semi understand Amber, I semi understand what your going thru, only on a MUCH smaller scale. Mom, aunt Linda and I went to Mexico last week. I dared not make eye contact with any one or else.....and its amazing how every vendor had 'really good deals.'. On our way out to cross back into US, we were bombarded hard before we crossed the invisible line. One lady had a pot and was so insistant that mom buy the pot that she started her price at $20 bucks and went down to $5. She put the pot in mom's rollie cart and mom finally told her very sternly, 'no, I don't want it! Its ugly....' finally the lady got the hint and took off after the next poor sole trying to make it quickly across that invisible line. Stay strong, remember why you are there....to have the time of your life....see you soon.

Thanks for the break from real life. Amber, I just got to read all of your blog. Oh I wish I was there with you! I now have an IPhone that I don't know how to use and all of the info in my BlackBerry didn't transfer to it but I have an IPhone. I will be in Vegas quite a bit in the near future with my mom. Billy misses you. Love you and have fun.
vicariously Amber I am going to all of the places I've always wanted to go.....with your help and on your dime :-) You may feel like you are all alone but if you only knew how those of us back home eagerly await your next postings. Can't wait to see you in Vegas with all of your stories and pictures. Stay safe and treasure your time!
Thanks Sherry! Today I asked a girl if she was homesick after being on he road six months and he said ' no'. I know that I have a great life at home and I also know that wherever, no place beats the states! Tomorrow off to Jordan!

Will do! I was accepted into my program so now I am feeling the urge to get home and get life going, of course that will be after I finish seeing a few more things!
I love your comments Linda, thanks, Amber
Enjoying Italy Hi Amber,
Thanks so much for including me on your travels - I am so enjoying my virtual vacation! I think I would have to pass on your anchovie dish though, although it is a beautiful presentation.
Happy travels!
