... I don't think that I could take such a brave step of turning off my phone (I even temporarily disconnected it) if I didn't have this NetBook available to me for Skyping and even e-mail when I can pick up WiFi. Nevertheless, I highly recommend that, if your phone is ALWAYS with you, to leave it at home for a few months. It's kind of like weening yourself too much caffeine! You know it's good for you, but it's gonna hurt to start.<br> Anyway this is meant to be a travel log and the only travel ...

... the Museum of Natural History to gaze at the Hope diamond and other treasures. Indeed, there is a collection of jewels that would make a pirate weep for joy. It was fun being dazzled. We also made our way to the portrait gallery after a STELLAR sandwich from the Potbelly..oh it was so yummy. But I digress. Here's a peek of what I speak...

... wasn't at the time, we thought we were going to get frostbite in our toes and fingers), however looking back on it, it really was an amazing experience. Many of the people we talked to said that it was their first and last time to attend the Times Square event; people are crazy to do that every year. Unfortunately there are no fireworks in Times Square, this happens in Central Park...not happy about that!!!! Anyway, after we were let out of the pen ...

... were some exhibits that I simply could not bring myself to view, I was already nauseated and weepy. I was surprised by what I did not know. Hitler first started his abuse of people with disabilities and mental disease and then homosexuals before moving on to the Jewish people. I don't remember that from my history classes. The piece that touched me the most was the tower of photo's. These are happy photo's from ...

... to find something else for when that is over. After my second trip to Boulder, as I was becoming more determined to move there, I started searching on Craigslist and found my upcoming living situation there. It is a house in central Boulder, just north of Pearl Street (the main street with all the shops, restaurants, and bars) and three girls, all my age (23) and young professional college grads, live there now. There was a fourth girl who moved to ...

... driver if there was a drug store in Waikoloa (I think we were probably about a mile from there, whereas we were 20 miles north of the airport and probably 30 miles north of our condo, which wasn't ready for us yet anyway). Yes, there was, but Larry said there had to be some kind of sundries store in that shopping mall we'd seen. I told him I really thought that a shopping mall with all those high-end stores would not have a sundries store - but there ...

... Institution's Freer Gallery on biblical manuscripts from before 1000 C.E. I wonder what it's like to spend months and months copying the Bible by hand. Do your hand get all inky and stiff? And it must have been cold work in, say, Trier in February. Brrrr. And what did they use for ink and stylus? All questions the exhibit did not answer. The US Holocaust Museum has big blank walls outside. At night they are ...

... The Scudder family should be commended. The ride back on the Grey Lady was very comfortable. We sat at a table with a mother and teenage daughter who were visiting family. They had missed the earlier ferry and the daughter was going to be late for an important dress up party. At first it was a very emotional time, but it was nice to see how the mother cared and comforted her daughter. By the time they returned to Hyannis they were laughing and hugging and it was ...

... ball down the field or convincing my peers to partake in fundraisers, I was finding something interesting to do with Kiki. To add to the excitement, I volunteered to help two other girls involved in the exchange with entertaining their students. These two girls were apparently busier than I was, so I took Marta and Belen on as my honorary exchangees. We went on trips into Philadelphia where the girls recognized the steps that our ...
