I plan on reaching level 55 (possibly one or two levels higher if they keep going as quickly as they have been) with my main. *Maybe* I'll give the dungeon locator a try as I have several mobs I'm supposed to kill in Stratholme. I tried entering solo at level 47-ish. Made it past the first wave of skellies outside the gate, but couldn't manage the first wave inside.
Between questing, visiting elders, and the journey to visit said elders, I dinged level 58 and continue to increase my skill in mining as I journey. Had a wonderful time yesterday with a friend visiting a lot of elders and seeing a lot of zones I'd never visited. I have all but two of the Kalimdor coins. Two that I obtained last night I'm especially proud of - Elder High Mountain in Southern Barrens was across from the back gate to Orgrimmar. I *thought* I was staying far enough away from the Horde guards but in a flash I was dead. Returned and noticed there were some Alliance NPC scouts in the area, so I followed their path and went behind the elder instead of traversing the space between him and the Orgrimmar gate. There was still a Horde guard standing to the immediate left of the elder. I stayed way back behind them as I moved to the right of the elder (if one is looking toward the elder from the Org gate) and was able to get the coin and then get the heck out of Dodge.
I probably spent a good 2 hours trying to find Elder Skygleam in Azshara. The bane of my WoW existence is trying to go over, through, or around mountains to get to mobs, and this was a shining example of that frustration, especially having never been in Azshara. Thank to many posts re: how to find this elder, I finally located him after riding completely around the mountains surrounding a huge gulch and swimming the entire circuit *in* the gulch. I would have no earthly idea how to return there but I count this as my best "Elder achievement" thus far!
Only 2 Elders left in Kalimdor but Runetotem is in Horde territory and since I can't fly yet, not sure I can snag that one. Ditto Moon Warden in the Crossroads. I plan on collecting the coins I don't yet have from the Eastern Kingdoms and then go back to those. Errrr....where is Northrend? Is it a WotLK or Cata expac. (Purchased WotLK via Amazon and should be getting it in the next day or so.)
Per advice from a poster I also got my AH alt up a couple more levels with the goal of getting her to at least level 10.

My father has a new PC and needs some help from me in transferring some files from the old PC to the new one, etc. I will inherit his 22" (I think - anyway BIG) monitor. *Does happy dance*
Done. Father's new PC has Win 7 which I had never seen before, so that was interesting. I need to purchase a new PC soon and had been leaning toward a high-powered gaming laptop so I wouldn't be tethered to one location in the apartment and be able to dispense with all the cords involved with a desktop but after seeing his new PC, it may be a good "middle" option between desktop/laptop. It is one of those "all in one" desktops - everything is built into the monitor. It is also wireless internet capable so I could accomplish the same thing I wanted in a laptop.

Ummmm...moving right along....
Seems like it is time for this.
