::World Weary Traveler::

Onesome: World-- Okay, you've been here; you've been there. ...or maybe not. Is there someplace you think it would be cool to spend a holiday? Christmas in the Alps? St. Patrick's Day in Erie? Oh, sure, take the entire family if you'd like!

Oh, the Rose Parade in Pasadena, for sure. Perhaps Christmas Eve in Disney World. But we have alternative things to do on those days that I prefer: a great party a friend of ours throws on New Years Eve and Midnight Mass. Well, cross fingers and we will make it to NYC to see the Christmas things this year. Don't feel comfortable leaving my mom behind, but she has to have radiation ever day. They can skip the treatment because it's a holiday, but she can't skip a treatment and make herself feel better--and let me tell you she is depressed right now, being mostly confined to the house.

Twosome: Weary-- Have you ever had to deal with jet lag? How have you handled it? ...and which direction is worse for you, going East or going West? Just curious...

I've never gotten out of the Eastern time zone on a plane flight, so I don't know.

Threesome: Traveler-- When you've traveled, what conveyance has bothered you the most? That camel in Morocco? The train ride through the Rockies? Your brother-in-law's Dodge? What just set your nerves on edge?

Very similar to the latter--my mother's car. The mechanic kept telling her that the car was "all right." Yeah, sure. The engine sounded like a truck, the brakes stuck, and it overheated when we tried to drive it out to Newport.

What's so special about a St Patrick's Day in Erie, PA?? Maybe a St Patty's Day in Eire, ok, but Erie?

Hey. As long as it's not Eerie, Indiana. :-)
