TGIF

Kevin caught a cold midweek so we've been taking it easy and plan to go to the Cinema to see Slumdog Millionaire tonight. Gotta rest up for our weekend! We purchased rail tickets yesterday to travel to Manchester on Saturday. We'll get there around noon and plan to stay thru dinner. Then on Sunday we hope to be able to watch the Superbowl - word on the street is that this will be the first year its televised on basic cable. Crossing our fingers that we'll be able to get it...Kevin even mentioned making his wings!!! The game doesn't come on until 11pm our time - so it will be a late one if we are able to watch it. Go Steelers!

We've been doing quite a bit of research on our future travels & we're trying to settle on a destination for my birthday. Originally it was Paris but after looking up transportation for "Valentines Day" weekend the prices more than doubled. In the running - Greece, Italy & London. We're a little surprised with the cost of travel...we have both always heard how cheap it is to jump around place to place, but what we are seeing is a bit more than what we would consider cheap. There are some good deals but they are for the person that is traveling mid-week. We still have to wait for the weekends to do our traveling. We might have to try & save our bigger trips for a weekend that Kevin is able to snag a Monday off from work.

One definite trip will be to Scotland in May for the freggin Whisky Festival!!! WhooopWhoop!!
