Hello Gang

[Tanuki]

Okay-I thought it had to be more than that wire stripping discussion.  I am glad to hear things are rolling along for him and his wife.  I am sure she will do well on the 2nd half.  I bet Pig is helping her study.  Such much so that he could probably take the test and pass it as well!  When you talk to him again, please tell him I send my best his way.
KFC-Yes, the plan is for me to meet her there and us fly back together.  At first I thought I might rent a car and drive back, do a little sight seeing.  However, I got to thinking she might have some serious jet lag and might not enjoy the drive back to VA.  So, we'll stick with flying back and see how she does.  If she feels like getting out will do some local sight seeing here.

My girl is here!  Right now she is zonked out - suffering from jet lag and trying to get used to the time difference.  Got in yesterday evening.  By the time we left the airport for home, it was still rush hour.  Instead of waiting in traffic I took an exit and we stopped the pier and had steamed shrimp.  This is one of my favorite places to go.  They have roof top seating and it over looks the Chesapeake bay.  Today, we did a little shopping mixed with a little sight seeing.  Then we came home and I grilled steaks for dinner.  She pretty much burned through her memory card from taking so many photos throughout the day.  It is funny the things she finds interesting to take a photo of.  We can't take five steps some where and she hands me the camera asking me to get a shot of her in front of this or that.  Or, running up grabbing hold of me and trying get a shot of us together in front of various places.  It is great having her here!

Congrats T.

The Jet lag will be gone soon. I best way I found to fight jet lag is at the beginning instead of going to sleep right away, stay awake & go out - the bright sunshine help fight/recover from the jet lag.

Jest get an another memory card, 16GB or 32GB would be ideal - that would give her anywhere between 15K to 20K pics......depending on the MP she use (I would use the higher MP for better quality as you would like  the better quality for memory). 

With all the pics she take make a photobook or Picture CD for her - Shutterfly, Walgreens and some of the other photo places do make them for cheap or free (with code).  Stuff like that would sure come in handy with immigration when it's time to adjust status.

Give her time to rest & adjust but take her to as many places as you can - to explore.
