Bored sitting here waiting for my flight to Seoul (scheduled to leave @ 0050 hrs.). Catching up on some emails & research in the meantime.

Happy holiday, everyone! Sent from my BlackBerry Tour

Let the Adventure begin!<br><br><br><br>The flight over from Boston went well other than a little hold up with the computers. This caused me to miss my connecting ...

Did the hop on/hop off tour bus today of Boston. Very good and gave us a good insight into the history of Boston. On our way to the trolley bus stop, we passed the Massachusetts State House and walked through Boston Common. It looks nice in the snow (once I find somewhere that allows us to upload our photos, you'll be able to see too!) We got off the trolley bus and did the State House Museum (was free with our bus ticket). It explained the American Revolution ...

We arrived in Hartford and after watching luggage go by on the baggage claim for quite some time, we finally saw ours. We took a bus to the place where we picked up our rented vehicle, which is a black Expedition. It is very nice...leather seats and a DVD player! We had Jenny's "Friends" DVD in by the time we left the parking lot. We drove through Taco Bell twice (the first time Mrs ...
