So what is a terrorist training activity???
Ps- buy some dramamine for the flight back in like two months. pop a dramamine with a glass of wine, and the screaming children will no longer matter . . .. not that I have ever done that . . .. ;)
knowing how much you just *love* small children.. i can only imagine that the flight was pretty close to being your own personal hell. well.. maybe it would be worse for you if you had two small children on either side and the clintons in front and jimmy carter behind you offering some boiled p-nuts ;) ;) bwhwhahah. anyway... i'm glad you made it there safely.. and i'm loving the google map (?) of the distances/locations you've traveled!!) miss you but i know you'll have fun! xoxoxo
fun fun fun You journal entry was the highlight of our day which tells you what our day was, at least no kids with kites or pringles, but I told you that story of how I was once asked to see a kid on an El Al flight who got his penis bitten by another kid in flight. So you aint the only one who has a story. Hope you get to your destination intact and get everything together. Nadia wants the phone # of the speedo guy or the puppy.
travel ups and downs Heard about the flight delay and hope it doesn't mess up your plans too much but such is the lot of travellers today and actually thruout time, the best laid plans always are subject to arbitrary problems. I am sure it will all work out and I am excited to hear about south africa once you get there. All is great here, the usual stuff going on, surgery, work home. I am not living the fascinating life. Liked the pictures and who cares what they are wearing? Men in speedos look ok from the angle you took the shot.
Well, I hope you get to your destination in good stead and keep us informed about all your adventures. Love Mommy
Forget The Speedos!! Where was the "eye-candy" for the heterosexual males?? I saw NO picures of scantily-clad FEMALES!! I KNOW your dad and I would greatly appreciate consideration in these matters!!
I look forward to future blogs Shy... As a teacher of history.. i might INSIST that you come and present to my classes... DOCUMENTATION... DOCUMENTATION!!! Have fun!!!!

i love that you put pictures up again... they're great to see.. and i'll admit, i definitely enlarged the ones of the guys and esp the one of the puppy!!! =) eee. anyway.. back to hw but i'm always excited when you put up a new post! xo
a lawyer's office Well, as usual your blog is more interesting than my comment which reflects on the fact that you are living a higher life than I am at present. Glad to get your culinary take on Israel aw well as hearing that Israelis haven't changed (but would they be Israelis if they did?) We got the closet done and while it was still empty (about 15") with all the wood panelling and the shelves both Daddy and I simultaneously said 'it looks like a lawyer's office' so I was tempted to put a chair in there, unlike as in your room and get a little sign saying Shylie Armon Esq. but opted instead to hang up my clothes.
All else is as ever, we enjoyed talking to you and eventually I will figure out how to download the pictures off my camera and after our adventure in Aspen we will send some snaps.
Give our love to all and enjoy your time with Sabta. She is a real gem. even if she has way too many clocks. At least you can guess the time as they all seem to go off a bit differently. say hey to all the friends if you see em and forgive any typos as I forgive yours (not)
Mazel Tov! Hey Shylie! I am so happy to hear that you made it out of CDG alive...I hope my experience is not as terrible. At least you are with your family (which I am sure means yummy food and good times). When do you make your way to South Africa?
Enjoy Isreal!
Am I the only one who's favorite part of this entire site will be the fact that you actually paid attention to what type of plane you were flying, and not just that it was a 747, but a 747-400. If you get a chance to ride a 777 I'll be officially jealous.
To hell with France.
life in travel hopefully by the time you read this you will be entrenched in Sabta's and getting a normal sleep in a bed. but to be 21 is to take things alot better than 57. Again, your commentary is always interesting, insightful and entertaining, so enjoy your days with Sabta and have a safe and happy time. Mommy
you know how in those creepy sci-fi movies, there is always some "life giving" force or object or whatever.. well, i'm starting to believe that you might be mine.. because last night.. around 11ish (when you were definitely flying over the atlantic to the dreaded france, i felt myself getting weaker and weaker with each mile that you were flying. well.. it could be the fact that i'm massively pms-ing and that even a picture of barbaro could make me burst into tears, but i thought that my nice aforementioned blurb sounded better.. so yeah... if you by any chance find a time machine to speed up the next nine weeks (hey, it'll get me thru microbio faster too!!) please send it along!) xoxoxo
ps- love the pictures out the plane window.. way to stick it to the french ;) ;)
I'm in the Charles DeGaulle airport right now, and I have to say, the French are definitely the worst, followed closely by the rest of the EU. They apparently also don't believe in air conditioning either. I'm dying.
bon voage well you are off for 9 weeks and it will take that long for us to get the house into a livable condition. The closets are beginning and then the drapes. So by the time you hit home once again it will hopefully be ready for you. Take care and enjoy it all. We love you
Perhaps you can find a Frenchie that has showered in the past week. Those damn frog-eating surrender monkeys. Remind them while you're there and if it wasn't for the US, they'd all be speaking Kraut right now.

You know, for everyone across the world that seems to hate America so much, they sure love our dolla dolla billz.
