Hello everyone from Chris! Linda left off in Jersey, I think she alluded to the New York trip for a day. The short and dirty is this: Okay maybe not so short, for those of you who are bored by so much blah,blah,blah,blah,blah, just speed read or skip every other word and make up your own story it can be fun to. If all else fails just look at the pictures okay? We picked up an electric train (remember the electric part for later) in a Jersey burb going into New York City. Very cool set up, you pay a few [View Full Entry]

As most of you know I've been working all summer, so I haven't really had time to dwell on the fact that I'm actually going to be living in another country, speaking a language I've never spoken for more than an hour at a time, and living in some strange person's house for 3 1/2 months. So now it's a few days before I leave, more than a week since I've worked and let me tell you, I've had plenty of time to dwell. Don't get me wrong, I'm super excited to be going, but I'm super nervous about everything, too. [View Full Entry]

Well, here we go. I’m cheating a little because I’m still in the states, but I’m a little bit more than 24 hours away from boarding a plane headed to Dublin. I figured I’d kick this off while I still had plenty of time and enough sense to introduce this blog business. In the past few days I’ve packed my life for the next 3 months (and some change) into one green suitcase and my L.L. Bean book bag that I’ve used since 8th grade. I’ve also passed through Greenville to drop a few things off in my apartment for the [View Full Entry]

Here we are in Atlanta! It is nice to be back in my hometown any time I get the chace, but I am always amazed at what a global city it has become! The airport is a sea of humanity...good people watching. We are getting ready to depart for San Diego. Our only worry right now is if all of our luggage will fit in the truck of the convertible...hmmm.... [View Full Entry]

It was quite sad to end my year at Bank of America but I will hopefully be back next year upon my return [View Full Entry]

Well, Dad never thought he would own two places at once. Especially since one is in Florida. Beautiful area, near St. Petersburg. However, he went to vacation in the mountains of Northern Georgia and voila! He bought a little place in Hiawassee. So I have been visiting a few times and plan to go back next month. Hiawassee is a little town near Lake Chatuge. It has beautiful scenery, shopping, boating and all that goes with that; two years ago they added a roped off area and created a sand beach for swimming. It also has a playground area for children, [View Full Entry]

My husband Rich and I began planning our trip back in February. Fresh from our honeymoon and skipping our annual January vacation we were looking to plan something big. August 25th is our one year wedding anniversary so we started with that date in mind. Today, we have really started getting in to gear with the plans. It goes something like this: Fly from our home in beautiful and historic Savannah, Georiga to San Diego, California. Grab our rental car (a Mustang Convertible) and spend 11 days driving north to San Francisco. We will be treking up coastal Hwy1 to see [View Full Entry]
