... wonders of the planet. We descended 800 feet below the surface of White’s City and experienced true darkness in Carlsbad Caverns. We viewed the palate of rust reds, chalky whites, and warm purples in the Painted Desert, and saw massive fossilized trees in the Petrified Forest. Although we didn’t get to pick fruit in Capitol Reef Park in Utah, we did get to drive through its Mars-like bright red landscape. We were amazed by Arches, but underwhelmed by ...

... in September.  Annoyed, we headed onto Broadway where we were to find a tourist info centre - they must be able to help us!  And boy did they help, a whole piece of paper with the names and phone numbers of all the hostels we had just called out of the guidebook.  Hmmmm.  Strangely, the internet was just as useful, kindly informing us that the only places available cost as much as the flight over, per night.  Ever tried researching something in 15min slots at a free ...

... ve spent time with her. I always enjoy our girl talk... we theorize on life lessons, relationships, and of course men... (the latter topic can give us hours of chatting ammo) you know, just your typical girl coffee talk. I recently discovered that she went to fashion school, so I will diligently start harassing her to make me something on a daily basis now... this is probably the reason it took her so long to tell me! On my way home walking up 7th Ave, the night ...

... Ground Zero (still not much evidence yet of the construction of the new Freedom Tower on the site of the World Trade Centre), City Hall, New York's Supreme Court (with, for fans of Law & Order, a very familiar facade and front steps) and Chinatown. Too exhausted to wander any more, we returned to our hotel to rest, relax and re-energise. Still 11 more weeks to go, must pace ourselves. Tomorrow... Philadelphia!

... Feeling re-charged, we headed to central park where we hired a rowing boat and went out on the lake. It was great and perfect weather for it. We even saw a bride and groom out on boats (although I think they were models doing a photo shoot rather than actually getting married). So after a few near collisions on the lake, we headed back to the Hostel via Strawberry fields (a tribute to John Lennon). Feeling a bit peckish we decided to ...

... exam the next day. This is a huge test, the biggest of her career. It kind of reminds me of what I hear about the bar. Once you pass it, the exams are done. But most people fail the first time. Same with this. It's the biggest exam of her career and 90% fail the first time around. My sister, however, passed!!!! She called with the good news, and her then-boyfriend, now-fiance and I went to meet her at the airport. As soon as ...

... what I want to do with my life. I plan to teach all the cute little kiddies in second grade from September through June and then travel all summer. I really want to see and experience the world for all it has to offer. It's not something that I want to do, but something that I HAVE to do. Also, I'm a bit of a rock star, if I can say so myself... haha, OK, well, I have a tendency to fall for rock stars. Music is my second passion ...

"I look at the side of your face as the sunlight comes streaming through the window in the autumn sunshine. And all the time going to Coney Island I'm thinking, wouldn't it be great if it was like this all the time?" - Van Morrison My friend Matt and I decided to get out for a while during Spring Break. We contemplated doing something in the city but it was supposed to rain and we didn't want to be stuck in Manhattan ...

... fell in love w Bush's Baked Vegeterian Beans which we can't get in canada. my souvenir to her are beans which we found there. ok --- now imagine manhattan island. it's kind of like a rectangle with the short ends facing north and south. we were at the top left end and we walked across the top to the east, then down south. brian carried these 2 cans of baked beans the whole way. we basically gave the ...
