Super 8 Fort Wayne

11:52pm

OK we have done the final gather of "stuff"....from spatulas to spare batterys and have the Honda Oddessey preliminarily packed for the big adventure! We start tomorrow after Tom works the morning and Maria gets home from a half day of school. We can't wait!

The plan is to drive to Indy and drop the kids and Lauren off at the Indianapolis Zoo while Tish and I pick up the RV and do an orientation......a TWO HOUR orientation! They ...

... I lost my mind a little and convinced myself I might freeze to death after my gas ran out and I started willing off my items to friends. Stephanie told me to go snuggle with some truckers. I'm glad it didn't come to that, although there would have been plenty to choose from! I was very glad to get home.

... their second trip to Hawaii. Our flight leaves from Fort Wayne airport (Indiana) tomorrow at 6am, which means we will have to get up super early in order to arrive in time to check in for the flight. We are flying on Delta with one lay-over in Atlanta then straight through to Honolulu. If all goes well, we will be in Honolulu at 3:10pm (their time)!

... arrived at 2pm and due to rain there was nothing to do we decided to continue our trip towards Indiana in order to gain some ground. This decision was a lucky one as the whole area that we were going to drive through was starting to flood and had we waited another 24 hours we would have been stuck for another couple of days or more. Unluckily we tried to contact the people we were going to meet at Belleville on their mobile but US public phones have posed a ...

The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays right up there with Thanksgiving. Holidays always make me think of spending time with my family. Now that I am leaving for Paraguay soon, for who knows how long, I am going to have less of these times with the crazyness that is my family. This causes me to think about the enormity of the plan that I have put into ...

My desire to begin an extraordinary journey has been burning for some time, and, although all of the pieces are not fully connected, the ideas and images in my mind strike me as full reality. I could not even tell you from where this inclination to explore has come, nor to where it will lead. I do know that just pondering limestone cliffs over crystal blue waters is ...

... yet). I slept through breakfast on the flight to Athens and woke up in time to see the amazing view of Athens as we flew in! It was incredible! Once we had our luggage, our professors informed us that their goal was to keep us awake for the next few hours. So we unpacked, toured the Artemis Hotel (our campus) and had orientation. Then Mr. Mayhan took the group on a ...

... tent! Quite a luxury! We both fell asleep after about 5 minutes. Great night!

I slept great last night...a little too good I think. We've gotten so used to sleeping in the tent and waking up when it starts to get light outside that we both slept much later today than we have been. We finally got up (and got our free continental breakfast!) and headed into the city. We found a parking lot right beside a ...

... eternally grateful as you needed them after several of these cars had passed by. To put into context, these cars are 2.8 Liter engines, clocking 19,500 RPM - that is Obscene, and the noise that accompanies the sound is equally so. We watched the Qualifying, whilst eagerly waiting on news of England's World Cup Quarter-Final against Portugal. You can imagine our dismay when the Alonso fans jumped for joy as ...

Hi** in den USA ist alles größ**, schön** und bess**. Menschen und Bildung w**den nicht als Entitäten des Geistes sond**n als Ware angesehen.
