Oh boy. Day 3 was an action packed day. Not only did we see the world's largest truck stop (gasp!...and no we didn't visit) we ended up in Lincoln, NE home of the cornhuskers! What a formidable sounding foe. I'm trembling just imaging the terror that they must inspire in their opponents when they step onto the football field (this trip has a lot of football going on....).<br><br>Another 8 hours in the ...

... monogramed JD towels and wash cloths would look good in any Master Bathroom.<br><br>Once I put my tongue back into my mouth we headed west along I80. At Des Moines we cut down I35 to route 34 then south on 59 and back west on 2 into Lincoln, NE. This is the real America, where real people do the real work. Where homes are seperated by vaste fields of grain. Where towns are few and far ...

Alright, i'm still at home and getting ready to go to the airport. My nerves are shot and i'm kinda sad that i'm leaving everyone for 2 weeks!! But it's going to be amazing and i just know everyone will be reading this and commenting to keep me happy and entertained... RIGHT????!!!!!<br><br>Also, i will miss my cats. ;)<br>

Well, it's been a long time planning and it's almost here. I've got only 46 hours left before i leave for France. I do hope you'll join me on my 2 week excursion to Europe. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you may even be appalled, but in any case you'll have nearly as much fun as me (ok, let's be honest, not even close, but you'll be alright). Talk to you soon!!<br><br>TTFN <br>

... Then there's the mental preparation. We're going to be gone for a year or so. To put that into perspective, tons of young adults study abroad for a year. It's nothing! But I have had bad dreams where we leave too soon with unfinished business, forgetting to empty the apartment, cancel our lease, forgetting my bag of clothes, or the netbook. <br>Then I had a good bye dream. It was very moving. <br><br> It's hard to believe it's happening. <br> <br>

After a short drive from Omaha we made it to Lincoln, Nebraska. The small town home to the University of Nebraska. We parked on campus and walked around looking for places to take photos. We had some fun playing on some of the statues and goofing off. We saw alot of ...

We traveled north through Oklahoma and Kansas (via I 35;I 135; US 81) for 12 hours. Finally, after traveling for 12 hours, we found a place to stop!!! It was nice having our RV to just park. It was 48 degrees, Tuesday Morning, in Grand Island, NE!!!

Today, Friday, was another driving day. OK Nebraska rivals Nevada for the worst state ever to drive through! We already described Nevada. Nebraska is desolate and flat the sand of Nevada is traded for wheat fields. Fortunately today was a short (320 mile) day. We arrived in Grand Island at around 5:00 and immediately headed for the pool. It was hot outside. We swam, ate dinner and swam some more. The night was ...

... Security Guard on the door, was very confused when we presented two of the finest European Driving Licences as ID. You would have thought we'd have given him something written in Dutch (or a handful of poo) the way he looked at it. He grabbed his walkie-talkie and said (in a slightly urgent style) "Code 1 South Door, Code 1 South Door".. I looked around thinking some sort of terrorist activity was happening or someone had a gun, assuming that Code 1 would be ...

Hi Everyone, Our entry is titled "Thanksgiving" for a very good reason. We spent many Thanksgiving holidays with Larry and Laurie Ann and their three girls and LA prepared a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner for us last night. We arrived save and sound in Lincoln yesterday around 6:30 pm after a hard ride of 490 miles - 250 of them in the rain - our ...
