Vacation Update #5,394
Tonite was a nice discussion with Chris. We are starting the final phases of the planning.
Tours:
1/2 a day tour of Jerusalem 1 day tour of the South (Dead Sea, Masada, En Gedi etc) 1 day tour of the North Coast - Acre, Haifa, Crusader and Roman Ruins - Caesarea, and Mt Carmal. The Gardens up to the Lebanese border.
We are also making a list of places that we both WANT to see...even if it is covered in a tour so that we will be able to set up some objectives. Like I know I want to spend alot of time in the Israeli Museum and I want to see the Kenesset.
So if anyone has ideas or suggestions let me know!
A Good day!
Yes, today is EXTREMELY busy, but in between everything I messaged some of the schedulers at UoP since I only have 1 class pending and 6 classes going on now (and two are ending this week). Within about 10 min I got a message stating that I could have two more classes beginning on 8/25! YAY!!!! NICE this means that on 9/10 while in Israel I will have even more cash available!
Generation Kill
Tonite is the 4th episode of Generation Kill, and I haven't really mentioned it at all because I don't really find it that gripping. I can state it is NOT a series with the quality of Band of Brothers!
Given some of the blogs I read, there have been some strong criticism of some of the deviation from what happened there. I guess this is one of the problems one is going to have covering something that is just barely becoming history!
This is probably a series I will own, but I wont go out and buy it the day after its released like Band of brothers.
ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!!!
YEAH BABY!!!! It is the best time of year....the time for FOOTBALL..and no..not that wussy Euro-weenie Scandi loving sport...but good oldfashioned American FOOTBALL. I just caught part of the Washington Redskins play and it was great seeing it on TV again..and next week is Dallas's start!! GO BOYS!!! Go KICK SOME ASS!!!
Time for Hippie Music
Over at the Innocent Bystanders...Michael started...umm..corrupting the blog there with a tribute to Hippie music! While I am shocked that the Marines over there didn't take issue...some of the music selections and the artists are getting a bit of a beating in the comments...like the Mary from Peter Paul and Mary LOL...and the firsst comment of the thread cracked me up..from MCPO Airdale when he said, "Commie rats can squeak in harmony - Who knew?"
Check out the link and below is some Hippie music!
