We celebrated New Year’s with the traditional fondue party. It was fun and very tasty. We are all early-to-bed people though. It made for a non-traditional New Year’s. We celebrated Rio de Janeiro’s New Year’s at 9pm, then Nova Scotia’s at 10pm. Then the party broke up. Kids had already gone to bed, and the rest of us were fading fast. Except for Dad and Mom, who are regular night owls.

I was actually still conscious for New Year’s on the east coast, but after that was quickly asleep. Happy 2010!
I fly home tonight. I can’t wait to see what kind of zany adventures I’ll have going through increased security. Or what kind of wacky fun I’ll have going through O’Hare airport. It’s my favorite!
Hooray for not having to stay up late! While I feel badly for your parents, I was zonked by 8:00.
Beth and Harold always put out such a nice spread – hooray for fondue!
Don’t die on the way home, ok?
Just be sure to leave your syringes with LLoyd and Lauren.
WHAT?! (Should we be worried about our Brad or something?!)
If we have to take our shoes off because of the shoe bomber, will we now have to take our underwear off? Let me know. I fly in a couple of weeks, and I want to know if I need to buy new underwear.
HA! ‘Course, you know another way to avoid the inconvenience, don’t you? Let it suffice to say that barefooted passengers probably don’t have to remove their shoes for inspection…
Happy New Year all!! And I really like the yearly fondue theme alot…except for the cheese part.
Enjoy your flights! I’m sure no terrorists will try another stunt for a while now…but just in case…try to sit next to an Air Marshall.
Oh, I can’t wait to read tomorrow’s posting! Doubtless there will be all sorts of “tales of terror” to jaw about: fighting with the TSA reps in multiple airports, aggravating passengers strategically placed right next to you on every flight, and a few pieces of lost luggage just to top things off. Makes me want to buy a cheap Southwest ticket to anywhere just for the experience…
