I made it down to Kansas and back up without any problems on the road.
A nice break from work and work/class-related travel, which has been the bulk of my vacation hours this year. My time management skills are very useful when trying to spend a limited amount of time with Mom, Dad, Family and Friends. Unfortunately, I still didn't get to spend as much time as I wanted with all of those people.
New Years in Lawrence was fun (Thanks Nenie and Nena for opening your house and making sure the Jayhawks won! That was a particularly nice touch for you guys to pull off.)
I made it back safe and sound (and my apartment is even cooler than the sauna that I left it)
In addition to seeing people (the most important part of the holiday season), I managed to avoid most of the hyper-commercialization and (most, not all, but most) bad holiday traffic. So I count this as a successful holiday.
Posted by silsby at January 3, 2005 08:15 AMGlad you made it back OK. Good thing you got started back; have had drizzle hovering near freezing since yesterday. Promises to only get worse the next couple of days!:(
Really appreciate you making quality time for us. Good Luck on your new assignment; know you will do well. Love you, PaPa&RoRo
