Don’t get me wrong �?? we’ve had a blast over here. We have been to New York, Miami, Key West, Disney World in Orlando, checked out the casinos in Las Vegas and been driving through the Mojave desert down to the hills of Los Angeles and Hollywood.

With the weak dollar and all, we’ve been living like king and queen. I bought my new laptop here for two thirds of the price back home. We’ve stayed at more or less fancy hotels all the time, eaten out and bought tons of clothes (and a big new bag to get everything home).

But right now we just want to get home. On our way home to Sweden from Las Vegas, we had to take a connecting flight here in Newark, but midair we got information that all airports around New York were closed due to bad weather and we had to land in Baltimore instead. From there they put in busses to Newark, but of course our connecting flight to Stockholm had already left when we finally got here (and there are no more flights until tomorrow with our airline).

So the first night in Newark we spent at the airport (which totally messed up my sense of time). This night we managed to get a hotel, but now I can’t sleep. So here I sit. In a few hours though, we’ll be off to Europe. Sweet!

Then I would say: Well, take a look at the About me page and check out the hunk in the photo. That was snapped with my brand new Canon. Then it choked and died. A camera knows when the perfect shot’s been taken. It knows when it’s no longer needed.

… to which you would reply: That is so true.

Btw … today I received my copy of Stephen Colbert’s fine book I Am America (And So Can You!). I’m so excited! Expect a book review in a day or two. Or maybe a couple of weeks.

Sweet dreams and good night!
