weekend, a very long wait. Rory left Saturday, and after he called from Auckland it really hit home that this is actually happening. It's almost my turn... almost. 24 hours from now I'll be impatiently waiting in Manchester Airport, ready to GO! Well, I've been ready to go for quite a while now, but I packed this weekend, a few days too early; I had nothing to do. So everytime I ...

... your endurance. I picked up 'Fea' (pronounced faya)(Pic of Fea) my Jeep at Rent-A-Jeep. If you say you were referred by erikgruetzmacher.com you will be given a 5% discount on an already inexpensive rental (Rent-A-Jeep Card). When deciding on a rental keep in mind that most of the rental companies will void your ...
