My Rosetta Stone came yesterday, so I will start trying that. I didn't even *think* about using my iPod for some of this, great idea. Re: music, I love Lila Downs - I have her latest CD. I just need to listen to it when I'm not in the car so I'll be able to read the lyrics while I listen. Would really like some suggestions on other singers I might enjoy. My daughter was making fun of me the other day because I was listening to Lila when I couldn't understand the words, but hey I have French rap music too. :) Rae, Lucille, thanks for the tips!

If you need to practice your Spanish, please tell me! Apart from being a translator, I taught Spanish to foreigners for half a year. Two tips I can give you: 1) Watch movies in Spanish, with English subtitles on. When you are starting, choose children's movies. 2) Listen to Spanish music, and have the lyrics and Spanish translation handy. If you tell me which sort of music and films you like, I could help you pick up some. Well, after years of reading you, maybe now I could be of any help.

(Some versions come with CDs.) The vocabulary book will provide you with the basics in a lot of different areas of conversation. Then you can move onto the grammar, verb books, etc... The books are trade paperback-sized so you'll be able to tuck them into your carry-on. I also use Instant Immersion CDs which I've successfully imported into my computer and onto my iPod so I don't have to lug around the 8 CDs (much cheaper than Rosetta). I have several friends who have used "Rush Hour Spanish" - available on iTunes in the Audiobooks section - to learn the basics through song. They're cheesy songs, but they work! As for bikini bodies, we're on opposite sides of the body-image scale... It took living in Mexico and daily trips to the beach for me to finally start strutting my stuff in a two piece and showing off my belly in all its scarred and non-taut glory. I finally had to give up my self-consciousness in exchange for an even tan. Now I find myself in my own work out frenzy as I prepare to go to the States where I need to be as sexy in a business suit as a bathing suit!
