Anyways, I was all ready to see it take off the next day. From work we can see everything that takes off or lands at the base. About 10:30 am we were all kinda peeking and waiting. About 10:45 am some issues cames up that I had to deal with and missed it :bawling:
Sorry to hear the back is still troubling you, Virgil. I've never used a garment bag - they always look so hard to carry. I can't carry much, bags unbalance me, so I usually try to cram everything into a wheelie bag. It's my ambition to go away with just one carry-on bag, like the guy on the OneBag website - unfortuately I seem to need more clothes than he does: must be a woman thing. But I did set off this year with one medium-size case (on wheels) and one medium-size shoulder strap bag - trouble is, I can't resist shopping while I'm on these once-in-a-lifetime trips....Quote:

Why is everything going all wonkie on me?? My MP3 player is doing weird things when I put it on my Christmas playlist now Napster is acting weird.
Bossman is in town.....again. Luckily for me he's pretty ok.
:lol: No I would not venture to tht kind. Plus my wife would kill me. I pack alot too and I try to carry it all. I hate going away and not having the conveniences of home.Quote:

3) Footlong corndogs maybe a little too much of a good thing.
There is nothing quite like fireworks is there. Well we have New Years Eve to look forward to we always have firework here. There is also a big fireworks display here on Australia Day which also happens to be my mums birthday so she has all the luck a public holiday and fireworks.:pQuote:

Yes eh a footlong is too much of a good thing. The hotdogs in eddie rockets in dublin are footlongs... can only ever eat half...Quote:

I don't know which is worse, an air mattress or a futon. Those suck big time too.Quote:
