5 day countdown until departure
Only 5 days until we leave! I got the luggage down from my closet to have a look see. I'm a nervous bundle of energy and excitement today, and I fear it will only get worse as the week progresses. I'm sure my family will be glad to see me go if only for ...
Departure Day!
Departure day is finally here! We will be in the air in about 7 hours from now. Looking forward to a day in London tomorrow. The weather is going to be rainy and windy so I am prepared. Praying for a safe and exciting trip. ...

Travel tip number one from Mike.... Don't wash your passport in the washing machine 4 days before leaving the country. That happened to me. Yesterday was a typical day; I was studying for a final and taking a short break for lunch. When I got home ...
Reflections
It has been over two months since our trip and I just finished my blog today. I still need to upload photos, but feel good about finishing my entries. I'm really glad I journaled for the most part while on the trip because as time goes by you seem to ...
More than halfway through!
... but once again, Jeremy was right. I am truly directionally challenged it appears. We took 6 down to 14 and then headed into Aurora. After figuring out where our end point was for the day, it became clear that the town must have thought we would be coming ...
Leaving U.S. for Buenos Aires
I was staying with my daughter in Aurora Co, getting ready for my trip. I had emailed several apartment locators in BsAs, and had decided I liked one of them, but at the last minute, I noticed a ¨youth¨ hostel that looked interesting, so I opted on ...
Carlos's
Created memories to last a lifetime with a reunion of Carlos, Keith, Jessica, me, and Carlos's chainsaws in Aurora. Sat around, told lots of lies about glory days, and tried to rid Aurora of beer. Epic ...
Getting ready to go
Talk about last minute! But the truth of the matter is I went to Monterey Institute of International Studies (hereinafter MIIS) and kept up with my French because I wanted to work and travel in Africa. So I'm excited to have this job so early in my ...
The Treasure of Friendship
Today I heard from my dear friend Denise. We have known eachother for 20 years. Our kids have grown up together - when we weren't, one or the other of us, moving around the country, which we have both done extensively. She moved from ...
Delayed entry :)
Hi everyone! This will probably be my shortest blog ever (not sure if that's good or bad)! I went with some friends to the new Harry Potter movie last night and was too tired to write an entry. We also had a 2 hour cast fitness day and a 2 hour ...
What did I get myself into? :)
I know that this title may be misleading but it really isn't, I promise :) I have 3 days to catch you up on! I'll try to summarize as best as possible but, for those of you know my writing style, it's not my forte :) I like to elaborate and ...
You think you know...but you have no idea!
I thought I knew exactly what Up With People was all about when I first started to browse the web site. When I arrived in Denver, I assumed I was pro. You think you know...but you have no idea! Up With People is so much more than just a group of ...

Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah. A Song For The World.
Good morning everyone! The title from this blog comes from a brand new song my UWP cast is performing called "Sing Your Song". It's always in my head and it's absolutely amazing and uplifting! It's our opening song and will be a real energizer for ...

A Quick Note...
Hi everyone! Just a quick note to say that Helen and I are done with our 2 week stay with the Elliot family and will be going to a new host family tomorrow. I don't know if the new host family has internet capability but I will try! If you don't hear ...
Tat Tat Tat it Up!!
After an amazing lunch this afternoon, we spent 4 hours in a tattoo parlor with our host family! It was the most fun ever! Krstine, RJ, and Mrs Corby wanted to get their first tattoos. Caitlin and I got the tops of our ears pierced. It was such an ...

Tonight was so much fun. Our host parents went on a date becuase it was the anniversary of the day they met (how awesome is that?) so it was just Kristine, Kinsie, Kipp, Kari, and myself at the house for the evening. We ordered Chinese Take-out and all ...

rome trip
In 1964 I hitch hiked across the USA in four and a half days. I got to New York City too fast and had to find a place to stay for five more days before flying to Europe. I found a mid-town YMCA that worked. I only bring that up for financial reasons. ...
