Begining to Robert's Wedding Trip
We fly out at 4pm. Both Karen and I went to the doctor prior to this trip. Her with a nasty cough that was believed to be a virus and me with an ear infection. The airport was busier than usual. The flight was on time and we didn't have ...
Awards
... us. Even though we experienced some negative things, the positive we experienced far outweighed them. Some stats: We went to 24 states, were gone for 112 days, went to 4 of the Great Lakes, went to 10 national parks, and traveled 12,245 ...
Ready to go!
We're officially ready to begin our trip! We're through security and are now just waiting for our plane to go to LA. I hope it's not a small plane...luckily I brought my "calming" spray to use when or if the plane gets bumpy. It feels so weird to finally ...
Run, Run as fast as you can...
As is usually the case, our flight from Memphis to Charlotte was delayed. We landed with approximately 10 minutes to make our connecting flight, and the plane had been small. This means we had one bag that was checked plane side. Olivia ...
Charlotte
A nice hotel right there in downtown Charlotte. Had a nice dinner at a nearby restaraunt. Apparently recruits stay there prior to going to meps. the only bad thing was the hordes of pan-handelers. That gets a bit ...

Whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stranger...
... on Aerlingus and FINALLY arrive at 10:05am. So needless to say we have already had a hang up and we haven't even left Charlotte. As my mother would say: this is an adventure. This adventure so far has made my blood pressure rise and almost ...
We're Off!
... months of planning, it's finally time to leave. Right now, Amanda and I are killing a couple hours at the airport bar in Charlotte. We are both really excited, it hasn't seemed real until we actually got to the airport. I've been flying around the world ...
Up, Up, and Away!
We are packed and ready to go! I have only been working on packing for the past week and a half since school let out for summer. I know, it is pathetic, but it is my little way of extending the excitement of the international adventure on ...
A rocky start...
So, we are on our way to Philidelphia now even though things didn't go as planned at the Charlotte airport. Musa Kromah, our Liberian team member, was told if he went on the trip, he would not be able to return to the US because of visa problems. He ...
I think it is dead.
Well I did it. It is gone. My hair is 10 inches shorter. I am not really sure how I feel about it. I feel like I killed it (and it does look dead, doesn't it). Didn't know this before I went in, but the place I found to get my hair cut was a children's ...
Getting ready to leave
So I just set up this blog thingy. Computers and stuff like this are not my forte. I will try to update with some images of my travels as I get a chance. I am leaving for Istanbul, Turkey in a couple days. So i am practice packing to get things down to ...

DAY 112-Our final day is upon us. It's been a long time coming (112 days, 16 weeks, almost 4 months!) (but who's counting?) It's been the TRIP OF A LIFETIME and HEAVEN ON EARTH! We left the campground at 7:02 am when it was almost ...
Starting off
Wednesday morning we woke up early to drive to Nashville. We took I-40 all the way to Knoxville, TN and stopped at the University of TN. Ben was excited to see the stadium and it was a perfect place to get out and stretch. We had packed some PB&J and ...
A land without a phone
Sitting at gate A11 waiting on my flight to Miami and then to Salvador, Brazil, I felt my first twinge of withdrawal from my android phone. I left it at home for the first time ever. You'd think it was my baby or something. But as I felt the urge to ...

In about 20 minutes the trip of my lifetime is taking off. You can join me if you wish as this is a very clever travel log of my personal journey that can be accessed easily by visiting my site www.followbetty.com. There is also a place to send me ...
The Relaxed Hornet's Nest
... my previous layovers in Atlanta (another center of the "New South"), and perhaps because of my less-than-pleasing experiences in Fayetteville, Charlotte was not poised to be well received. But, like a good Tar-Heeled metropolis, it ...

Headed Home April 29 2013
What a great trip!! Charlotte Airport waiting for our ride home. To say everyone was nice is an understatement. I've been to New York many a time but this trip was so different. I know there's mean spirited people everywhere but New Yorkers were OVERLY ...
Wind in our hair =D
On the 3rd of August all of us, along with Stacey, David, JD, Audrey and all the puppies headed out to Lake Norman for a day on David's pontoon boat- 'Savannah'. We headed out in the morning, heavily sun-screened (most of us anyway) and loaded the boat, ...
