Well not exactly on the road, more like up, up and away. We are currently on our way from LAX for EZE also known as Buenos Aires, Argentina. First we have to stop at JFK in NYC so I thought I’d SMT (Share My Thoughts) while relaxing up here about 35,000 feet above the Earth’s surface. I just love the fact that I can connect from the plane. Patrice and I were fortunate to get upgraded to Business Class so this should be a fun leg. I was just wondering, do they serve those fudge sundaes for breakfast?
Thank you to the many friends who have asked when we are going on vacation, telling me that you look forward to my ramblings online. You are very kind and it still amazes me that anyone wants to read this except my dear and wonderful mother.
Hopefully this trip will be less eventful than the previous National Park tour that was interrupted in Terlingua, Texas by my kidney stone. It was a lot more fun writing about that 85 mile drive to the ER to Big Bend Regional Medical Center (and the kind hands of Dr. Kyle McCombs) than it was to experience it.
An interesting note about the blog is that when I had my stone, the hits on the site almost doubled. Apparently my readers love hearing about me in pain and misery. I will keep that in mind when I write to you this trip.
No kidney stone so far but I did have the usual painful experience through TSA. As usual they did their bang up job making sure no one brought a pen knife aboard the plane. Not sure why they worry about a passenger bringing a knife when 60 minutes into the flight our flight attendant gave us 2 each (see photo).
I need to stop writing now, because it is time to practice my Spanish.
Arrivederci, oops I mean hasta luego.
