Tales From The Trip - Starting Soon

Like this poor blog hasn't been neglected enough, we're flying out tomorrow for a month long visit back to the land that spawned us, the US of A. The journey to Massachusetts, our first stop to stay with Mother and Father Hermit and see Hermit's Big Sis, will be long with layovers in Fiji (5 hours) and LA (8 hours). We did it this was as it saved us thousands of dollars, which I hope will be worth it. Given the behaviour of Her Majesty and Clive this morning I'm starting to doubt it. And I'm trying not to dwell on the trouble Miss Thing will no doubt get herself into as she stays behind and prepares to head back in August.

After two and a bit weeks in Massachusetts, we head to New Mexico for two weeks with Momma Mooselet and Shepster with a visit from brother Gabe and Mrs. Gabe while we are there. Talk about a crowded house!

I am taking my netbook computer with me and am hoping to get some updating done on the blog in terms of redesign and more consistent posts. I did briefly consider taking some work stuff with me to get done, but then I came to my senses. The only other form of recreational distraction I'm bringing are some books I've bought and haven't had time to read. I'm sure the kids will keep me busy enough that I still won't finish them, but hope springs eternal.

A virtual wave to all you US-based readers as I fly over or close to your state. To all my Aussie friends, I will see you in 5 weeks.

Tales from the Trip starts now...

O....M....G...!!!! I am seriously spooked! I literally just finished posting a blog about family history research of mine and looking for people from Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts. Weird!

Have a great trip! We are off to Europe in a week and a half!

Oh, and if you come across anyone who knew Morrisons in Massachusetts, let me know!

Bon voyage! I wish we could see you while you're here, but I guess what this means is that we'll have to dust off our passports and come to the land down under. ;-)

Don't forget to stock up on Reese's peanut butter cups while you're here.

Brissiemum2. I used to live in Chicopee. I owned a condo just outside of the Air Force Base. I grew up in Ludlow, an adjoining town to Chicopee and Chicopee Falls. I don't believe I remember any Morrisons, though.
