... the back of my car. This isn't happening, surely? He does it a few times, while continuing to flash his lights at me. It's fair to say that I'm now in trouser changing territory. He then begins to try and get along side me. Eager not to have to look this guy in the eyes, I start to speed up. I'm physically shaking at this point and just want to get on to a busier road, to try and avoid a starring role in my own personal ...

We had a good time at The Wilderness resort. However, their customer service sucks! I found out later that is was not just us. Some other people we know went there about a month later and had the same poor customer service experience.

We enjoyed the indoor water parks and laser tag. Later that night we went to Ho Chunck Casion and had a little fun on the slot machines.

... info on the history and all the statistics about the canal, and on the top floor was a lookout where you could watch ships going through the locks. It was nice to see something different after so many ancient ruins and natural wonders. We stayed there for about three hours then went souvenir shopping near downtown. After exploring a bit more downtown, we went back to our hostel and got packed up. Our flight was slated to leave at 2 am, so we had some time ...

... to see our new apartment for the first time, which I am a bit anxious about, since I simply havent seen it. I think everything will be okay though. Ben is coming down to start applying for jobs and interviewing for some too. I am hoping our trip will be very productive indeed!

Well, only 36 hours until we head to the airport. We are both getting quite excited. Right now James is filing our ice axes before we pack them up. We are 98% packed and have a few things to get done tomorrow. We will try to update as soon as we have a free moment. We arrive in Auckland on their Friday ( our Thursday) and we are going to be staying with a friend and taking a nice shower and perhaps a nap. stay tuned for more info! Carol Lynn

This week we discovered something called wwoofing (willing workers on organic farms). There are some beautiful and amazing places we can stay in exchange for a few hours of work a day. There is a place called the Lazy Fish that is on the ocean in the Malbrouro(sp?) sounds that seems quite ideal. I think we are going to be doing a lot of this kind of work as we travel around. You can stay for a week or a month! Kind of fun. Still counting down the days. Carol Lynn

We are trying to figure out where to go and what to do. Please feel free to pass any of this info on to others that might find it interesting. Later Alligator!

... is without words. Complete with jet skiing, wake boarding, water skiing, trampoline, tasty food, and beer and mixed drinks to spare, I couldn't of asked for a better weekend. There was definitely lots of games, adventures, and conversations. Thank you Corrie!

I am now in glamorous Green Bay, WI. I head off to Mexico City tomorrow morning at 6 a.m. (oh what fun). I will be in Mexico traveling from Mexico City to Guadalajara for a week and back to Green Bay for my road trip across the country back to California.

Greetings from Campbellsport, WI Campbellsport is a small town in southeast Wisconsin. We spent five days here before heading into central Wisconsin. Wisconsin is known for its cheese and to produce a lot of cheese you need a lot of milk. To get a lot of milk, you need a lot of dairy cows and a lot of dairy cows can make a big stink. The scenery on our way to the campsite consisted of corn fields, soybean fields, and cow pastures. Wednesday - We drove to the small ...
