Ok, here I go... This is the blog page for my trip to South America. For those of you bored enough to log on, I will try my best to keep my blogs and pictures up to date. I'll also try to keep the material interesting. Tomorrow is the big day and I am quite excited, why ...

... was delicious. Mmm.

Each time I come back to the USA from a lesser-developed country, I do have a much greater appreciation for it than before. San Diego was only about a 45-minute drive. We went into downtown. As I was driving I noticed an old sailing ship. I've been really interesting in sailing lately, so I thought we should go over and take a look. It turned out to be the Maritime ...

... Venice pier. It was there that the first myth crashed and burned. The Baywatch hotties don't drive round in the red open jeeplike vechicles! They are in these yellow machines which make more sense coz where else is a man going to put his surf board 'cept on the roof. Lucky for us there were the wee blue watch towers all the way along, unlucky for nori there were no Pamela Anderson type red ...

... the US Open. An hour or so up the road we decided we needed to get onto the Interstate and inadvertently found our way onto Camp Pendleton, home of the US Marines. Realising that we were approaching the security checkpoint and unable to turn around, we had no choice but to ask the young Marine at the gate if we could drive in to turn around as we had gone the wrong way! After giving us a puzzled look, he told us ...

... a couple of Julia Roberts movies we haven't in our selection at home as well as some others (like ten) that we reckon were good value. J We found Karon who was a little perplexed when she could not see the shape of a television box but we were still carrying "stuff" but she had managed to find a "great value dress" so we head to the nearest Wal-Mart. Again Karon managed to divert herself from the important item area while Earnie and Rick went through the agony of attempting to ...

... in Beijing China and can meet you in Latin America end of next week. I just talked to my man on Thursday in SD, never did he mention China and 3 days later he's over there with the IM. That **** is crazy and I'm still tripping on that. Have Black Card will travel. Kissed Omar goodbye for school, worked the phones to Brandi & the office, and I headed to the airport. I was excited to meet"JD" , guitar tech extraordinary ...

... before i left NZ. Well the concierge at the hotel had told me that if I walked out the front of the hotel and turned left it was about a 20 minute walk down the road. So we all headed off in that direction walked for a while when Nicola spotted a shop she'd seen on a brochure so the other 3 stopped there and I walked on in search of this store. Well we'd all walked for 20 minutes and the area just looked wrong, i'd walked on an extra 20 minutes had ...

... Jehovah's organization! Attending the meetings has picked my spirits right back up. You're never alone when you can fit right in to a new congregation, surrounded by fellow worshippers of Jehovah. What a blessing to feel Jehovah's love among His people so quickly. Just what I needed. We also have already had visitors. My mom and step-dad came down to spend the weekend with us. They just left yesterday. It was the first time they had ...

We flew to San Diego for about 5 days to get together with the gang and enjoy some much missed sunshine. April & Eric (Yellowstoners) picked us up from the airport and off we went to a bar where CMF (Shane Ring - Garmischer) met us and we all caught up and had much needed chats. That night when we got back to their apartment we found out one of their roomies is Shaun another Garmischer we haven't seen for years. Such a small world. Then off we went North to Fallbrook to check out ...
