Bloomington Travel Blogs

So today I set my alarm early... for 10:30AM... I had to get out to mail a package.  Yesterday I went to the post office before work and had everything to mail; the magazine, snacks, DVD, book and promo CD's so she can see how to put together a portfolio to get a job (she's graduating college …

I’ve set my mind on some next steps.  I am busily working on putting my Peace Corps application together.  Once that is ready, I’ll send that off and know within a few weeks if I will move onto the next step.  If so, off I go to get a job, any job, to get some money flowing into …

Hello Everyone! This is our first entry for our trip to Europe travel blog. Our goal with this travel blog is to let everyone know how we are doing and what we have been experiencing without calling or emailing individually. We are not planning on bringing a computer with us, so every minute of in…

Ha ha ha!  I just read my little place keeping note and had to laugh.  I wrote "down" instead of "home".  Its funnier that way:  Killing some time at the Mall of America before everyone went down. But yeah, we dropped off Shannon with about 45 minutes to get through security an…

So, I can't figure out how to separate the two different times of day in Bloomington, so they're all together ... the stuff with sun is before the fair, the stuff in the dark is after. :)

As of Feb 2008 I left Australia in order to travel the USA visiting family and friends along the way.

An action packed and eye opening experience so far

Our original plan was to meet for dinner at Kokomo's Island Cafe in the Mall of America's on the third floor. I arrived a bit ea…

We decided to meet at work which is a 15 minute drive for me.  Usually in the morning I set my alarm to go off a half hour before I actually get out of bed and I push snooze the whole time... so needless to say if you textmessage me early I won't get it until last minute... which is what happe…

You know what I wish?  I wish that I had one of those speach activated computers... on my drive out there I had so many ideas and fun things to put in a blog... but sadly with me being back home and not having time to write baecause of my hectic itinerary I didn't have time to write and when I…

Sticky Blog: My home state in all its glory.

I'd been in touch with Irene (irenchen) for about a week and we arranged for me to pick her up at her youth hostel in Minneapolis.  The hostel was a cute brick building that looked like any of the large homes on the street.  Turns out it was only a couple of blocks from one of my work sit…
