It seems like American business is built on customer service.  Competition has forced businesses in the US to become efficient, inexpensive, and offer a certain level of customer service that is virtually unknown anywhere else.  You can order a pizza online and have it at your house in 30…

As soon as I picked up my cousin Mar from the Raleigh/Durham airport, we set off on our cross country journey.  Equipped with the 2006 National Parks Pass, we planned to visit as many National Parks, Monuments, and Seashores as we could along the way.  Our first stop was the Outer Banks o…

My birthplace and my home. The capital of North Carolina and the second largest city in the state. "The City of Oaks" is one of the fastest growing cities in the US.

Well, its 8:30 AM here in NC. I was up at 5:30 AM, showered, verified luggage and "stuff", made sure I had everything I needed. Of course, you know you will always forget something, but if it's not in the bags then I guess I don't need it!  Headed out to the airport and am now sitting at Ralei…

A few pictures from my travels =)

Our Europe Vacation is nearing and we are all realy excited and cant wait.

We woke up at 4:15 AM to leave for the airport. From Chapel Hill to Raleigh is a ½ hour drive, but we left a bit earlier than we actually had to. It’s a good thing we did, too, as the line up at the airport was insane! Not helping matters any was the mandatory self check-in. What an inconvenienc…

Well I'm sitting here at RDU waiting to board my plane. I'm heading from here to Raleigh and then onto Seattle. So far everything looks on time. We'll see how long it lasts! Once I get to Seattle I'll be finding my way out to Vashon Island where I'm staying for the next few days. I'll write more on…
