Aaarg! Where to next?
On the road again. Check out my travelling partner. I wasn't ready to leave New Orleans. It's one of those places where I found I wasn't there long enough to experience it all. Unfortunately I had to leave as I need sleep. The campground I was at was ...
Who Am I ! ?
I'm back on the road in the morning without writing my actual blog. Destination....Galveston, Texas. I not sure about having internet access there so there are a few things I have to say first. I might have to find a Starbucks. Happy 75th ...
A different view on a familiar place.
The great thing about travel is you can go to the same place several times and get something different out of it each time. My second visit to La Fayette to stay with my good friend Jerie was just as enriching as the first, if not more so. ...
Today was an OK day. Went pretty well.
... , I was feeling the urge to ride more. So, I rode right by there like a had good sense! There was an KOA in Lafayette, La. and I decided to go for it. The lake is nice, but San Antonio was MUCH better. Think San Antonio has been my ...
The calm before the storm
Met Sara for drinks at the Blue Moon after work. Trying to come down from my adrenaline rush of attempting to get everything done before taking a month long sabbatical from work. So, trying to be Wonder Woman and ultimately stressing out, I headed out ...
With only 10 days left to be at my staging ...
With only 10 days left to be at my staging event, I have much to do. Even though I have 6 containers full of mostly winter clothes and school books, my room is still full of stuff. I've purchased my internal frame backback which I will initially use ...
On the road...
... everything into my car on Tuesday, I hit the road and made it as far as Marianna, FL up in the panhandle. Yesterday I drove to Lafayette, LA. I spent the night at the Blue Moon Guest House, which turned out to be pretty awesome. They have a bar out back, ...
Acadiana
... the NCAA playoff game thanks to a massive, wall size TV screen housed in a posh, new sushi bar located in Lafayette's otherwise dead (on a Monday night anyway) downtown area. We inadvertently completed an "exploratory (get lost) drive" somewhere ...

Cold and Windy day in Lafayette

UB Mock Trial at LaFayette Pennsylvania
Man, this was one hell of a trip eh? We headed down...probably 8 of us, plus Mrs. and Lil C. Those were some amazing car rides, I just can't figure out how I never ended up driving. Anyways, Matt and Seon, that was our last tourney together. ...
Life In Lafayette
... 4 great Mommies and they all love me so much. They gave me eyes, a mouth, a heart, and not to mention life. The fountains are lovely and the flowers smell great. Lafayette was very nice but I can't wait to continue my trip. Toodles for now! ...
Just passing through.
In the morning we wandered the streets of the French Quarter and took pictures of the buildings, street entertainers, etc. It was around 11 before any of the area woke. We left the city via the back road along the Mississippi and saw new construction ...
Cajun country...
... Thomas (David and Matthew did the sensible thing when I arrived and headed back to Scotland!) - not forgetting Juneau the dog! Lafayette itself is a pretty "small" place, although I only really saw the immediate downtown area on my first day, after ...
On the road again...
The Sexus has its biggest challenge yet with a 1500 mile drive to complete in 4 days with Miami being the destination. Our car hasn't failed us yet, the body is slowly falling apart and everyday seems to reveal a new broken part with the speedometer ...
Yes it has been 3 months since my last ...
... family and friends. It wouldn't be truthful if I told you that I am looking forward to returning to Samoa. I've been in the United States too long. When I first knew I was leaving the country, I had something new and exciting to look forward to, and ...
No Where !
It was raining and cold when I woke up this morning as predicted on TV. I waited for a break in the rain, went to a grocery store, bought fruit and sandwich for breakfast and lunch. I then read a lot, dozed off a bit, converted my Internet Explorer 8 ...

Le décalage horaire est presque passé mais je décide de rester calme aujourd'hui. Après le petit-déj, je dit au revoir à Victoria puis pars faire un tour à pied au centre ville. Assez calme comme d'habitude. Mais cela chance quand je me ...

Samdi 18 avril
Je quitte l'hostel à 8heures et retourne chez Ihop mais pour des pancakes aux bananes cette fois. Je rends la voiture à l'aéroport: Je me suis trompé dans les dates et aurais du la rendre la veille! M'enfin! J'enregistre mes bagages et attends ...
