It won't be long now!

... in the soft here-is-another-thing-you-do–not- need way. The bracelet is 925 silver. 925! That is the same silver that all of my Tiffany jewelry is made of…at a fraction of the price….I mean how could I pass it up? (Apparently I couldn’t)

A fancy box of Cubans

So…my husband is a cigar smoker. I thought that it would be cool to get him a few Cubans. I know they are illegal and so that made it even more exciting to ...

So an hour before Doug is going to take me to the airport I suddenly remember that I need passport photos for my visa into Cambodia. Unfortunately, there is no place doing passport photos at this time so I'll have to try my luck in Singapore or somewhere along the way in Thailand. Shouldn't be too much of an issue but not good that I'm starting with an issue.

... and recharged our batteries, Phoenix is a very cute little city,Drove through sedona and flagstaff and stayed in a place called oak creek the red rock formations were stunning just caught them at sunset, sure i`ve seen them before in the good the bad and the ugly! maybe not, Didn`t see any indians,( except those selling jewellry on the roadside)

... of the afternoon. We caught up on writing our travel journal as well. Christine and I seemed to have the place to ourselves! Around 5:00, we were picked us by a taxi and taken to the airport. The flight arrived in San Francisco without incident. For the second time in our trip, our duffle bags were among the first bags to be delivered by the baggage carousel. We are using up ...

Scott Flew on two planes today, no problemo. Talked to this yank on the second plane though who was flying back from a motorbike tour of England, and he insulted it! He said everything in England was old and ******, there are too many speed cameras etc. He even said our showers were too small - they vary in size *****!! Stayed in a kick ass hotel - automatic flushers, gym, small pool, pancakes for breakfast! you could even change how hard the mattress was by remote! Soph ...

... comes in handy and is soon full of dirty clothes. We drop off the Avalon at Alamo and arrive at the airport with time to spare. The flight to Charlotte was uneventful so we camped out in the main concourse to wait for our next flight to Phoenix. Meanwhile an ice storm is marching across the Midwest, delaying the arrival of our plane as well as many others. We eventually ...

... he dared climb? How vigorously he could bob his head feather as he cried out? The quality of his song (they all sounded alike to me)? I saw one male manage to attract a female. She flew up onto the top of the pool house, and he flew up after her. She dropped down into a hole on one side of the roof, and he dropped down into a hole on the other (the roof had some lattice work on it). Then she popped out, and he popped out of his hole and waddled over to her ...

... For her, the fact that I've wanted to do this for a long time wasn't enough. Why have I wanted to do this? What is it about this opportunity that I get so excited about? There is something about being pushed way outside of my comfort zone that causes me to thrive. By thrive, I don't mean frolicking in the park. It is dirty and gritty and I sometimes think I'm not going to make it. I know that about 3 months into the trip, I will start to wonder what in ...
