Finally, departure from LAX
Loaded with enough medicine to kill a horse, we finally embarked on our adventure together. It didn't take long for our first hiccup: I left my fleece (and only warm jacket) at LAX, where it will probably remain for another 4 months until I can reclaim ...
L A
Flew into LA today. First impressions not very good. It's bloody freezing here. Hostel an ABSOLUTE SHIT HOLE, compounded by the fact that all girls here in early 20's. Feeling like a right ol' grandma. This place stinks. Can't wait to leave! Looked at ...
a single step
I cried today. I cried once in college when my mother called me and told me my dog had died. Prior to that I can't even remember the last time. My friends and family made me cry. I think perhaps it was the first time I realized how much I truly ...
U.S. of A! Lets Go LAKERS!

LA Baby!

LAX to Atlanta
A nine day trip to Botswana for some West Coast Americans? A 20 hour plane ride to get there and even longer to get back? Are you serious? Are we crazy? Probably yes to all those questions... [note: this is being put together about 2 years after our ...
