Scotch? Together with Bombay Sapphire Gin? Are you trying to put me under the table?

.) Plus... shop for one more dinner!

sorry, sorry

Darn that Expedia!

Cheer up; more time now to look forward to that trip and fantasize what you're going to do and see, and what you're going to eat and such.

That's always the good part of going away.

100% air.

These aren't upscale places... just long tables with computers on them, side by side. Some might sell bottled juice, but that's about it.

In First World locations, it seems one almost has to use the hotel's pricey business center unless you have a wireless device to bring along. I don't, other than my iPhone. I'll be able to check my mail, but dealing with the forums would be difficult. Too much one finger typing. The hotel business centers cost an arm and a leg, (the last hotel I was in wanted 10 dollars for 10 minutes) so I try to minimize the time spent on them. But my wife is due for a new computer, so maybe we'll pick one up while we're there that is portable and wireless. The problem might be that she really can't use an English language operating system very easily. I'm sure I won't be able to stay away for the full vacation, and will find some way to check in from time to time. Hey... I'm addicted. I have to check in from time to time!

Stitchawl

not sure how long it's been since you have been here, but you will fiind that many if not most chain coffee shops have internet, as well as quite a few cafes and restaurants, such as Panera and even *shudder* McDonalds. it appears all you are lacking is a laptop!

I did all my chores. I finished the wash, and added more clothes for the trip. I packed the suitcase and strapped it up tightly. I got the cat ready to go to the cat house. My itinerary safely put into my pocket along with my passport and Japanese alien registration card. Everything ready for tomorrow's departure.

My wife came home and told me we don't leave until Wednesday.

I think a glass of Bombay Sapphire is in order.

bwahahahahahaahahahahahaha

Why not? Air is a fluid, right?

Actually, I collected bottles of it. Mason Jars so they are air tight. Collected from all the US states, and most of the foreign countries I've been in. Lot's of little Mason Jars! Each labeled and sealed with sealing wax. Right now the collection is on loan to my son's house, as he has more space than I do. His stoner friends think it pretty neat!

And I though I am an odd one? Phew...

Stitchawl: Better early then late. I woke up one morning and went to check the computer to see if my flight was leaving on time. Only when I saw that the flight was boarding did I realize that I had read the arrival time for the departure time.

The good news is that I was able to catch a plane leaving three hours later even if it went to a different airport.

I ate way too much at the holiday party. Way, way, way too much.

With the second cup of Lapacho, off to bed.
Hopefully, see you tomorrow.
