Happy New Year from Varkala, India!!

Just thought I would do a quick post to say happy new year to everyone. We've been pretty busy travelling from place to place, so no posts. Probably this will be the only one until we get back -- and look forward to lots of pictures then! We've moved on to memory card #2 and may need a #3. We'll see...

For anyone who is curious about the where and what of Varkala, take a look here - http://www.varkalaonline.com/.

Hope you all had a good one! Happy 2007!!

Guest blog posting by my husband...

This Is Sparta!


Claude here. Some friends and I were watching the new theatrical trailer for 300, and we were remarking on what a cool line Leonidas has: "This is Sparta!" (and Gerard Butler's delivery just nails it!)


You can substitute pretty much anything in there and make it sound cool:


OK, almost anything:


Tell it like it is, Leonidas!

Coke - doesn't really need the cocaine...

If you're drinking a Coke, about to drink a Coke or thinking about drinking a Coke (I bet you are now!), then you've gotta read this. Wow.

So long, and thanks for all the fish...

Ok, so we're not gone yet, but in 1 week and 4 days we're on our way to India. Yay!! We've been really busy getting things together, cleaning the renovation tools from our place so our housesitters will be comfortable, taking care of vaccinations, etc. It's so close... Wheeee!

On the home front, we have joined the masses of Mac users - and I have to say I'm glad to be back. I used to use a Mac in the early 90's but when I moved out of my parent's place I said good-bye to the Mac. :-( I've spent the last couple of days getting re-aquainted and now my husband calls me a Machead. lol

Anyway, just wanted to say hi. I'll be back briefly before we head out, but just wanted to let you know that there won't be many posts during the xmas holidays.
