I had not ridden in an airplane since June of 2001.  That was of course before 9/11 as well as the airline meltdown and TSA.  I was expecting an unpleasant experience and my expectations we more than met.  I have spent some addtional money to try to make the return trip more pleasant, extra legroom, an aisle seat and checking a second bag.  Perhaps that will help.

My ride arrived

We talked so much on the trip to SA I didn't get to try out an on the go entry.

Now trying out Blogsy.

There seem to be a lot more features on this one. If they both work pretty easily I may have to switch back and forth for a while. Another picture?

Okay, that was a little more difficult. I had to get out of Blogsy, take the picture with the iPad camera, then go back to select the picture in Blogsy. It let me use the original rectangular format however. That suggests that I could edit a picture in the camera roll, say crop it to be really wide, and use it that way rather than everything square.
My ride to San Antonio arrives in about an hour or so, guess I better finish getting ready.


Okay, something weird happened.  When I posted this Blogsy entry, it went in with a date of 5/19/12. Don't know why and don't know how to fix it.  If you see this post with the proper date then I learned how to fix it.

Yep, fixed it but don't know why it happened.  When my ride arrives, I'll take a picture and then try creating and posting an entry as we drive to SA.

Trying out BlogPress

Bear with me while I experiment with a couple of iPad apps for blogging. This one is BlogPress and this is my first attempt with it. Can I add a photo?




It appears I can but it seems to be limited to a square format. Now to publish.

Explanation

For years, along with many other friends, I have travelled in Mexico with Stanley or Dr. B as we know him.  There are just too many bad things happening in Mexico now so we have been looking for alternative places to travel.  For a couple of summers there were trips to the US Southwest and perhaps there will be more of those in the future.  This winter however we are doing something that seems so natural I don't know why it took so long to come up.  Many years ago, in the early 50's, Stanley and his wife did missionary work in Puerto Rico.  They were there long enough for two sons to be born.  Now he is leading a group of friends back for a visit.  We will see many of the sights of Puerto Rico and visit the small town where he lived 60 years ago as well.  I'm starting this blog on my computer and will keep it up that way when I can but hope to use my iPad as well to do a little on-the-spot reporting.  The iPad app is new to me so not sure how easy it will be to use.
