Whew! Yes, it's a lot to cram into three weeks, but there is so much to see!

Not taking a laptop this trip, and the Blackberry just doesn't work for blog entries. I've got a Bluetooth keyboard for the Blackberry, but am not certain how well it works. When out of reach of a computer, I may have to resort to old fashioned pen and paper. YIKES! We'll keep you posted as time allows.
