Euro-travelin’ – Geneva
“Ladies and Gentlemen,” the typical pre-flight spiel started as Fiona and I settled into our seats, “welcome to EasyJet. I’d like to inform you that currently the plane is being refueled, so please leave your seat belts unfastened.” At this point the flight attendant has my attention, as he pantomimes unbuckling a seat belt, “in case we need to get out of the plane quickly.” He follows that last statement with a pantomime of jumping out the door. Fiona and I looked at each other, knowing that we were in for a vacation experience of a lifetime.

Flat Stanley Visits The Kingdom of Rhode Island
This past week, Fiona and I got to play host. ‘Flat’ Stanley Lambchop arrived in an envelope to the Kingdom of Rhode Island for a visit. He crawled out of his manila travel pouch, and in his unique, high-pitched, two dimensional voice, introduced himself to us, saying, “I’m Stanley, and I’m here to learn about the cultures and customs
