Ok...so we have the shots and have bought the Immodium, Pepto and Gravol. In about three and a half weeks we will be heading on our five week adventure. The kids seem to be pretty excited but Em is a little aprehensive because she thinks that everyone will be touching her hair. We are planning to head to some Garifuna communities along the Hondu...

WEll, I am home now, and although its not as cold as I thought it would be, its still a bit of an adjustment. Janice and I had a great time in San Fran, I spent way too much money and got so distracted Janice lost track of me a couple of times, but it all worked out well. We drooled over the food at the food fair, marveled at the endless types o...

Please disregard the last email you received from me (or blogger.com). I'm reverting back to the old blog site that I used before. It's much easier to navigate for both of us!! I'm going to once again do a travel blog for my trip to Guatemala with Habitat for Humanity so that I could share pictures and my experiences with you. I leave Saturday, ...

Well, this past couple of weeks have been brutal...between trying to figure out what my travel plans are and fighting with the airline about changing my tickets from my cancelled trips, I was ready to lose it. ITs like a full time job right now...or maybe it's just the fact that I can't make a decision to save my life...either way, it sucks. Aft...

Hey guys and girls here are some of my photos hope u like :)

Ich glaube ab**, ich sollte mich nicht allzu sehr an diese Leck**ein gewoehnen, denn schliesslich du**fte dann ab morgen (um meinen Vat** zu ziti**en) "ein and**** Wind wehen". Am Fruehstueckstisch l**nte ich Ash kennen, einen...

Ok. So I promised a wrap-up to my year away. I promised it and never delivered. Don't be fooled by the date, its actually November 5. I am lying to you. But I figure I might as well enter the final entry one year to the day I left. The reason there has been no wrap-up, no summary, no reflection was deep inside (heck not even deep inside, superfi...

After one night in Calgary, my entire family and my cousins, aunt and uncle piled into a hire car and headed off to the Banff National Park for 3 nights in a chalet. It's pretty amazing that within an hour of driving from Calgary, you can be smack-bang in the middle of the Canadian Rockies. The scenery is absolutely spectacular, and can't really...

Ah, the day after Valentine's Day. It is snowing out and is finally cold. Are we actually getting a winter? It has been such a warm winter - completely uncharacteristic of a Canadian Winter. I hope there hasn't been a lot of people who have come to Canada this winter for the sole purpose of seeing exactly how cold it gets and how much snow we ge...

Spent all day looking for houses today - tried to take pictures of some of the potential properties, but apparently it's ILLEGAL to take pictures (at least according to our agent). Not sure who would give me a hard time -- wouldn't want to end up in a Turkish prison a la Midnight Express. Saw a GORGEOUS condo with a view of the Rockies - we're l...
