... about them. So far, my experience with them has been great. They even have a Facebook fan page so I can try and connect with other travelers.

After I'm done volunteering, my cousin is joining me for a few days to relax and explore Costa Rica's beauty. Between now and then, I have to brush up on my Spanish, especially "Costa Rican" Spanish.

I know these next few months will fly by, and that's ok with me!

Until next time,

... loads of birds. Also loads of curious little chipmunks (I want one!). We went on a walkng trail and then headed for a drive up the side of Lake Michigan. There were loads of gorgeous houses and they are massive too. After the drive we went into downtown Green Bay which is quite small and quiet and took a walk down by the river.

Green Bay was built around the Fox River ...

... us were pretty close together. I watched lots of movies and played lots of Solitare. I tried sleeping, but I just can't get comfy enough. Thankfully I had my pashmina along! A very nice extra blanket. We tried to do another "Roman" tour at the Detroit airport - fountains, Metro, lots of people We were very excited to be back in the States.

I am so glad I went on this trip. I have always ...

Woke up this morning listening to thunder and rain in Fayette, Mo. It was pouring rain when I finally left Fayette. Mary's hubby left before I woke up and I was unable to say thank you and good bye to him. Mary made me a very healthy breakfast. Six egg whites with cheicken breast and cheese.

I tried to wait as long as I could to see if the rain would stop...It did not!!! At 930am I decided to put on my rain ...

Well, I've started this travel blog a little prematurely, but I'm too excited to keep everything quiet. Trisha and I have officially started saving for our world travel adventure which will begin on the 6th of April 2010. Still deciding exactly where to start our trip and how it's all going to work out. All I know is that it WILL happen. 9 months to go. Until then this blog will help me organize my thoughts, ideas and potential travel destinations. Can't wait to get started.

Today is the crazy long day of travel. Right now I'm sitting at the Detroit airport, for the last how many hours. The group seems super nice so far. We'll see after 2 weeks. Actually I think it will go really well. I'm so excited. The first flight was on a tine ...

... the reason, it's a great feeling to be "simplifying" things a little more.
I definitely feel like I've developed an appreciation for what I do have. Being in Morocco was life changing for me, and in a very positive way!

I've attempted making mint tea, and it hasn't turned out too bad, but I need to keep practicing. I made kab el ghazal (ankle of the gazelle) cookies, which we ate at almost every home we were in, and those also turned out ...

Greeting from Green Bay! Well I arrived safely into the arms of my parents yesterday after traveling all day from Montego Bay, Jamaica. The trip was uneventful, but I was glad to be done with it. Waiting for the plane to take off from Montego Bay, I realized that I would miss Jamaica. I didn't think I would but I guess the enormity of my experience didn't sink in until I was about to break from it. I know that when I return, I ...
