Mom hasn't heard from Maggiemae yet, but didn't expect to.

Maggiemae's college has a 'May Term' which is a three week time period when students take one course everyday, all day. These courses are typically more informal/fun courses, trips around the US or overseas, or internships. The college requires students to either take a course on campus or travel abroad to fulfill a global awareness component. I (when I attended the same college) took the class on campus, and regreted that I didn't take advantage of the opportunity to travel. So I suggested to Maggiemae when she enrolled, to travel if she found a trip that interested her. So for once she listened to her wiser older sister.

I will have Mom email me a schedule of Maggie's agenda, so I can share with you all. She told me she had to write a paper and chose St. Patrick as her topic. When she received her agenda she was excited to see that they are spending four days on St. Patrick and is not at all worried about her paper.

News from Maggiemae...

She left a message on Mom's machine. She has been in Ireland for three days and she has used up three rolls of film, which means she will run out of film before she comes home.

She is loving her trip. She visited Blarney but couldn't kiss the stone. She would have had to bend at a weird angle to kiss it and didn't feel she could do it. All for now, will post more as I know more.

At the Blarney Stone, there is always someone there to hold on to you. Was she just scared? I was too, but not as scared as when I got down there to kiss it, there were these big red lip prints!! How gross!! I have pictures of me and hubby bending over backwards. It is hilarious!!! So glad she's having a good time!!

My brother is getting married, so we will be off to wonderland for a couple of weeks. I've been trying to convince my hubby that it will be alright to make a couple side trips to visit tvch members. Anyone interested? I will put my email back on my profile. Babyruth and I are making plans since she is only a couple hours away from our destination in Michigan. Woo Hoo!

I'm getting packed for a weekend trip to Bloomington Indiana! GRADUATION! (Well, I get to walk through the ceremony, but I won't get the PhD until late summer/early fall).

I'll have to drive during survivor, so I hope someone posts spoilers on the board!

Tk and Spy, I am going to try to meander up through Louisiana and Tennessee, but I have to make the itinerary seem as though it's not a planned thing, with the exception of the wedding itself. You see my hubby wants a leisurely unstructured drive to Michigan, so I thought it was a good opportunity to meet some tvch'ers! I'm going down to get a cell phone today, which will make life on the road a lot easier - if I get the instructions clear enough! My email is on my profile now.

Schoolmarm, I wish your trip crossed paths with mine, but I have to be in Dallas on the 18-19th. Have fun.

Urgrace, get one of those emailing phones like Tess and Buttercup had! Those sound like fun.

We've gotten most of our pics back, and I'm still organizing them. These were taken with one of those underwater disposable cameras.
A few pics from our "swimming with/feeding the stingrays and sharks day" in the lagoon of Bora Bora a couple weeks ago:

It was so cool to pet the stingrays. The Tahitians have "trained" them to come and and be petted and they LOVE these men. The rays slide all up and down their chests and "hug" them. We petted several of them-....(the rays, not the men! LOL)-they felt like big wet portobello mushrooms, sort of.
Oh yeah, you gotta keep your eye on the tails and not touch them. (again, that's the rays, not the men-haha)
