... to leaving my Ellie Grace for 19 days. Yes, I know, Adam too, but he's a big boy and I know that he won't forget me while I'm gone ;)
I'll keep everyone updated on my experience. It will be a new adventure everyday, full of tears and heartbreak, I'm sure, but hopefully full of rewards and gratitude--both ways!
Stay tuned!
Love,

... we all learned in kindergarten) with my favorite people. A memorable moment or a picture worth a 1000 words. I hope to share as much as I can in an unfamiliar internet cafe.

Thanks for all your support as I start this new adventure! Hope this finds you all well. Enjoy your upcoming holiday - I may be in travel mode and not able to wish you a Happy 4th of July, so I say it in advance.

... live online webcam and it appeared be fairly empty, but by the time we got there it was pretty full.

The event provided kids with a checklist that they could complete portions of and then turn in for a certificate and a prize. Unfortunately, we did not bring in a pen so Dad had to hoof it back to the car to grab a few pens. It was not that heroic, since the car was pretty close, but I was nervous when I was exiting because the ...

... Ungerne er begyndt at blive rigtig ked af at jeg snart skal afsted, og gør deres bedste for at overtale mig til at blive et ekstra år, men det bliver der nu ikke noget af. I går havde jeg dem med ude og spise is, et sted hvor vi var ret ofte i sommers og som de elsker, og bagefter var vi i noget som hedder Skate 'n Fun Zone, som er sådan en rulleskøjtehal med en arkade osv. Det var rigtig hyggeligt og sjovt og gud hvor kommer jeg til at savne dem meget! På fredag ...

... around the back field of the farm. We past many cartoon character on display (Charlie Brown, Digimon, Disney characters) and other characters not seen on TV (Alien space ship, big-head guy who kept loosing his hat, and farm and jungle animals). We went on many of their slides because there were so many of them. We did other activities there like the corn maze (we raced each other through the maze), rope swing (Lee did a face plant), and cow ...

Arrived on short flight from Pittsburgh,and was picked up at National airport by my friend Sharon,the drive back to her house in the middle of the city was so bizarre in the sense that at 9am on Christmas morning there was no one out in the city at all,the streets were deserted and the buildings all looked like silent testimony to the emptiness of the whole place. While wanting to have the camera I was quite honestly to tired it was, after ...

... sing songs (!). We've already done some random team building exercises and I think I've found friends here already, there were quite a few of us on the flight there! Looking forward to going to Walmart either today or tomorrow as I've forgotten so much stuff, gonna have to ask the people who can drive nicely to see if they can take me into town! The cigarette abstinence is going well, only had one ...

This is the first hostel, in fact the first anywhere, that I've come across double bed sized bunk beds, pity it is let down by finding a 'how to eradicate bed bugs' website left on the computer screen after the owner had used it. Taking the Subway over to Arlington National Cemetery, America's most revered military cemetery, I had arrived just in time to witness the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the ...

After weeks and months of preparation, planning, training and more importantly shopping, we are ready to hit the road. After another busy day of shopping, shopping and running all the last minute errands, we are finally ready to go. We got back to mom and dads, with a goodbye crew ready to say farwell. But as ususal in the life of Melinda and Paul we were once again ...

... being climbed over either)! But there were no aisle seats left. British Airway flights open checkin on the internet 24 hours in advance, you can register and choose your own seat and then arrive at the airport and go to a 'baggage drop off' counter just to dump your bags.... hence all the good seats were gone. So the lovely lady at the counter said she would make a phone call and check... next thing you know I'm in Premuim Economy.... 6" extra leg room and wider seats. Across ...
