Traveling and other stuff

No wheelie bags, Virgil?

Just seeing this now. I didn't take the wheelie bag. I took the garment bag on that trip. My back is still bothering me.

argh! Yet again a half day vacation is ruin.

[papayahed]

doh!!! The space shuttle landed in Shreveport!!! Due to bad weather in the south east the plane carrying the space shuttle had to land at the airforce base here.



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

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....

Could you persuade someone to treat you to a massage of some kind for Christmas? Professional (no, not that sort ) or home, doesn't matter - might do you a power of good. I had one in China that I thought was going to kill me but at the end I felt ten years younger - wonderful!

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.

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.

Mom is in town and so far so good. We went to a christmas festival yesterday it's in a small town about an hour away. I learned 3 things:

1) Fireworks are always good.

2) Corndogs are always good.

3) Footlong corndogs maybe a little too much of a good thing.

No matter how you slice it sleeping on an air matress leaves a lot to be desired.

Well, yes, papaya, if you slice an air mattress, it would leave a lot to be desired...

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...

Tell me about it. Thats what i had to sleep on in Oz.

We tried that one on mum and it didn't work - we still have to get a present.

Oh I know that too. My wife and I had to sleep on one at our nephew's house and it had a slow leak and by middle of the night it was practically flat. Probably another reason why my back is still bothering me. I don't know which is worse, an air mattress or a futon. Those suck big time too.
