48 hours

Disappeared because I went 36 hours without an internet connection, so feeling way out of the loop. The connection here is rather dicey and I'm in a simply horrible hotel room so no posting this morning either. Getting out of here as soon as I can. Connection here is so slow anyway, I'm hoping this posts before it times out. And the saddest news is my GPS just up and died yesterday. We've been together so long I named her. RIP Mary Mary.

Been a tough 48 hours. Can't wait to get home. Hoping to be able to do a bit of catch up and post tonight.
