OK Folks time for a new update on what is happening at Club Josh!

I know it appears that the site is languishing (more than usual), but I have been making progress.

The Gorn Page Galleries has been rebuilt from the ground up with a new version of Gallery on the new server. It was a major upgrade and it did not want to automatically convert from the earlier version. I just need to copy and past all of the old photo descriptions and that is done. There will be more photos than ever before when the site relaunches.

The difficulties with the Gallery conversions have sort of forced me to reconsider what I will relaunch with the new site. Anything that had a photo gallery will be an issue on the new server, but I am hoping I can just retain the older versions of Gallery for the Disney theme park galleries.

Most of the current site will go over easily, but the new design and style of the three blogs on the site will take some more work. I have no idea when TextDrive is going to boot me off of the old server as I am about 6 months past when I was supposed to be off. So apologies if you come to the site one day and it is down.

The worst part is that I have neglected to document some things that have been going on in the last 6 months. I wish I had written down some thoughts on the deaths of a few people as well as some great weekend getaways we have done. Thankfully Twitter and Instagram have been my outlet and I hope to go back and re-publish some of that in the Daily Update to freshen it up.

More soon!

Over a month later, and they still haven't given me the login for my new account. I expect it some time soon as they just started emailing them out to users on 11-29.

Instead of an early November roll out, now it looks like a mid December roll out to the new site.

Sorry for the delays, but hopefully 2013 will be much more productive!

More soon!

We woke up on the last day of our trip and got our stuff packed. We enjoyed our last bit of wonderful Cinnamon and bagels and tried to finish the rest of our supplies before hitting the road. I knew we were going to have to toss the spread since it was not allowed through the TSA checkpoint. We briefly considered mailing the stuff back home, but in the end level headed non-cinnamon based thought returned. We packed up the car and headed south, anxiously awaiting to see how long the wait would be at the border. After consulting the overhead signs, we made a b-line for one of the adjacent border crossing, a move saving us 30 minutes or so.

From then, it was smooth sailing back to Seattle with a quick stop in Bellingham for gas. I was pretty excited that for our entire 3 days I did not have to get gas in Canada and pay the high prices. Part of the credit goes to the Chevy Cruze, which despite the fact I cannot stand how it looks or rides, it gets great gas mileage.

Jonathan decided to get dropped off back at the Courtyard by Marriott so he could use the wifi and see if he could meet up with some of his friends. Daniel and I headed down towards the airport so we could grab a quick bite to eat before we turned the car back in. How good is the Cruze gas mileage? I did not have to top it off before turning it back in to the rental car agency!! We had about an hour to kill in the airport before our flight, so we relaxed and looked forward to our flight home. The flight itself was pretty smooth, although since we were on the wrong side of the plane and not at a window, I didn't get any good photos out the windows. From there, it was a short ride back to the apartment and we were finally home from the trip. Time for dinner and time to think about where we will be go next.
