Madison
Went here on my trip around the U.S. Visited the University of Wisconsin campus. I was shocked to find it infiltrated by socialists! Man are the people there ever different from back home in Louisiana. And I don't mean in a good way! It was like ...
Quilt Barns of Green County
We arrived in Madison on a very hot and humid afternoon. The perk of being a director is being able to park very close to the convention center, this makes it very easy to come back and walk Molly. Monday morning Larry had a meeting, the down side ...
A Week at the FMCA Convention
Tuesday, Larry had a couple of meetings so Molly and I hung out together. Wednesday, which was the actual start of the convention, started at 7:00am. I wanted to sign up for some jewelry classes so I got there early to get the times I ...

Leaving Wisconsin Winter for Italy
I am leaving for Rome on the 25th of January. We will be there for one week and then settle into Florence for the rest of the semester. Our apartment over looks the river and the Ponte Vecchio. My Travel Plans are as follows: ...
Rednecks here we come!!
On the journey to Madison we stopped in Milwaukee for some lunch in the sun! We hit up a mall - my first big mall.. And I loved it! Me and Kate were most taken with the Hollister shop that had a sale on. Shame my bag is at full capacity - I could only buy ...
My bags are packed I am ready to go
I can't believe this time tomorrow I will be on the plane. Travel tourneys will begin. The time has come very fast. But I am ready for it. I have been bored at home since I don't have to attend school right now. For the last week I have not been able to ...
Squirrels make everything better
As with most days, this one began at the tender hour of 5.30. I wouldn't call it jetlag, my brain just doesn't seem to understand how long it has slept for (an hour feels like 8!). I decided to have a shower, seems easy enough? Wrong! There is nothing to ...
Endings
... as possible into the ones I had. Then it was about 30 hours of traveling before Rick picked me up at the airport in Madison. Then I discovered that I had a huge amount of swelling in my lower legs, even though I tried to get up every few hours on the ...
Departure
I was still packing and didn't get to bed until well after midnight. Rick gave me a ride to the airport. I was exhausted and hadn't done everything I planned, of course, but at least once I left there was nothing more I could do to prepare, so I could ...
It's always fun to plan a trip
My friend Natasha and I have been talking about taking a road trip together for ages. 4 years at least, I should think. I'm at that point in my life where I'm sick to death of always saying I'll go and do things or go places or make changes to something, ...
One More Day
3/29 Today, Rachel and I drove another 9 hours to Madison. We arrived around 6:00 PM to stay with Rachel's friend, Melissa, and her husband, Josh. We enjoyed great conversation over dinner, and later, over a beer at a local pub. It was a great final-night ...

Day Nine - All the way home
... we were in O'Hare, we found a money exchange place, but they wouldn't take Argentine pesos. D'oh. Last flight to Madison was easy and uneventful. Lisa even slept a little bit. Upon landing we took one last picture, sorry the week ...
One Week
There is officially one week and one day until I leave the U.S. and fly into Rome for orientation. I just found out that only one other girl is going on the program with me (I assume she'll be my roommate) and this is kind of scary. I'm not sure ...
Gidday
... a winter. Since Thanksgiving we haven't spent more than three consecutive nights in any one place. Between us, we've been in Madison, Chicago, Door County, San Francisco, LA, Portland, New York, Gainesville (VA), Las Vegas and Boca Raton...all in the ...
DUCK
... problems would be him crapping on my head. Now, I may not be the sharpest pencil in the box, but I'm guessing a pheasant screaming through your windshield at 75mph might leave a mark... lol. Anyway, we pressed on and here we are, near Madison ...
In the state of cheese!
... chicken fried rice without having to buy all the necessary ingredients (what would I do with a whole bottle of soya sauce?). Madison seemed so inviting that I was in the mood to explore its nightlife, but I don't enjoy doing that alone. ...
Day 3 - Around Wisconsin
... , who are ready to take on the big wide world. You really get a sense of this being a powerhouse of the American lifestyle. Madison has a proud history of civil decent and student riots from the 60's which you can sort of still feel while walking in ...
The Forgotten coast
... . The one village was even more beautiful then the other. We also passed Seaside. In that place they filmed the movie 'The Truman Show'. Later that night we passed Tallahassee and spent the night in the middle of nowhere, and that place called 'Madison'. ...
Football (ops, soccer) in the USA
... 't even have a great start to this...what I think will be ...an awful trip...hopefully I will be all wrong about this hunch of mine. Madison has been great. I have taken it easy and not done a whole lot. I could see my self ending up here..but I think it ...
Home again, Home again...it's been a year!
... Hopefully this next year I will be again motivated to write in this travel blog and take more pictures. While I was in Madison I had a great time! So many good friends! I took photos of the Dairyland Cowboys and Cowgirls barn dance, the ...
Spam, Spam., Spam, Spam
I had that ridicules ad repeating in my head alternating with Spamalot song. Beware, do not go into the SPAM museum when in Austin Minnisota. Although it is a fun exhibit the aftereffects will kill you. I even tried two SPAM samples and it brought back ...
Getin ready to roll...
We are days away from our big adventure. We are so excited to be away from everything for a total of 12 nights...but a little worried about the flight with Maxwell. Maxwell is 23 months. This is not his first time on a plane but ...
Getting Ready
I'm copying my big sister and creating a travel-logue for this trip. Her's is so cool that I thought it was worth a try! We're busy planning for the trip! There are so many options and ideas when it comes to planning for Paris - It's hard to narrow ...
