... Explorer LT($230) backpack, Vasque Men's wide Breeze Gortex XCR Lightweight Hiking Boots($125), and some really comfy socks($8). Pretty costly but considering I'll be living out of these products for months, it's well worth the investment. Next I'm considering a laptop. A reason for this is to continue blogging, upload pictures, and make phone calls in ...

... planned it. A few days went by of questioning my decision and she started to realize the other side. She has then became way more accepting she's even planning a trip of her own after college! I cannot explain how happy I was to have someone I love very much accept this. Now the hard part, telling my parents. My grandma has travelled to a few countries and I've always thought of her as being very wise, I had no trouble here. My mother on the other hand, not so much. She liked the idea of 3 ...

... the lives they have today, and the promise they hold for tomorrow. These jumbled thoughts swirled around in my mind until finally I fell asleep somewhere near the North Pole. Soon enough, we had landed and I found myself corralled into lines at customs. An older man a few spots in front of me argued heatedly with a customs official. Yes I have agricultural produce and no I don't need to declare it. Trust me, it's got no disease. Damn Feds won't leave me ...

... last week, but got lost wandering around in the early morning and had to literally RUN back to work to make it in on time. Thankfully, the Chinese visa fees are much less than the Russian visa fees, so same day visa service is only $10 more than what I paid at the Russian consulate. Here are my plans for today: 1. Drop off Visa application at Chinese consulate 2. Visit orthodontist for 2 months supply of invisalign trays (just because ...

It's the anticipation that is the most annoying part. It's the details, the contemplation, the preparation that can be truly irritating as well. My daily, normal life can be overwhelming, that is why this transition - from preparation, details, and anticipation - to raw, moving, in-the-present adventure can be difficult. My daily life is so very different from my adventures "on holiday." Although I am re-embracing the ...

My thoughts on EWR airport that wile it is large it is to be expected just like everyother airport. I was able to buy stamps but then there was no where to send the letters. I asked a guy at the shoe sine place if there was a post box and when he said no... he said he would send them out for me.. since they were just xmas cards i thought it would be ok. So if everyone doesnt get their cards its because i geve them to a weirdo.. and I am sorry. Well on to the next spot...OSLO!!.. love jes

... in some toilet paper, tissues, notebook, and other random stuff... and then the carry-on stuff. I brought a pillow, which took up literally half of one of my carry-on suitcases... I brought some pictures, although I have to print some more out cause I couldn't seem to find my large box of pictures... then I got my important papers and such... and was done packing... score! I finished packing at ...

... yes, even better than Les Mis!!) We couldn't believe how moving it is to be close enough that you can see real tears pouring down the characters cheeks, get spat on when they belt out their songs, and have their solos directed at us!! At one stage we both got stage fright because the characters were so close their spotlights fell on us too!!!!!!! We are official RENTheads!!! ...No day but today!

I'm just sitting here in bed, enjoying the tv/vcr configuration I just set up. I'm very glad that school is over now, it was tough getting all the stuff home, but it's all good. I just need to pack for Italy, clean up all the stuff in the livingroom, and go to the airport. It's pretty crazy. About 24 hours ...
