... I reach the interstate that I'm aiming for. As I pull onto my pathway of peace, I see the truck turn onto a side road and into the darkness of the forest, scampering off into the night, presumably in search of his next 'victim'. This whole thing is preposterous.

I have no idea what that guy was trying to do, what would've happened if I had stopped or if he just doesn't like Ford Focus cars. It really was a joke. I ...

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 ...

Well, I am excited about taking a road trip down to Lawrence with fellow family members, should be fun! I was down in Lawrence in March for my interview, however, the interview was the whole day, and I therefore did not get to see much of this beautiful city. We are also going to ...

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

27 days and counting down! Hello all, James and I are getting ready for our upcoming trip. We are going to try to stay in contact with you all via email and this travelouge website. 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!

This entry is dedicated to a Miss Corrie Leech, whose cabin was absolutely amazing. Although at some points of the weekend, I thought that I was in American Pie, spending the weekend with 8 or so college students in a isolated cabin on the beautiful Green ...

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.

... were in Wisconsin, we wanted to go to where cheese is made. However, we stopped first at the Honey Acres museum of honey making. My biggest fear is of bees and wasps, and they just happened to have a honey bee colony right outside their front door. I ran inside and luckily none of the bees tried to attack me. Similar to prior food and beverage tours, we were invited to a free tasting of the different types of honey they sell. The different tastes come from ...
