Hi friends…
    I’m writing from Newark airport on my way to Singapore. I left home about 2:pm today (Sunday) and will get to my destination at about 7AM Tuesday morning (Singapore time) ..It’s a lonnnnnng trip.. including a  1 hour trip down (met some nice guys from a high tech company in Montreal.. .. Got some good views of NYC<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n

Then a 7 hour layover here.. then a 19 hour (OK.. I exaggerate.. an 18 hour 45 minute) non-stop flight .Singapore is 13 hours ahead of the East Coast. (It’s tomorrow there already. I wonder if I’m already there ? ) <\/p>\n

It’s about 7PM here.. my flight leaves at 11. I’ve found a great empty spot with a view of the airport.. I’m sitting at the end of one of the waiting areas for the AirTrain tram that travels between terminals. I’ve found that places like this are always the emptiest, cleanest and quietest.. it’s my little travel secret.. don’t tell anyone. <\/p>\n

I just had a kinda lonely dinner at one of the food courts.
   <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The aloneness of travel is immediately with me when I leave home now. I’m starting to wonder if I still enjoy travel as much as I once did. I still  love seeing the world, meeting new folks.. eating weird stuff.. but I really don’t like being away from home much.  Trips like this make for lots of alone time.. which can be good thinking (or not thinking) time..  Hopefully this will be fun, interesting and useful.. I’m going to do my best to make it so.<\/p>\n

Last night was a good anti-loneliness vaccination.. We went up to Deb’s and had dinner with them. The boys didn’t arrive until some time later so I got to hang out with all those women.. It was very cool and different. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

  Hannah and Garret were on the computer which cas a pretty cool glow. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

We hung out there and watched a funny\/dumb movie then came back.. Gabe stayed up there so I said goodbye to him for the week up there..Saying goodbye is hard for me..<\/p>\n

I spent most of this morning trying to pack my suitcase, backpack and laptop as lightly as possible. .I;m goin to 88 degrees and rain.. quite a difference from our bright snowy weather today.. Diane made this cute snow person in honor of the good packing snow. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Well, I gotta conserve batteries.  So I better sign off here. I’m going to be in the air pretty much all day tomorrow .. so I won’t post my blog for the tomorrow until Tuesday..  I’ll be thinking of many of you as I cross some big oceans tonight.. I’ll be thinking of you all.. Sam, you’re coming with me. Love you all
-me<\/p>\n

ps. Hannah just sent me this great picture of last Monday’s trip to Jay Peak. I really love tis picture. What beautiful kids !!!!!!<\/div>\n
