It appears that my blogging rate has declined dramatically over the past several months, so I guess I had better try and correct that.  With that in mind I had better fill everyone in on what ever I can think of before it is lost forever.  I have continued traveling since the last update to many many places around.  I returned to London and Paris as well as several places within the US.  My most recent trip took me to San Jose, CA.  It was a quick 2 day trip, but any trip made 2 days before X-mas is always packed with fun.  The airport which I have come to understand over the past year and a half is a really interesting place with various shops and eateries that you can visit during your travels and many times find out a great deal about the city which you now occupy.  However, starting 1 week before x-mas and lasting until 1 week after new years the airport is transformed in the 4th level of hell!!!  There are on average (I am assuming all numbers as I do not have the correct calculations on hand) 1 trillion people in every airport that are now occupying every shop, restaurant, and solid surface upon which on could sit inside of every airport.  These people are not the same as you would find during the rest of the year, they have no knowledge of air travel, and there is no common courtesy for there fellow travellers.  They are loud, slow, and often block off entire areas with there ability to fan out across a hallway and refuse to pay attention to anyone or anything trying to move past.  I do miss the airport which I have come to know and respect and I hope that when I return in the new year it will be there waiting.

 Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year!!!!
