It's been a LONG and exhausting week!  Though we all know I'm a procrastinator (but only when it comes to personal things, never business!), I might be the queen of them all.  Not only did I have a ton to do but I worked the whole week too.  I not only planned this trip, but also had…

We were out in Los Angeles for my wife's 20 year college reunion and met up with four TB members for a great big breakfast at Dinah's. We flew from Indianapolis the night before on a Northwest Airbus 319 and arrived into LAX at about 8:30pm.   Our hotel was the Renaissance at LAX, and wa…

so Kelly (Kelleeoo) and I were down in Los Angeles with 2 pillows and cameras. There seems to be a national event and everyone was game to beat each other up.  You may just say that it is Los Angeles and that's the way of life there.  This was something special. We took the pillows out …

It never ceases to amaze me how beautiful life is when you have great friends around. And then they leave and it's literally cold and cloudy. Ragnar took his warmth and sunny disposition with him back to the UK - I'm sure that's why it's freezing and overcast today!! =(We sent off Ragnar in what I …

When I booked my flight to travel to Asia, I think I might have purposely chosen the itinerary of getting a 9 nine hour layover in L.A. in hopes of meeting up with some TB friends in SoCal that I hadn't seen for over a year. And it actually turned out better than I had hoped for, because Alice (ali…

The first of December of 2007, I lift to my hotel in Brisbane - Australia at 8:00 am. (Local Time) to reach at the airport in that city to 9:30 am. and starting with destiny to Los Angeles  - USA at 12:15 pm. (Australia time). The flight lasted about 13 hours to arrive at Los Angeles at 7:30 a…

Preparing for a country like Ghana is a pretty tedious thing to do.  There are the necessary immunizations, medications, buying proper gear and clothing, obtaining a visa, etc.  I would recommend starting your preparations at least one month before your trip, as some vaccines and meds tak…

Mostly the road trips... 2 main road trips, one is to Niagara and New England area, second is to NYC by southern highways.. In addition to my Illinois life, there is also a 10 day California trip... But this for just now :))

It was absolute kismet that during the break for my multinational finance class I walked over to get a hot chocolate and an older gentleman who couldn't contain himself was telling everyone "the eclipse! the lunar eclipse!" So I walked out to join him and was just in time to observe it. At first, I…

I've been meaning to write a reflective entry about my first trip to Africa for a bit now, since it's been just over 1 year ago. Everytime someone asks me about my trip, my eyes tend to glaze over and I find myself in this really happy place that I've somehow managed to carry back with me! I really…

It was a sunny fall day and I had no plans except to chill out at home.  My best friend called up to find out what I was up to and basically said I'll pick you up...we're going to the zoo!  Now how could I pass up spending time with my best friend, her daughter (my goddaughter), and her i…

We haven't got a ton of experience with flying, so we were a little nervous about getting from our arrival gate to our departure gate in Los Angeles.  Our last experience with doing that was in Detroit on our return from Europe.  And that one meant a walk from one end of the air terminal …

this blog will be mostly photographic.I will add more photos soon, but right now I'm focusing on the Peru blog. :)

It's funny, it's been about a year and a half since I got back from Portugal. Done a lot of traveling since then, met a lot of people, learned some things along the way. Despite the fact that I don't really talk to any of the team members from that trip - I've kept in surprisingly good touch with t…

I only became aware of this trip last Friday morning and am leaving in less than 12 hours. After rushing to downtown LA to process an express visa, rescheduling a bunch of other things, and hurriedly packing, I am almost ready to go. Caffeine is my friend (even that weak, insipid Starbucks brew!).&…
