Ramada Inn Lincoln

... 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...<br>

... monogramed JD towels and wash cloths would look good in any Master Bathroom.<br><br>Once I put my tongue back into my mouth we headed west along I80. At Des Moines we cut down I35 to route 34 then south on 59 and back west on 2 into Lincoln, NE. This is the real America, where real people do the real work. Where homes are seperated by vaste fields of grain. Where towns are few and far ...

Alright, i'm still at home and getting ready to go to the airport. My nerves are shot and i'm kinda sad that i'm leaving everyone for 2 weeks!! But it's going to be amazing and i just know everyone will be reading this and commenting to keep me happy and entertained... RIGHT????!!!!!<br><br>Also, i will miss my cats. ;)<br>

Well, it's been a long time planning and it's almost here. I've got only 46 hours left before i leave for France. I do hope you'll join me on my 2 week excursion to Europe. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you may even be appalled, but in any case you'll have nearly as much fun as me (ok, let's be honest, not even close, but you'll be alright). Talk to you soon!!<br><br>TTFN <br>

... South America? How much do I want? <br> Can I lose those last ten pounds so I can fit those jeans I want to take?<br><br> Craigslist shall be my friend. I have already starting attempting to sell some things. Want a box set of Family Guy dvds? No one would buy the dual cassette tape deck. I wonder if they'll buy the VCR. Any one want a Janet Craig? I hate to wate stuff, but it's easier to just give away. Is there a market for odds and ends ...

... walking around and realized that it must have been move in day recently because there were kids everywhere. We spent some time on their strip and then decided to keep driving instead of staying the night there. We have a long drive to our next stop, Boulder, CO.

Miles driven: approximately 15 around town<br>Weather: warm but rainy until late afternoon. Beautiful late afternoon -sunny skies high in the 70's.<br>Wildlife: zero<br><br> We started the day off dodging raindrops, but luckily by late afternoon the weather decided to cooperate, allowing us just enough time to get outside and take in a few sites of downtown Lincoln, the capital city of Nebraka.<br> We ...

... visit with Sally. She enjoys living in LIncoln again. Some of the town's features she likes include the many parks, walking trails, and an excellent public library system. <br><br>It was wonderful to be able to sleep in, if just for an extra two hours. I left Sally's house at the extremely "LATE" time of 10:30 am to head east toward St. Louis.

Less than 48 hours to departure time. We think we have everything ready, planned and accounted for. It still doesn't seem real that we will be finally leaving for Ireland. We can't wait to go but yet don't want to leave the kids. I am sure they will miss us but will be distracted by the extra activities we have planned for them. They probably won't miss is as much as we will miss them. T-45 hours and counting!!

... how much their rooms were and they said the cheapest was $80. EIGHTY DOLLARS!!?? The hostel would have cost me $10. After swiftly deciding that I wouldn't be staying the night in Lincoln I set about looking for a place to stow away my backpack. Eventually I managed to get a receptionist at a swanky hotel to put it in their baggage locker for free and proceeded to look around the city. Result! The next train wasn't until 00:30 so I had plenty of time to ...
