Hi Omegaet. I can't seem to open it or see the message? Thanks.

....my blackberry notified me of the following information, while I was starting to compose this post:

Reservation Changes Due To Aircraft Inspections

We sincerely regret the inconvenience created by the cancellation of a portion of American Airlines' flights which started on April 8. Additional inspections of our MD-80 fleet are being conducted to ensure precise and complete compliance with the FAA's directive related to wiring in the aircraft's wheel wells. Please be assured that safety of our customers is, and always will be, American's first priority.

OK,omegaet, what is the difference between this blog and your VIP blog? Is there something different you can do here than you cannot do in the VIP blog? I am sorry to be missing the difference between the two blogs. Can you clarify?

btw - The Fragmented Traveler? Help?

t-2-fwe received an invitation to write a personal travel blog. So this is the start with no specific destination in mind. Whenwe write for the VIP travel blog, we concentrate (not always successfully) on a travel experience motivated by an auction purchase from LL. At times in the past,we have strayed from that path.

Here, in Fragmented,we arelikely towander hither and yon (hence, Fragmented).not much else to add tothe purpose or direction. It will either develop into something or will eventually wither and die.

omegaet, thank you for responding and explaining how you see the differences in the blogs.

btw It must have been interesting for you to see the QE2, especially since you had been aboard and knowing she was leaving on her final voyage (at least for the last time from her Winter home for so many years). I saw a report on TV and I guess there will be other coverage as she makes her way to Dubai.

travel2fun makes a good point. This blog is for users to communicate with Omegaet - and for Omegaet to share his travel thoughts and insighs with the world - the dialogue should typically be between users and Omegaet.

As lhbrown poitns out - we are offering blogs to our VIPs so I encourage you to take us up on the offer rather than do Omegaet's jopb for him in his blog.

Cheers - jono

Thanks jono and travel2fun for setting me straight on the protocol/rules for answering personal bogs. I have no problem abiding by them now that I know what they are. I will gladly leave the job to Omegaet or anybody else.

....moved to Cusco revised.

-O-, this is a cute touch! I didn't know the The Leningrad Cowboys even existed, much less had I heard them perform. Nice to see "fragmentation" can be musically entertaining as well.

O - please say "Hi" to the Monasterio Hotel for me - I am so jealous! One of my all-time favorite hotels! What is your purpose for returning to Cusco?

Hi O,
I too often take shots of food. It is a practice I have picked up at cooking school. It helps to remember when reproducing a dish and certainly, it helps with presentation of a dish. It also helps remembering some of the food we had on a trip. It brings back memories.... among other shots.... and with digital photography the cost is zero, so why not....

-O-, are you going to explain more regarding this Alabama reference or is this just one of your fragmented postings?

t-2-f....that's a slight organizational issue on my part.....will attempt to address that within the next couple of days.

....I don't have any idea......the SUV was turned upside down and not a soul nor an emergency vehicle was within a block of it!

Maybe it's just theflights I am using, but there seem to be fewer and fewer passengers on board these days.....most of my business trips are in coach and it's nice to find the middle seat open more often.

We're still holding back a few reserve leisure travel dollars in expectations of LuxuryLink developing even more interesting travel packages and possibly at even lower prices as the years wears on.

....just hate the drive to the airport, especially on those mornings when tanker trucks loaded with toxic chemicals roll over and block all north bound lanes.....might as well roll down the window and get a telephoto shot of the plane taking off into the sunrise...probably my flight leaving on time.....guess I'll head for the Crown Room....find the WiFi and surf LL for some new travel deals....

...enough time in airplane seats and airports for me this week. I'm waiting for my car to be delivered and then I'm going home to unpack. Next week is about relaxing and getting ready for South America.....really, really looking forward to spending some quality time with my favorite woman and not thinking about work on anything back in the U.S.

How was South America? Did the Luxury Link luggage tage survive the trip?
