Off to JFK Flight to Washington, DC Missed Atlanta flight! Maria helped me to arrange a cab to pick me up this morning to go to JFK. It was only $23…only $10 more than if I had taken the LIRR and the Airtrain. Plus I didn’t have to wake up quite as early. I was at the airport about 2 ½ hours early so there was plenty of time just sitting around. Once again it gave me a chance t update my journal. I’m happy to report that I’m actually writing this entry on September 1st! I’m up-to-date…until tomorrow. Lol My flight from New York City to Washington was delayed on the runway for about half an hour. Hmm, this is gonna make it a close call for my connector flight down to Atlanta.

Hello everyone! Thanks for checking out this site. We are anxious to start our trip. Here is a pic of Mary and I in Hawaii - we just finished a helicopter tour of Kauai. We just wanted to upload something to practice using this site. Meanwhile, we are getting ready for our September 3 departure to Dublin. We plan on renting a car and driving up the east coast to Northern Ireland, along the "North Shore" (not quite like the one in Minnesota) and down the west coast past Galway to the amazing Cliffs of Mohrer. After that we'll have to head back to Dublin. There are a few pubs there that we haven't been to that have our names all over them. It's going to put the NE Pub Crawl to shame!!! Plus we need ... read more

"A Conversation Overheard at the Urinal Wall between Two Young Men with Short Haircuts at Hartfield International Airport, Atlanta: "Hey man, what gate are you leaving from?" "B17." "Yeah? I'm leaving from B19. Hey, do ya wanna grab something to eat?" "Nah, my flight leaves in, like, 20 minutes." "Well, I hope we see each other again." "Same here," Shake. Tuck. Zip. Shake of the other head, "Actually, no. No, I don't want to see you again, because you know where that would be-" Together they shouted, "Iraq!" Silently I thought, "Heaven." So many young men in uniform today. As our plane pulled away from the terminal in Norfolk in the glow of the sunrise, the muzak piped into the cabin was "Anchors Aweigh," a song known by heart to every sailor who sang it as ... read more
