Talking about a difference in weather, since last night we are in the midst of the biggest snow storm of the year so far and the stress is rising at the same time as the snow level. Today Newark airport cancelled all its flights, and Norman and I are nervous about tomorrow's outcome. Are we going to be able to leave on schedule to Narita, Japan in order to catch our next flight to Saigon on Vietnam Airlines still ran by Continental, so that at the end of the 14 + 3 layover + 6 hours to Vietnam we would arrived on time to sleep the night ( or day?) at the Hotel booked for us because the next morning we have to be picked up at 12:00pm to go on the Boat and start the cruise? So many factors involved to reach that goal!!! and what a long sentence this was sorry friendly readers :-)

My new, amazing camera was already packed away but I wenet to get it to take the first picture of the trip,
