Subject: Tina's journey--updated

Hi there,

Just try to get you some updated info about my trip, and there you go:

i'm leaving for chicago tonight (2/24 mon) and plan to stay there for around a week. after that i may take a train to the west through the south like new orleans perhaps. i'm still not sure yet but my friends said it's the best route to go than other 3 lines (north, central--salt lake, and down central--kensus). if i don't go from new orleans, i may take the one through kensus. gotta consult more people about it. anyways, i guess i might arrive LA or SF around Mar 5th. so far i don't have any firends to stay with in the west, so i think i might go and find a hostel in those cities where i'll stop by for few days--LA, SF, and Seatle. fortunately i didn't spend too much so far as i have free accommendation which indeed saves me a lot of money. the only day i have to stay in a hotel was last weekend we went to niagara falls, but we shared a room by 3 so it's not much, but i lost $20 in casino jackpot!:( it's fun though, and i played for nearly 1 hr so it's not too bad. next time i'm gonna try blackjack in las vegas if i have chance to go there.:)

as for the falls, it's really a fabulous masterpiece of God. it was snowing heavily when i walked to the falls, but i feel it's a rare and unforgetable experience to walk in the snow and get to see the falls flowing down in the snow through iced rocks and river. i'd still choose to come by in the winter time to try the different niagara expeience if i have only one chance to see them.

alright, gotta go check out the baby. it's time to change the diaper. talk to you later.:)
