So I have been busy and not blogged lately. I am on the internet just about ’round the clock (which I am SURE my boss appreciates) but it’s usually just to see if someone has posted a thread at Lonely Planet called “ELAINE AND GENE, HERE IS WHERE YOU NEED TO GO!” Wednesday-ish I booked…

a tip, from me to you…
arranging international travel is a HUUUUUGE pain in the ass. I had no idea. Here is some dodgy math: A flight from Cheesecake City to Germany is $800-ish, round trip. A flight from Germany to Kuala Lumpur is $1500-ish, round trip. To make both flights one itinerary = $7500. Does someone clean my house if…
OMGOMGOMG
Gene’s travel authorization has finally been approved. I think we’re really going!!! OMGOMGOMGOMG. Now onto important matters: Okay, so I suck about taking pictures. In all of the world, there is exactly one picture from our honeymoon to Disney World and it was taken with a disposable camera. That I can no longer find. Actually,…
BOOOOOM…
Did you hear that? I think I just blew my own mind. (Yes, I’m stil spinning my wheels looking at all the cool options for stuff we can do in Malaysia. It turns out that the 7 hour train between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore isn’t the only option…airplanes go there too! And it would cost…
Asian Tour ’08
OMG. So I’m in the early stages of planning our Theoretical Trip to Malaysia (well, theoretical for me, probable for Gene). We’ll be there for basically two full weeks – including a weekend (!!!!) so I personally and Gene in some ways will have time to burn. In a whole other country. Wowsers. Anyway, so…
Hmmm, soooo….
I think I’m going to Malaysia with Gene in November. No, just for two weeks. This seems to be more likely to actually HAPPEN than a year or two ago when Gene dangled a work trip to London in front of me. (At the very least Gene is definitely going). We are still waiting for…
Vacation Envy
WAH. Everybody is on vacation and I’m not. Or else they’re TALKING about the vacation they have booked. I want a real vacation, where we pack up and go somewhere and DON’T spend it with either of our families. (Sorry, Mom. I love you but there are no drinks of the day in Indianapolis). (And…
Things I can do, things I cannot…
Well, I still can’t successfully send a text message (tried while sitting in the Philadelphia airport). I can’t do higher math. Ovulation is sometimes iffy (and here you thought I wouldn’t bring THAT up again…) But I can successfully wheedle my way into getting the fuck on home. I’m going to post the play by…
Stormy Weather…
and here’s where the weekend in NJ w/ Gene has gone to hell. It is raining officially like a motherfucker in Philly and my flight has been delayed until 4:20. (Here’s hoping the pilot isn’t a stoner). So now I’m stuck in PA and I haven’t even begun my exciting day of flight yet. I…
Back at the bait shop…
(a/k/a The Cheesecake City International Airport)… I’m off to spend the weekend w/ Gene. Yippee! My flight starts to board in about an hour so I’m just relaxing at a different gate and marvelling over how annoying Safari is right now (why, oh WHY won’t you load FaceBook??). I enjoyed a super delicious late lunch…
