Crossland Austin Round Rock

Five weeks, 8 major cities, four continents, 4 radio stations, 8 food markets, 6 tribal or fishing villlages, WMDB actually walked past 19 bookstores in A-dam, 20+ musuems, pickled herring sandwiches, chocolate waffles, pancakes to DIE for, trams, Red Light District, the lights and sights and fashionable footwear of Paris, swarms of hunger immigrants selling everything from super-glue to TP on the streets, cattle stampedes, and the second worst roads I have ever encountered.

... thing to see it coming, to have had a major hand in the choice. Why do it? I don't know. I couldn't answer that before and I know I can't answer it now. But what I do know is it sounds exciting, interesting, different, and something that will be uniquely ours. Even if it means nothing at all, it will be ours. And that means everything.

I want to wish everyone a happy thanksgiving.
I had a great thanksgiving week. I want to thank some of you who have already donated. Thank You.

My grandparents came and brought me money from some of my sponsors. I had to make sure I sent out thank you e-mails. My dad had to send in more money to People to People so I could get a confirmed spot in the program.

I will have soap for sale soon, and details of my other fundraisers.

Susan and I finished packing all our clothes and gear this morning to start our excursion. Since we will be traveling for a month, we needed both warm and cold weather clothes. We also packed our skiing gear in case we stop at a place where we ...

Two weeks from today I will depart on a jet plane . . . and another . . . and another . . . and another. It will take a while to get there, but that's part of the adventure! Right now I'm busy preparing for the trip, and getting more excited with each passing day. Sometimes each passing hour!

By chance, just a few days ago, I discovered there is a 10K fun run from Livingstone to Victoria Falls the ...

... wondering what I would get to see and what I would miss. It was the first
time that I was so vividly reminded of the price of living abroad. I miss
my parents and family and friends, but in the course of a few months or a
couple of years, many of them come to visit me, and the ones I don't see don't
change much. So for Libby to go from non-existence to ...

My friend Bev threw an amazing going away party for me. We all got together at her house and had bloody marys, burgers, and beers. Derek came in town and brought his special lady friend, so I got to meet Kelly. Omar came in from San Antonio. Layla and Dave came up. Janello was there. My friend Moni had met me for lunch a ...

... asks to be let out. He fumbles with his pockets a little and slurs something to the driver, who responds with what must have been the Spanish equivalent of "Get the hell outta my van!". I would really come to enjoy collectivo's on this trip. We jump out in Tulum and head over to the ATM to load up on more pesos. I had a few left from last year that handled the collectivo fee, but we want to eat on this trip too! Speaking of ...
