Hey all. The weary and wary wanderer has returned. I am absolutely exhausted after a couple days of tortuous travel. We left Turkey very early Sunday morning (would have been Saturday evening here in the states), but our flight was delayed and we missed our connecting flights in New York. I didn't get home until yesterday afternoon, so I am a bit worn out. I promise to post tons of stories and pictures very soon, but I am taking a day of rest (and laundry). Hope you're all doing well and I'll be back on soon.

La-La
Ari says:
I have a very small window of time here, so I'll be brief. I haven't forgotten about you all, but have had a tough time getting to a computer that I can monopolize for more than 3 minutes at a time. The trip has been amazing. I've been in 5 countries and on 4 continents in the past 2 weeks. We are finishing up the trip in Israel and it has been incredible so far. I miss each and every one of you and can't wait to talk to you all and catch up with what all is going on in your lives. Love you tons! And for now, here's a pic (if I can make it work). Talk to you all soon!
PS- "La la" is how you say "no, no" in Arabic. Learned that in Egypt.

Off I Go...
Ari says:
It's almost time!!! My first overseas trip is about to begin. I leave tomorrow morning (at the BC-o-D) for New York to meet up with Mom and Bill. Tuesday afternoon we'll be boarding a flight for Turkey and that's where it all begins. For the next 2 weeks I will be gallivanting all over the Middle East and I am way excited about the entire excursion. We will only be in Turkey for a short time, and the rest of our trip will be centered in Egypt and Israel. All this to say, I won't be blogging for a while. Now, I do promise that upon my return, there will be pictures of the new house as well as a well documented entry on my entire trip. I wish you all well these next couple weeks and will give you a homework assignment while I'm gone: Start your Christmas shopping! I say this only because I haven't had a chance to do that yet and it's making me very nervous. At least if someone has started it will give me a good push when I get back to get my butt into gear. So for now I say, TTFN and I'll talk to you all when I get back.
PS-I promise to post updates if I find an internet café.

Nick-nacks and Paddy-whacks

Just a brief note to let you all know that we are in our new house! It is all very exciting, but we have a ton of stuff left to do. Mostly finding places for all the little pictures, candles and basically junk that I have sitting around everywhere. The house is just darling and coming along nicely. Soon and very soon ("we are going to see the King") we will be primed and ready for visitors, so dust off those suitcases and get ready for a trip to the Big Easy. We are in an amazing neighborhood. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming; they've all been trying to feed us and help out with anything we need, so it's nice to know we're in an actual community. On a completely different note, the little kitten that we had been taking care of (the one that ran off while we were in Texas) came back around on Tuesday night, which just happened to be the first night that Nashville was supposed to get below freezing. Well, the little miss was crying outside the door and I just didn't have the heart to leave her out there. So, I brought her in, stuck her in the bathroom and have now moved her with us to New Orleans. All that to say, we have a new kitten and her name is PJ (short for Princess Junior). She is absolutely precious and I will post more pictures of her soon. She is going in next week for a de-claw and spay, and then she'll be ready to join our little family, instead of being cooped up in a bedroom all the time. Let's see, what else am I forgetting? There's so much going on and so much to do, I'm sure I'm leaving something out. I will certainly get pics of the house up soon so you can all see where we are and I'll give a full report of the move and the house. As for now, just wanted you to all know that we're here and ready for guests.
