... be leaving "the boys". We've had tons of fun. Unfortunatly it took us three damn months to teach them to play Euchre, but we've made up for lost time in the last week but playing every night and allowing it to get extremely heated. Although, with Rob playing any game.. things usually get out of hand. <br><br>The next few weeks should be fun though.. finally a ...

... need to reserve ahead of time directly with the winery. Allow at least 1 1/2 hours for your wine education, tour and tasting. Have a small bite to eat before you show up or the consequences of the barrel tasting will be magnified. The tasting is of red wine only so don&#8217;t go if you only drink white!<br>The wine tour will lead you through the types of barrels used, whether it be ...

... over to NZ right? The evening ended with various members of the party trying to persuade me to join them in the hot tub. My moon-shot through the window pretty much told them that I was not going to play.<br><br>What I saw: A foggy vista the stretched all the way from the south bay area right through to the north end of wine country. Well worth the slog up the hill and if you don&#8217;t believe me see the pics at FB.<br><br>What I listened to. The Mac! I should ...

... Doug the Cav in my life. Then try to find a job for the next month wiling to pay me cash since I'm screwed in paying my bills. If job doesn't pan out.. head to Oregon to visit Benja my 2nd favorite person ever. (No offense) and chill out on tha stoop doing our thang. <br><br>Next weekend though is fixin to be the weekend to end all weekends. Saturday is not only Doug's (roomate, not car ...

... afford to buy many more. Napa Valley is definitely a very expensive area!! I noticed the supermarkets in Texas had Zinfandel at a very reasonable price so I would get some more bottles from there to take home with me.<br><br>By the time I finished looking at the wineries it was early evening so I found a hotel (also expensive) and just went to a nearby restaurant for dinner and a couple of beers.

A few weeks until I leave and I still have a mountain of things to get done. Packing, moving, saying goodbye. Getting the finances in order. Oh, wait. The finances are already in order, in fact I have managed to save up much more money than I thought I would. So here comes the inevitable question....why am I still working? Really, I'm getting quite ...

... see more of the Napa Valley than I'd bargained for, but it was nice out, the country was beautiful so i took it in stride. Finally finding the interstate, I start heading north towards Reno. Took me a while to get used to driving her. Manual steering, manual brakes, it was all new to me. I was bouncing between both lines like a brand new driver lol! So far so good, I'm on the open highway, heading towards Donner Pass. My first real "test" if I can get past this ...

Hey so today has been interesting. A few things happened so far. We had dance class and i won the twist competition which was really weird, my science teacher used a vacume cleaner on my hair, me and jess are working on Vallena's present, and i got clarification on social studies with the teacher. So pretty much its a boring old strange day! Talk to ya soon.

... periodic basis. We wash our underwear and socks by hand almost every night and accept the offer of a washer and dryer when our pants and shirts need cleaning. We're probably pretty relaxed about what we think is clean or not. We each have two outfits, doubles of everything. We're both now thinking of reducing our clothing collections at home when we return. How about health and hygiene...what food sustains thee? What about elimination? Isn't it hard to deal with a new ...
