"Luggage and toll roads and Boston drivers, OH MY!" The first lesson I learned on this trip was one of those things you hear over and over again, but never listen to (at least I didn't). The lesson was: PACK LIGHT. There are things I wish I'd brought and (lots) of things I wish I hadn't, but in the end it is true that less is more. Yes, Mom, I w...

Unforuntaly the Thanksgiving travel season started on the day I left. And with me traveling standby on Southwest Airlines that wasn't good. I thought I would get a head start and head to the airport after leaving my IBM AIX class early. The gate agent told me 'Let me tell you how this is going to play out. You will see seats are available but th...

The morning began w/ Deanne making us a scrumtrulescent little breakfast and then a ride into downtown Boston. Deanne dropped us off at Faneuil Hall and then headed off to work for the morning, vowing to meet us for lunch around 1pm or so. Outside of Faneuil Hall we jumped onto the Freedom Trail and began our historical walking tour of Boston. O...

Finally the date of our departure arrived! We'd rushed around utilising the last minute to the max - by 2 pm we still hadn't started packing and we were due to leave for the airport by 3.30pm latest. However had mowed the lawns, fed the fish and cleaned the oven (obviously one of the key must-do's before any 3 month overseas trip!) No probs - pa...

I was up at 6:00am to go down and do our dirty laundry, oh what a joy! I figured out the final details of our trip into Boston as the clothes were washed and I drank my coffee (I know I am not supposed to have caffeine, but I am also not supposed to be sleep deprived). I went back up and woke up the family to get them into the shower so we can g...

Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain The spring break is on and I am heading down to Chicago. It is promising to be an exciting trip a...

Nothing too exciting to write home about.. This was a lazy week. I met Dr. Sharma, I went to the lab in Charlestown and talked with her. She's very nice but before we could get started with the PCR stuff, I had to get an MGH ID to get through security. Tuesday's visit was short and ended with a quick tour of the campus. On wednesday I was to mee...

We are planning to travel to South America this December, and to volunteer in different capacities in several countries as we work our way from Chile to Mexico. We are undertaking this trip for a number of reasons. One is to show South Americans that the United States is populated by people who would rather work along side them than invade or ex...
