Sleepless in…Texas still

I tried my hardest, but could not sleep. I get this way in cars and planes also. I can’t sleep very well sitting up. Especially if I can’t turn on my side. As I posted earlier I was up at 2:30 am taking pictures with Hipstomatic on my iPhone, and tried to sleep, but to no avail. I may have napped out for a few minutes Here or there, but that was the best that I could do.
I must say there are a lot of interesting people on this train. From the real drunk guy who went to the bars our our layover , then couldn’t find his seat, to the whole French student group to the guy heading home after working on the BP cleanup in the gulf. It is interesting how a train can bring the groups together. I just saw the family that is sitting right behind me, with the baby that is keeping us up. There are six kids in the family in addition to the baby, so I imagine the parents are having a tough trip themselves. That all said, I am so glad I chose to get the sleeper car on the way back instead of the way out. On the way back I will feel better about breaking out the good camera and being able to put it away in a room.
Still rolling across Texas, hanging out with all the others who are wearing what they slept in.

Georgia Update Daily 1

Flying the red-eye to the east coast is the way to go. The flight out was just under 4 hours, which was nice. The baggage arrived real quick also, since it was so early at the airport. (530 am) Although one arrives tired (especially if the air-waitress keeps bumping one every time she walks by.) After a short nap from 7-am to noon, Katie and I were ready to go.
We went to lunch at a great spanish place called La Fonda Latina in the Little Five Points / Neal Gaimen’s Anansi Boys There is a computer here but only plan to use it to update the blog occasionally. (like now while Katie is napping)

Oh yeah, it’s Spring here. Real Spring! the trees are blooming, birds chirping, wasps flying, all of that shit one from Southern California mostly sees in movies. I will update some pictures later.

Tomorrow is our east coast wedding reception. There is a little stress here hoping it doesn’t rain, but if it does we will make the best of it. My big hope is that another tornado doesn’t strike Atlanta. It wreaked havoc on a lot of different areas. Both the old areas and the skyscrapers. pics to follow. (I know I am saying that a lot, but I don’t have a place to upload them at the moment.)

Played Rock Band for the first time yesterday, Finally! We are definitely getting it once we get our “economic stimulus package” refund. That along with a PS3.

Got to run, meeting my parents (who flew out for the party and to meet Katie’s family) at Vickery’s , the bar/ restaurant that Katie used to work at. This should be interesting. Not that I think it won’t be fun, but it might be overwhelming for one or more of us for various reasons.

Until the next update, keep it classy Interweb

Would you believe just a little stress?

There are so many little things that go with traveling. I know I have everything I need for the trip.

My big dilemma is getting everything nice for two reasons:

  1. I want the place nice for my sister when she comes to fed the cats and the fish.
  2. I want the place to be nice so when we geet home we just have to do the laundry we took on the trip and then can come home and relax.

The cats are going crazy. I think they know we are leaving.
