Well, today is my birthday and I'm shifting gears from Guatemala to China. I have 3 weeks until I leave. Willy Yang on Travelblog’s Asia Forum, enters great information from a guidebook about China. He has an entry about the Chinese horoscope. I was born in the year of the horse. “Horse People born in the Year of the Horse are popular. They are cheerful, skillful with money, and perceptive, although they sometimes talk too much. They are wise, talented, good with their hands, and sometimes have a weakness for members of the opposite sex. They are impatient and hot-blooded about everything except their daily work. They like entertainment and large crowds. They are very independent and rarely listen to advice. They are most compatible with Tigers, Dogs, and Sheep.” For those of you who know ... read more

I really hate Delta. All that time I spent in line yesterday getting my flight rebooked was a waste. They had tried to put me on a flight out of Gatwick into Edinburgh so I wouldn't have to worry about purchasing another train ticket. Well, about 20 minutes after I left Nashville airport to head to my icky hotel room my "confirmed" flight on BA was cancelled. Now that flight is full. I get into Gatwick at 7am and my new flight to Edinburgh isn't until 8pm. So I spent another hour at the counter today while the same guy (bless his heart) tried to fix my flight. They gave me a note saying that it's the airline's fault I missed my train. I wonder if the UK train system cares. But at least I'm getting ... read more

I am at a stone table at Stone Mountain Park in Atlanta. It is 9am and I am watching Danielle bike back and forth in long sweeps past our campsite. A friend she met (on a bike with equally loud training wheels) came by a few minutes ago and off she went. Jacquelyn finished her book and Ed is walking around with wires hanging out of his ears talking to someone from work. Did I mention that I am required to pay attention enough to wave to Danielle each time she passes me by? It requires a great deal of attention…. Anyway, day 1 came and went in a flourish. Shannon slept over to help me finish up with the house and the RV and most importantly the kids. They had slept over at their best ... read more
