Hilton Grand Rapids Airport

... to point on rabbits, squirrels and birds. Her favorite greeting is with something in her mouth and "growling" affectionately at you. She makes great eye contact, is finally starting to learn words (typical of rescues), loves walks and keeps Donna company during the day, never leaving her side.

Grand Rapids, MI... I have nothing to say really. It decided to start raining like crazy the minute we crossed the Michigan border. Needless to say, I didn't feel like exploring much in the rain. But, our show went well, we had an excellent crew in a great space, so I can't really complain. I just hope Michigan gets a bit better.<br>

... that once again we had underestimated the size of everything in the USA. It was on Lake Michigan but we first had to get past Lake Macatawa which ran into Lake Michigan. Our hotel was a 40 minute walk from town and then getting to Michigan would probably take us another 1.5 hours.......yeah, even their little lakes are big. So, because we didn't have a car, we were kind of trapped,....and I don&#8217;t think it was entirely by accident either.<br><br>Holland is a ...

So I head off today on this big adventure! I will be in Amsterdam for 3 days and then I head off to Arusha on Sunday with my group. I am full of excitement and nerves and I can't wait to learn and experience everything this semester will offer. There will be many stories and photos (if I can find somewhere to upload them) to follow. <br>Love and peace to everyone I will miss you!<br><br>-Molly

Well, this is just a welcome to my newly-formed travel blog. I've been in Holland for most of the summer, and I am going home in a day and a half to spend the next two weeks with my family. Holland has been good for me... I don't think I could have spent another summer working at my high school job in Red Wing. But hey, who says you can't go home?<br>

... moves to another day, as that's the day we're doing the sunrise tour of Stonehenge/Bath/Lacock. Saturday is the day trip to Oxford; I hope it doesn't rain that day, either. Just about everything else we're doing involves being indoors at museums, so I don't care if it rains every other day we're there. Well, not much left to do now but finish packing. We will probably be in England next time I post! Hopefully I'll have a picture or two to share.

... remember this trip by! I only wish I could have figured out how to get some of them uploaded onto this blog to share. Maybe our next adventure I'll have it figured out. This was my first try at a blog, so I feel good just getting something down in writing for every day of travel. It's good to travel. It's good to see the way others live. It's good to be home. Hope you enjoyed this journey with us as much as we did! Joan and Joe

... list, I was disappointed by how little I did the items on my list. My buddy, Adam "Johnny" Rohr, commented: "What are we living for?" On the eve of my twenty-seventh birthday, I made a vow: "I, Justin Breen, on this, the 25th of October 2006, vow, out of dueful respect and love for myself, that I will partake in at least one activity from a dynamic list of ASE´s (Acts of Spontaneous Ecstasy) on every day of my 28th year of life ..."

... shots had so quickly been made. Good from forty feet! My 42-year-old dad came outside soon after, and he got in his first "Competition of the Week" action. He'd led a state champion basketball team while in high school, but a bad shoulder made this large distance tough. Left-handed, he wound up a circle with his arm, and thrust the ball under-handed towards the hoop. He mightaswell have been trying to catch a fish dinner with a frisbee ...

... Luckily, there wasn't a snow fence anywhere near the hill, but there was a large jump, so I'd be sure to keep Tracy away from that. We went down the main hill, which was disappointingly slow and didn't provide the rush we were looking for. So, we ventured into the area's forest trails in search of some real kick-ass sledding. The first hill we came to was a bumpy path surrounded by some trees and a bunch of high school guys. I wasn't sure my sled wouldn ...
