It’s Friday!

TGIFF!!  One more week and we will be sitting in the flying cattle car.  I still have not pack my clothes or anything  that I want to bring along.  What are in the luggages now?  They are all stuff that I have bought for my family and friends.  It looks a lot.  I am hoping those two luggages of mine will not exceed 100 pounds.  Each bag should not weigh more than 50 pounds for international trans pacific flight.  I’m sure that is only for NWA guidelines.  I remember it used to be 70 pounds.  However, if I’m flying to Hong Kong, Phillippines, per luggage weight is 70 pounds.  Go figure.

Today at work I managed to speak to this girl from England who is here for the week, working with the HRIS group on some project.  Her manager resides in Minnesota, so she gets to come to the Minnesota offfice three times a year, or more.  It is actually nice to hear a different accent, British accent, instead of the American accent in my area.  Her pronounciation of certain words reminds me of how I pronounced them before I got Americanized.  See even the spelling I’m using the American spelling.  Anyways, this girl has not travelled overseas before and since working for the company, she has travelled to France, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, Italy,  and the US.  The best about the US is shopping because of the forex.  Yeah, it will be great, too, for DB and I, but the dollar has now dropped more than I expected.  Oh well, that’s the say she’s be.
