USA

I woke up reasonably early and helped Traffton with the kids and breakfast before getting the kids off to school. We then went to Traftons office to wait for pinky to arrive. Pinky called when she was nearly in town and we arranged to meet at a nearby restraunt for lunch.We made plans for a party the following weekend at Davis and Kitt's place in Springfield. Pinky and I then drove back to Springfield to start my week. I managed to get around and see everyone from the Honduras trip except Tommy (sorry) dude. The days were spent enjoying the local sights and a visit to Branson.

Bling or what?

All to soon the weekend rolled around and the party went off well a good time was had by all.

Patty and I stayed the night at Pinkys place as we were all going up to the Lake of the Ozarks the next morning.
We left early and arrived mid morning had some morning tea then picked up Robbert and headed for the dock.

The rest of the day was spent cruising around the lake relaxing then dinner at Pattie and Robberts house. I left late for the drive to Kansass City and stayed in a motel near the airport in order to get my early morning flight back to LA. The flight back to LA was pretty uneventfull but the checkin at LAX for my flight back to Australia was a different story. What caos LAX has to be the worst airport in the world to Depart from I dont know how it functions properly at all. I met up with another group of Ausies
and we had a couple of beers together and discussed the peculiarities of the US before the flight.
