What's up?!? I'm just catching up on your travels. Sounds awesome. I like the description of the home town festival, Corpus Cristi procession.

l_warness have a great time in Alaska and thanks for the traffic tip, I made it to the airport in plenty of time.

I've got to go to Rome! Thank you for your journal; I can vacation vicariously in my cubicle. On your 4 hour wait at the airport, it's better than being bumped off your flight (speaking from experience).

I'm glad your having a great time.

How was Alaska? Hope you guys had a good time. It has been hard for me to keep up with the journal online because we don't always have access. Hope you are doing well. :)

OOHH, it is so good to hear from you! Alaska was good! Not very eventful, but it was relaxing. In Anchorage we just hung out with the family...pretty boring by the end. The trip back was good! did lots of work on myself, which i am sure you will hear about later! =) Anyway, you will be back very soon and that makes me happy! YAY! Ryan has monkey butt underwear, and it stinks (according to lisa!) hehe! ok get back here soon!! miss you!
