please write a book! i would definately buy it. I am so jealous of your experience and of your fantastic creativity to think of doing this blog. hey…you could write a book…and then a film would be made out of it..and before you know it…you’ll be a millionaire! Who would play you? perhaps Shania Twain to keep the country theme going…or Alison Krauss with a brunette dye! fantastic effort Amy – loved it…and sorry the itinerary has been interrupted for such sad reasons. x
Thanks so much, Ger, I really appreciate it and am glad you’ve enjoyed reading the blog! Working on the screenplay now… 🙂
We are very proud of you! We are having lots of fun in London and everyone here misses you and sends you lots of love! FYI if you want I can tell MAWMAW that you are going to be in VA? Are you going to pass through Roanoke on 81? Let me know! Give me a call soon love yah!
Nick & Alivia (and yes believe it or not this is nick not alivia typing =0)
So glad to see Bill & I are on your itinerary!! We are enjoying reading about your travels…Bill was especially happy to see your mention of Seneca Lake! He went to college at Hobart in Geneva…in fact we will be at Hobart the end of October for a function and will stay at Belhurst Castle. Our favorite winery is Bully Hill. Wines are so so but the labels are awesome as are the people. Definitely a throw back to our Grateful Dead days!! Will look forward to wining & dining you in Charlotte; may make you work a day at Kid to Kid if I don’t get someone hired quickly!! Be safe.
Thanks Sharon! I can’t wait to see you all and hear how life has been since London. And more than happy to volunteer time at Kid to Kid! Will let you know when I have that part of the trip timed out.
So proud you stopped in the drug store this morning!! It was our pleasure to meet you and we wish you all the best! Have a wonderful and safe journey!
Thank you so much – it was great to meet you both and congratulations on the opening of your lovely pharmacy!
Tamara, my dear, isn’t flying to NYC for your wedding friends weekend good enough? 🙂 I do want to visit you in Shanghai and will if you’re there a few years!
Helen – yes – Nashville!!!
You know once you hit the west coast you might as well jump on a plane to Shanghai!
Wow, thats alot of places to pack in, I’m jealous!!!!
And I really hope we cross paths along the way!!
