... Spanish, and with that, continuing to improve my chances with the senoritas :) This past trip to Spain was the longest since my first visit there, and it was incredible. It was the first time I've really been fully immersed in the language, with no need to speak even a single word of English, though it was only for the first week of the trip. I'm still merely a tourist in Spain, but this time it felt like ... home ... like I'd finally made a ...

Happy Saturday everyone!

Just wanted to drop a line and make sure this blog thingy works before we head out! We have 3 days to finish packing and organizing our paperwork, and then we board our plane for Fiji via LAX.

We have an 8 hour stop-over in LA so I'm hoping to check it out...might be fun to see the beaches and/or shopping areas! After that we have an 11 ...

What is it like to come back home after being gone for so long? The truth is, everything is so familiar that you almost forget how long you were gone after a few days.

We were picked up at the airport by my parents, and a slew of friends who surprised us. It was great to see everyone ...

... given to a friend (keeping in mind this person as well as myself are good people who would never hurt others in the name of being true to ourselves): Be true to who *you* are first. Think about you first not you in relation to others. Not how one decision will make someone else feel but how it will make you feel because you are the only person you have to live with for the Rest of your Life. So you better learn how to ...

I am finally out of here! Too bad it is only for a week. But I feel like this is an important day in my life; a new beginning to something remarkable. I am only a few hours away from my flight now and quite anxious to get going and see things swing ...

... ve got a MASSIVE Gym (twice the size of any gym I've seen), an Olympic pool with Steam Rooms, Hot tubs, Squash courts, an indoor running track, gymnasiums, and this is all besides they're huge fields. I'll have pictures of this soon, as I'd like to include pictures of the bike tracks we'll be going on. The Zoo was awesome, they had tons of funny animals. I had a freakin peacock jump at me, and had to ...

... to Tim Hortons for a disappointing roast beef sandwich. Unless you're a midget, child or your stomach has been stapled it's really not worth the money. Before too long Steve arrived and scuppered our plans. One option was for Graham to wander up and casually ask for directions to his house to freak him oot. We settled on Graham pretending to be a taxi driver, but I was just aboot the take the top off my marker to make a sign when the familiar phrase good ...

... where the 1988 Winter Olympic Games were held. It was really cool and if we had some more time and money I would have loved to go down the Bobsled track. Then we did some shopping and later that night on to see the Calgary Flames play the New Jersey Devils. The Flames did a lot better than the Oilers did and it was a double shut-out at the end of regulation. However 35 secs into OT the devils scored on a breakaway to win 1-0.

... heat of the African summer, the roar of a lion that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand on end....I can hardly wait. I remember some 7 years ago flying over to Africa for the first time almost feeling sick I was so apprehensive and nervous - The kind of feeling that I use to get before the final football game in high school. I can feel that feeling building again even though the trip is a ...
