Final Update: Mediterranean Cruise

I am back on U.S. soil and trying to recover from jet lag, lack of sleep and the 8 hour time difference. On the day I traveled back to the U.S., I was up 1 hour shy of a full 24 hours. Although the "recovery" going both to and from Europe is difficult, it is still well worth it. I know that for me I need a full 48 hours to feel like myself again so I try to plan accordingly.

Announcing the Blog Contest Winners: Hunter & Summer!!
Thanks to Hunter & Summer for entering the contest! Your entries were original, truthful and humorous! For your prizes, you will be treated to your favorite meal at the Mexican restaurants mentioned in your entries. (See 'Blog Contest' post below with the associated Comments to view the contest rules and participants.)

Keep checking back for pictures I will add once I get back to Dallas (I'm on U.S. soil but haven't made it back to my house yet.). I will not have a chance to download them until I get home.

For each trip I take, I plan to add a countdown timer then update this blog on a daily basis while on the trip (if possible) so tune in periodically so you won't miss anything! And speaking of my next trip, I am already planning it. I have been doing a lot of internet research and looking at my 2008-2009 calendar. If anyone wants to go with me, send an e-mail or leave a comment. The sky is the limit!
