We are headed home
This is a top pick! 4 am came early. Really early. We tried to be as quiet as possible. Well everyone but Christina. Heather took the key to the room when she headed down with her luggage. The lights were on a timer connected to key so when the lights went out, Christina at ...
Day 3 -- Pancakes, Magic, and Martians
This is a top pick! Last evening we decided that we could wait no longer. We would have to go to the REAL attractions (the ones that made us come to Lake George) the night of Day 3 (Tuesday). No more fooling around! But first, some fooling around. The day started out ...
Goodbye to Uni, hello to America
This is a top pick! 29th June After saying goodbye to mum and dad (they picked up all my uni stuff), I began my first leg of my journey to America. I decided to stay in a Travelodge right beside Heathrow airport - however in order to get there I had to take 2 trains and the ...
To Be Prepared or Not to Be
This is a top pick! Whoa! Where did time go by? Geez! Is it June already??? It's like a wink dat has been fast forwarded to today... Wish I cudda click onto 'Pause' button, eh! I am countin' down 17 days left before I get aboard on a ...
Fenway Park and the Red Sox game
This is a top pick! So I was hoping to come back to the hostel and go to bed cause I'm exhausted, but I have three new roommates who seem to have taken over the room. I figure I'll come write this and then I'm going to bed whether ...
Ticking off the must see icons of New York
This is a top pick! Two action packed days and I'm ashamed that I've not yet written my entries. I would have fallen asleep yet again if it wasn't for the extra energy provided by American 'Goobers' and 'Nips' candy that I'm devouring... Our first stop on our way to ...
Heading Home at last (leg injury pictures)
This is a top pick! Anyone who has spent time wandering around airports knows, there is only so much you can do before you go stir crazy.For me its about 14 minutes... Anyway, the flight from Lima to Houston was full and I got to sit in the aisle seat, so I could put ...
Home - YAY!!!
This is a top pick! I just love to come home from any trip, but this one was exhausting. I think we saw enough of Peru & Bolivia to make the trip eventful. Certainly would change a few things if wew did it next time time make our lives a little easier, and ...
Seattle
This is a top pick! Low-riders, CB radios and soon disco. Coming home to America was a bigger adjustment than traveling to the Middle East. Now it's fashion instead of survival. Commercialism instead of religion. I hope you enjoyed my postcard tour of ...
The BIG D!
This is a top pick! Day 131 May 14 continued - Finally, I can leave the bus and the annoying young kid from Kentucky. He has yet to board a plane, I feel for the person he sits next to that day, Dallas! I've imagined visiting here for a long time, ever since my fascination ...
Transitions
This is a top pick! I write now after a long hiatus, not because there was nothing to write, but because sometimes just living is a big job in itself. The last months in Costa Rica were a whirlwind of school projects, class trips, preformances, reunions, final exams, new ...
DAY 4 -- Goony Golf, Natural Stone Bridge and more
This is a top pick! Breakfast was a home-grown affair, with toast and cereal out of the cupboard. While munching we watched some local television, and were sent into a fit of giggles by a commercial for a local Easy Rock station whose motto pledged that their station would ...
Icy Stait / Hoonah
This is a top pick! 
A few more than six feet under
This is a top pick! Where to begin? I guess that when you don't update weekly, too many experiences accumulate and you have to pick and choose. By the way, photos are up on the earlier entries. The weekend, perhaps, is the best place to start. On Saturday, CIEE took us ...
Boat, sweet Boat
This is a top pick! ... divorced, away. Some of her answers amaze me, others just seem funny. And, as always when coming back to the United States from abroad, there's that funny reverse culture shock: Souvenir shopping for Alaskan prices on Chinese salaries was a bit ...
One year after landing in Panama, last entry
This is a top pick! It has been a year since we landed in Panama City, more than six months since our return to McCall, over a month since our blog was featured by travelpod, and now, finally, we are ready to do our final entry. Lists, observations, ...
Buy, Buy New York
This is a top pick! It's been a slow few days here in the big city that have probably been due a northern hemisphere virus. Being fatigued I thought it better not to take in too many sights and instead concentrate on my other purpose here - shopping.I had been told of the ...
First Nation History & Ketchican
This is a top pick! 
perspectives on Hawaii...
This is a top pick! I'm looking at a full bodied sea turtle that's resting on the shore, eyes half closed....body appears to be fully relaxed...and it occurs to me that s/he doesn't know whether s/he is resting on the beach of a state park, or downtown Kona amongst ...
Another Journey in the Books...
This is a top pick! Stop by Klenske, Ink. After a very long day of traveling, we are home. Going home is never fun. I think we got a bit use to the European way of life, and being back here in Dubuque, Iowa, where everything is a dull brown and big, makes us wish we were ...
Mobing the boat
This is a top pick! Seattle is where this journey begins. This job is also for Williamson and Associates, our company has been doing a lot of work with them lately. Donny is up in Seattle as well doing a NOAA survey in Oak Harbor for these guys at the same time as a matter ...
Big City Reunion
This is a top pick! After a long and delayed flight, I was back on the West Coast. Staying in Inglewood for its location alone, it was something of a downgrade from the prime locations I had been in the past. However its proximity to the airport was all important. ...
Back home to Chicago...and the Snow!
This is a top pick! So two weeks is really a great amount of vacation time...long enough to really relax, but not long enough that you get homesick, and your plants don't need watering in that amount of time. We made it back to Singapore after leaving our "interesting" ...
the earth, the food, and the stars
This is a top pick! I've spent all my time so far in the Pahoa area of the Big Island. It's on the lower east side of the island and runs right up to the volcanic flow of the infamous volcano Kilauea....which at the moment is quite active....more than it's been ...
1st world charm
This is a top pick! Ahhhh... ...a computer that works. I'm back safely in the states now. Oddly enough, NOW I'm facing culture shock! After a week, I can finally keep down American food without getting nauseous. Time is a funny thing to me. A few ...
SoCal for five days
This is a top pick! After leaving Sayulita, it was about eight hours by bus to Mazatlan. We arrived in Mazatlan about 10 pm, and had to leave the next morning for the airport at 5:30 am, so we decided to just crash at one of the hotels surrounding the bus station. We ...
Googs!
This is a top pick! ... . Next stop, Reykjavik in the early hours. I'll always consider the USA to be another home for me. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring more States and cities and I'm sure it won't be long till I add to the 28 states I've already visited. Thank you to all ...
The Wedding
This is a top pick! Just in case our 15 month trip round the world wasn't interesting enough my brother decided to get married in New York in December to give us a little holiday from our holiday. Unfortunately Malaysia is literally on the other side of the world so some ...
The mile high city
This is a top pick! Day 134 May 17 continued - The drive from Oklahoma city to Denver was long! Very long! 15 hours long! I promised my host I would ring her, I have a USA phone card and all I need is a pay phone. There are none in 4 fast food joints that we stop at on the ...
