... I'd had a bad experience with non-carton milk products in Singapore. My feelings were confirmed when i drank it. It was horrible.<br><br>On my way again for the last hour and the sun was starting to set. I reached Dyersville, exited the Interstate, drove underneath and followed the GPS to the motel... or so I thought. So after I wound up driving back down the Interstate in the opposite direction to which I came I found a place to turn off and around and tried again. This time I ...

... Catherine at Globeaware told me on my way to Machu Picchu they have a lot of pick pocketers. I know I will be ok, but it makes me think. I am really excited to see Jose - it has been almost 10 years. I am excited to spend time with the kids. I am excited. So I head to my last day of work. I also have a bunch to do. But tomorrow I go. Here I come Peru.<br>

... in Iowa are the green fields, corn, beans, and even wheat carpet the hillsides for miles. At one point while stopping for pictures I wanted to take a running leap and just get lost in the corn. Needed to keep driving to make Dubuque but as I got closer the emergency alert system came on, something about hail, flash floods and sever thunderstorms heading straight towards me.

... a frightful feeling for a girl terrified of dogs would be an understatement. Everyone was so welcoming as well as very proud of the place they call home. They didn't seem to worry about the things that contemplate many of my days here at home. They live in the moment and they don't think about what they don't have but what they do. While I was there many people touched my life including my fearless leader ...

Well another day and another day away from my head. It was better, but I am still not back to normal mentality. How does this work. How do I go to another country and be and then come home and go back to normal. Because for me normal seems like a thing of the past. I keep thinking about that Google logo, with ...

I am not sure what is happening to me but all I do is think. And the problem is I don't really know what I am thinking about. I just feel like my life is turned upside down. I was at work today and Lisan (my boss) said twice - what happened to Jill, when do you think she will come back. I said I am not sure what happened. She can see on my face that empty feeling. That exhausted look. I just got off the phone with Katie and ...

... Costa Rica. Everything was done and all I needed to do was wait. All of the Shots were taken and the Malaria medicine bought and about a week ago it became a reality. People have told me I am so adventurous -- not really. Some asked - including my mom are you getting nervous and I thought I wouldn't get nervous until I landed in San Jose, Costa Rica. I guess I was wrong ...

Visit Klenske, Ink. When most people think of traveling to Costa Rica, they feel a warm pacific breeze blowing and soft white sand between their toes. They picture posh resorts, the glowing Volcan Arenal, a misty rain forest, or the zip of a canopy tour. But there is another side of Costa Rica, one well worth adding to your itinerary of places to go while traveling in the country. A side accessible only by boat, winding through black-water jungle canals. Isolated from any ...
