Spike and I are now in Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina
I helped out the economy today by shopping at Target and Costco.
Here is Spike in our living room at our furnished apartment.


Spike's First Flight
It started off fine - he went cargo and was on a sedative. We hit really bad turbulence over Raleigh. It was so bad that the whole plane clapped once we landed. I was a mess since my baby was in cargo.

Judy stopped by to say good bye to Spike. He just loves her, probably since she used to stick up for him during our morning walks. Thanks for the wine, it was needed after the turbulent flight.

Stopped by my highschool to see my german teacher. He gave me itinerary advice for last years trip. I promised that I would show him my pictures - nothing like waiting until the 11th hour.
