So I'm sitting at JFK airport waiting for the plane to board. Why is it the Koreans always try to stampede the boarding door when it's not their turn? Of course, I left work early and my boss saw me leave, Murphy's Law always catches up with me. The flight was a little bit full but I managed to …

A collection of pictures of all my trips taken to New York for the past 3 years. Every time you see something new, and I'm sure next year when I visit, I'll spot another new place, or see the same place with another eye. :) It's a wonderful experience.

Lee and I got up, got ready, and gathered our gear together. He had called for a car service to pick us up for the airport, and they arrived about 10 minutes early.  That was good, in case of rain delays...but we still had plenty of time.  On the way to the airport, I received a work-rela…

So this was the last full day before my family headed back to Michigan. They decided to visit the Seaport because of the walk on the Brooklyn Bridge the night before. I guess the lights attracted them. It was a nice and relaxing time. The exhibits in the Seaport Mall were unexpected. A few int…

Meshel, (miiszkissesz) had a birthday on Aug 8th and I looked at her profile photo and thought, I could give her a gift by changing her shot. I downloaded the shot and did a little lighting and color changes and I hope she is happy with the outcome.  Happy Birthday!!   If this is a pho…

We drove to Westport, CT, where my cousins live. We then took a van from Connecticut to NYC, where we boarded a 6 PM KLM Royal Dutch Airways direct flight from NYC to Amsterdam.The flight was perhaps the smoothest I've ever been on.  The staff was very friendly and hospitable. We sat in the fi…

This weekend went by so fast!! It is getting colder here in NY which makes me so much more eager to get to Thailand.  While sitting at my desk for 8 hours a day I love to look at all the pictures of Thailand that TravBuddies have posted!  I have made a list of spots that I would like to c…

Saturday, June 11, 2005, the day of of my departure for one of my dream destinations was finally here. I woke up feeling much better this morning than I did the night before.  I took a nice hot shower, got dressed, and was in my taxi on may way to JFK airport. Though I was still running a…

My luggage was found today, 3 days after arriving home. It is still in Joburg, the hug of "lost" luggage.... They tell me it's on it's way to me now and should get to me by October 1st :)

My mother and I went to High falls park in NY for a day long getaway. It was beautiful! But I should add that the waterfall is not ALL natural but rather man enhanced, which I was able to pick up but apparently most aren't.

Riding across the land kicking up sandSheriff's posse on my tail cause I'm in demand The next morning we woke up early...6:30AM!!!  Which I think is earlier than either of us have every gotten up...we may have gone to bed that late...but wake up before the sun rises; Hardly.  but we did.…

I'm infamous for not packing for huge trips like this until the last minute. Yes, I'll make 14,000 lists of what I should be packing, which I'll then revise 27 times, which I'll then color code, which I'll then sort in order of importance, and so and and so forth. However, I don't actually put anyt…

The time has come:   I truly have enjoyed writing these updates to everyone.  I love getting the responses and being able to stay in touch with everyone.  Those of you that have been getting these have followed me for the last year through everything from my Officer Basic Course to…

    I don't know about you, but I think windmills are beautiful, so when my boyfriend said he had driven near a windmill farm not too far from Syracuse, I told him we had to go check it out. I've wanted to go for a few months, but I finally just got the chance to.    T…
