TravBuddy.com: tylerkenefick's Backpacking 2004 to 2005 travel blog Copyright 2005 TravBuddy LLC http://www.travbuddy.com/blogs/1577 when i was in high school college and all that didn't seem like type of life i wanted to live and i most certainly didn't want to end up in a typical routine. i wanted to do something where i could really do anything i want. since traveling always inspired me i decided instead of college to go away for a little while. i picked out Australia just because i didn't know too much about it and it seemed like a interesting place to visit, i planned to be away for about four months. en-us Tue, 13 Sep 2005 18:05:54 PST 16 hr layover http://www.travbuddy.com/travel-blogs/1577/16-hr-layover-Los-Angeles-26 Tue, 13 Sep 2005 18:05:54 PST 16 hr layover Los Angeles, California, Sep 13, 2005
