I’m sitting in Newark airport right now waiting for my connecting flight to Detroit.  Happily, I’m through all the security I points now.  Apparently today is my lucky day because I’ve been stopped and patted down so many times today I’ve lost count.  I think I’ve been through a security point 3 or 4 times today, and each time I’ve been picked out of the crowd, and paid some extra special attention.  Gotta love it when they say, “Please taste the water from your bottle.”  Seriously?  I bought it AFTER the first security point, after I got a full pat down, yet I still needed to drink it in the presence of an agent to prove it wasn’t some clear explosive liquid.

My flight to Detroit is FULL and they are offering $200.00 in travel vouchers if you will offer to get bumped to a later flight.  I can tell you one thing for sure… I’m not offering.  I can’t get out of here fast enough!

I miss home….

We have spent the last few days in Bath, England and the Royal Crescent Hotel.  Apparently the weather in Bath is a bit nicer than in London.  No rain here… a nice switch from the everyday rain in London.  I love rain, but walking around it in everyday can be a bit much.

Anyway, the best part of Bath is probably the Roman Baths.  It really is a fantastic sight, and it gets more amazing the more you think about it.  I took a ton of photos, 99% of which were taken in RAW format, and I don’t have the software to convert them to something I can share on this machine.  So, for the vast majority of photos, you’ll be waiting until I get home.

We are leaving Bath today and moving on to Thornbury Castle for the night.  Then from there onto Bristol, where we will depart from on Sunday.

Happy Thursday…
