Winter Update

Hello everyone, its been a while since my last post! Let's start with a quick update on where I've been since I last posted. I had another runaway weekend to Chicago, with my first chance to meet Dominique's family. We had a great time over Labor Day with all the corresponding celebrations along Navy Pier and Lake Michigan. To commemorate the occasion, I thought I'd put together a compilation of all my Chicago trips in a Flickr Photoset. I'm not done, but it's a great start.

Later in September I headed off to Little Rock, AR with family for the celebration of my Brother's Wedding. It was my first time there, and we even had a chance to catch a Dave Matthews Band concert. Of note there: William Clinton's Presidential Museum, and an unexpected pleasant surprise with their street car system downtown. Their community seems to have a lot in common with Omaha, setting aside the usual North-South differences...

Finally, the big one! In just a few short weeks, Dominique and I are off to South America! Our destinations: Panama and Colombia. The main cities on the itinerary are Panama City, Bogotá and Cartagena. Here's to a Feliz Navidad and Próspero Año Nuevo in Colombia! Watch for my updates to come throughout our travel on this trip.
