They disliked the car ride and I disliked saying goodbye.
Due to construction, we drove around Kansas City for 2 hours.

Celebrated Nick's birthday by going out for drinks at a chill bar.

Alle haben die Bilder mit Gregor angeschaut und haben gefragt, wie wo was- wie laufts deine Beziehung, wo wird euch wöhnen, wann werden wir heiraten, wann kommt kinder.... ich sagte, Gregor und ich haben noch zeit aber wenn was passiert, werde ich was sagen.

Morgen gibts einkaufen und am Samstag gehen wir ins Kino. Ich schrieb euch später!!

... Also, I'm beginning to realize its not just PA that smells like a big pile of manure but pretty much every gas station we stop at. Can't wait to get to those mountains!! Lincoln was a ghost town when we got there not much to do or see. The hotel was similarly empty. My extremely exciting day came to end with a viewing of part I of the csi trilogy. I bet you can hardly wait for tomorrow's update...

... Where hay bales out number humans and cattle out number hay bales. Where dual wheel pickups are king. Where 5 plus miles views across fields are common. And where corn rules.

This drive may have added a couple hours to our trip but we saw what most tourists don't. Pictures we have, bu they are in the camera which is down in the truck. I'll try to get them uploaded tomorrow night.

In February of 2009 I was living in Orlando and unhappy in my current career. The downturn in the economy hit my industry really hard. I wanted a break, but I wanted to do something incredible when I took that time off. I love to travel and there are so many places I couldn't go b/c of the lack of sufficient time off.

... Church historic sites, the Choir and Orchestra loaded our buses for the sound check at the Holland Performing Arts Center in Omaha, the site of our concert that evening. The Holland Center, completed in 2005, features the Kiewit Concert Hall, a magnificent 2,000 seat concert hall with tremendous acoustics.

Choir and Orchestra members were delighted to perform in this beautiful hall, the only indoor concert hall in which we would be performing on ...

return to Dallas. This is shaping up to be like the time we went to
Sedona and the morning flights canceled. The other bad part is we have
a tight connection in Miami.
