It’s spring break time again. I’m off until Monday, April 17. I’m so glad I have a week off. This year is killing me. I can’t wait for it to be over. This might be a time I catch up on my blogging. I know I haven’t been a regular blogger lately. I really need to get back to recording what’s going on in my life.

Over spring break the boyfriend and I are going to New Orleans. His family is from that area and had damage to their house from Katrina. They have since renovated and are all doing well. We will be visiting them from Tuesday to Saturday. I’m sure I’ll be seeing some very disturbing damage from Katrina. I plan to take my camera of course and the video camera to capture all the things I see. I’ll share them next week. I am taking the laptop so that I can write while I’m there. However, there won’t be any blog updates since internet access is still very spotty there.

The scary part for me is getting on a plane. I haven’t been on a plane since 1999. My grandmother died in 1999 and I had to fly to Indiana for her funeral. The flight there wasn’t too bad but the flight back was scary as hell. The turbulence was almost unbearable. I vowed then that I wouldn’t get back on a plane. But now that we are going to New Orleans, I have to break that vow and get back on a plane. I just hope there isn’t any turbulence. I also hope the other people on board don’t mind me holding onto my boyfriend during the entire flight. Friends have suggested drugs or drinks to calm me down but I don’t think I’ll do either. I’m just going to do my best to stand it and hope nothing happens.
