For the past few days I've started to have major anxiety about the trip, particularly the flight this Saturday. Dr. Rob from msn.com got it exactly:
Few air travelers are immune to that little lurch in their stomach when a plane takes off-that pang of recognition that you are no longer bound to the earth and your safe arrival back on terra firma is ( Read more... )

My mom and I have been working on planning our upcoming Scotland/England trip and coordinating with my aunts. Although I am excited to go I am also upset and sad that Josh isn't going. Not only am I going to miss him but I won't get to enjoy the trip with him. I'm kind of regretting going, but I know that it is important for me (and my mom) to go ( Read more... )

My mom and I booked our tickets today (after hours of hunting down a good deal online last night)! We will be heading to the UK in just over a month. We'll fly from Phoenix to Glasgow, Scotland on September 29 and then head up to my aunt's on the Isle of Skye. We'll spend a few days there with her and then head south to see my other aunt in Matlock ( Read more... )

I had a few Washington posts that I was planning, but since it's a few weeks in the past I'll just make one short final post ( Read more... )

We didn't do too much "touristy" stuff while in Washington but we did take a drive up to Mt. Rainier with my uncle and grandma. The air was so fresh and yummy and it was actually quite cold, especially since there was still snow. My sister and I took a short hike while my uncle and grandma waited, she is not able to do much walking, especially off- ( Read more... )

shireencita and I arrived in Seattle yesterday. The flight was one of the scariest I've been on because the plane kept tilting left and right, and there was a lot of turbulence. But we made it. Then I waited about 40 minutes in line for our rental car. We were getting the smallest car and she tried to get me to upgrade for $69, yeah right. Near the end of the ( Read more... )

I've had several friends call me a "busy beaver," and one even called me the "busiest beaver." I suppose that is a good description.

honeymellie's trip here was fantastic. Mellie was an exchange student at my high school my junior year. We really clicked, and nickyad, honeymellie and I became extremely close. After she returned to Germany our contact was sporadic, but we ( Read more... )

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. Although the day was a bit crummy (more to come, if I feel like it . . . but basically I was crying at school!) the weekend was fun. My sister and I went to Vegas to see the Cirque du Soleil LOVE! It was fantastic! I had never seen Cirque du Soleil before and it was really cool. There was so much going on ( Read more... )
