And We're Off!

It's been a wild couple of days leading up to our departure date, what with mom, dad and Katy S's birthdays and one of the biggest Halloweens I've experienced in recent years all in one week. So I got all packed up and ready to go today. I hope I have everything I need, but I have the feeling that if there is something essential, I'll be able to find it in China (as opposed to when we were in India! - nothing was easy to find there!) I'll try to update as much as possible, but I have no idea how the internet will be and what kind of access we will have. Fingers crossed that it's easily accessible!

Until then...

In Prague!

Alright, so our hotel has free internet, but only one computer which means that there is almost always someone taking it up. I guess technically this is day three in Prague, which is kind of hard to believe...I feel like we've been here longer.

After a long long LONG trip over here, I finally made it at around 2:30pm. I was probably the most tired I have ever been on a trip, mainly because it took three flights to get there. I went from SFO to JFK to London to Prague - Phew! my flight out of JFK sat on the tarmac for 3 hours! It didn't help that I was sitting next to the world's strangest woman ever. She had two HUGE bags with her, one of which was fillled with all sorts fo bag of chips and food. I think she might have been from Jamaica or somewhere similar because it sounded like she was speaking another language, but every once in a while there was English there too. Who knows...

Yesterday we took a walking tour of the city where we saw all the major sights and took a boat ride on the river. Our tour guide was bizarre. He refused to tell us his name, or any other details that might have given us an indication of his actual life. WEIRD! The river boat cruise guide on the othe hand was named Steve, and generally knowledgeable and funny. Good times.

So there's a quick update for you. Off to the Castle and the ghost walking tour today. Until next time!
