... to relect on all the things that have happened in the last six months and give some in depth analysis on what we've learned from our experiences. Forget it. I just want to chill and watch some of the in flight movies that I didn't have time to see in the theatre. By the way, The Time Traveler's Wife gets a thumbs up. I had no idea what it was about even though it was a huge bestselling novel and a hit ...

So it's been a couple of days now since I've been back and I must say that now that I've rested and have had time to think about it; I had a really great time. It had been a long time since any of us had dove together (or even seen each other for that matter) and the time together will be remembered for a long time. Just hope I ...

So stay tuned for the further adventures of five guys (no dog!) as they drive down the east coast. Updates and photos will follow.<br><br>Five Guys Take a Trip - We Arrive in Key Largo

... liftoff. Once you get the electronics packed, there's just no room for clothes. I have one standard 28 inch suitcase, a medium duffle, a laptop case, and the ever present backpack. While this would not normally be much for a one year trip, I am already trying to envision how to carry it all by myself through the airport. I may have to practice. And I will definately have to take a taxi into Bangkok and hire a ...

... ticket return that far in advance; solution, buy a two way ticket with any return date and pay $100 to change the date later on), sent in express envelope which must contain a return express envelope within, a $175 money order which is non- refundable if there are any errors or the Thai Visa is refused. Whew<br><br>Thank God for my Thai friend Ji who filled in some of the blanks. You want to be honest (have you seen those movies ...

Gramps lives in a cute little house on Culver Lake in NJ ~ cute as a button, both he and the place. I love the water &amp; the town &amp; the company, &amp; it's one of the most comfortable places I've been. I'm looking forward to the next time we visit, when Gramps will make me an Old Fashioned in the evening while we sit overlooking the moon reflecting on the lake in the eve, and eggs over easy just the way I like em in the morn. <br>

... to be with me. It's very strange being here with your kids but not fully together. The Health Center is looking good. We even have twinkling red white and blue lights on the porch donated by one of the parents of some campers here. Lots of people have helped to bring the building together. We have just gotten our first load of laundry back but I haven't ...

Ok, so we are alive and well! Again my expectations of my ability to keep up a travel blog exceed reality. We are here at Pinemere and finally a moment to breathe! Even if it is 11:17pm, so excuse any writing errors. Things were completely insane the first few days Aviva and I arrived. Pre-camp is quite intense. Of course having the pharmacy you used not send meds as promised put a ...

... and quite foggy, combined with the forest noises it was spectacularly eerie! It was just as well I did a practice drive to the bus station and back on the Saturday, before going to New York, because the drive back at night was a little different and with the fog quite easy to get lost (didn't help the only map of the area I got just showed the main highways connecting to each other either), but I managed OK. I spaced out ...
