.... to wake up on day two rushing to the toilet at 7am to have diarreah and sickness at the same time in Paris! Was going so well, got the connecting flight to Paris, was overwhelmed with excitement, chatting to a local Boston resident who was giving me tips and then it was my turn to board... "Can I see your itinerary?" (showed her my return flight) "No we need an onward ticket from the USA" "An onward ticket?" "Yes a flight or bus ticket to your next desitnation, otherwise we are not letting you fly." So after assuring this little [View Full Entry]

Just got my acceptance from USC Friday and it's gonna be a crazy week of packing my apartment, quitting my job and finalizing my school info for next year. Looks like I'll be headed to Little Rock AR to meet up with my cousin Wes, who will be accompanying me on these adventures, before heading out to LA then on to Sydney. If anyone has been to these places, send me some info cause I got a lot of ideas, but nothing set in stone - just the way I want it. You've all had your own crazy adventures let me [View Full Entry]

Well I have a little less than 8 weeks until I leave for Japan again, and not much less stressful than last time unfortunately. I am still seeking someone to sublet my place for the summer and apparently the office has yet to locate any short term housing arrangements for Naho and me. This last part I am not as worried about since, they didn't find anything until about 3 weeks before my arrival the last time. However, I am stressed about finding someone to sublet my place. I suppose I still have another 5 weeks, but I really want to [View Full Entry]

Pretend I'm still in Boston - here are me and Mum at the Union Oyster Bar, the longest running restaurant in the United States! I ate too much bread, as Dad is always warning me not to do, so that smile on my face is very forced as I did not want to finish that clam chowder! [View Full Entry]

To say I am exotionally exhauseted would be an understatement. The conference has been wonderful and I feel veryu validated for the way in which our agency and approach adoption. It is hard to see the struggle so many adoption triad members have had to face becasue of the closed system. The shame and hurt that is caused by secercy. The one great thing that happeded today is that our keynote speaker was Darrly McDaniels - otherwise known as DMC from Run DMC. I was able to speak with him and of course had my picture taken! Tonight we are going [View Full Entry]

We had a great time touring Boston today. It was wicked cold here and we were working hard to keep warm. I tried to download pics but with the new laptop I was unsuccessful. I will try again tomorrow. We went on a sightseeing trolly tour and got off at Paul Revere's house and took a tour. He had 16 children and 51 grandchildren! Then we walked around Little Italy and went to Mike's Pasteries which we were told by many local was the best place to go. We then went to Fanuel Hall and had our pictures taken at the [View Full Entry]

SEUFER6: DESTINATION: BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTES Monday, March 5, 2007 This morning we packed up 3 suitcases loaded them in the minivan and made the journey to the big beautiful city of Boston. The drive was only about 1 hour. We will be staying at the Hyatt Hotel in downtown Boston for 2 nights and at a nice bed and breakfast for 2 nights in the north end. My dad drove us all the way into Boston, followed his map and got us nicely to our hotel. Our room wasn't quite ready, so the bellman held our luggage while we walked to a [View Full Entry]

Our second day here at Cranwell was much quieter, but just as relaxing, as our first day. We were up again by eight thirty and this time, had breakfast delivered to our room, which was done so with a flourish. The continental breakfast wasn't overly exciting, but it hit the spot, and we were ready for our morning yoga class. I've found that each yoga class I've taken has been different, depending on who the instructor is, and this was no exception. Luckily, since I've been away from yoga for a while, the class was very slow and the instructor very [View Full Entry]

I am feeling incredily spoiled and luxurious after yesterday's day at the spa - seriously, this is a delicious experience. We woke up relatively leisurely and headed over to the spa and fitness center for our ten am aqua aerobics class. We were by far the youngest people in there, so young, in fact, that the other ladies in the class were sure that we weren't participating. But we kept our resolve and joined the class, which was taught by an instructor who looked remarkably like my sister, only taller. She taught from dry land, which meant that we had ten [View Full Entry]
