Elizabeth City NC to Camp Lejeune NC Oct 30 Nov 5 2010 We had heard that Elizabeth City NC was very friendly to cruisers and we found that they definitely live up to their reputation. They first start off by providing free dockage to cruiserrsquos for up to 2 nights and longer if the weather keeps you there as they want you to be safe. They also have quite a bit to offer for a smal

Well Fall has hit and it's dragging us along for the ride of cold mornings and lots of rainy days which equals Snow on the Mountain's yippy. Temperture wise we have been anywhere from 3 14's and the long range forecast is saying lots of cold days coming up with some mixes of Snow and Rain in the Village which is very exciting to. Also with the cold temps means Snow making in the Alpine whi

Schlo Neuschwanstein is one of the many castles built by King Ludwig II during his reign. King Ludwig II is known also as the ldquofairy tale kingrdquo because of this and the many other castles he built. Neuschwanstein was unfortunately never finished. Before the castle could be finished Ludwig was forced to abdicate by the members of government because he was so deep in debt from build

I have started this trip completely unprepared for what was coming.I knew nothing about Mexico City but did not care.I met up with some old friends and crashed on their couch in the East Queen St. area near Broadview Ave.My first night the 28th was just some relaxing and laughing while we talked about the things that had happened since I we had last hung out. It had been years since we had seen

I went and saw the Anthropology Museum which houses most of the stuff I have been looking at in books.It is the middle of Cautehauc or something like that Park.It was really awesome to see. It is one of the best if not the best museum I have ever been in.The Aztec Sun Stone and scale model of old Tenochtitlan blew me away. There were exhibits on Oaxaca and the Maya and Pacific as well as Atl

Het is al weer even geleden maar hier is mijn nieuwe berichtje uit NicaraguaVorige week had ik voor het laatst spaanse les en toen heb ik mijn diploma ontvangen. Ik had toen ook al een paar keer gewerkt met Ritmo en los Barrios De organisatie waar ik werk en daarmee muziekles geef aan kinderen op verschillende scholen. De mensen daar zijn echt heel erg aardig en het is allemaal goed geregeld. Z

After 5 months backpacking around the world I've picked up some rather bad habits the swearing a new found love of extreme sports beer Oreos the list goes on but what have I learnt Irsquom a lot more ballsy and assertive than I used to be. With my slightly addictive personality I throw myself into things fully. I can live without a lot of things I thought were almost essential to

We also got up early to go on to the Floating Market halfday tour which we had booked. Most of the time was spent in the Bangkok traffic. The market itself was also not at all as I remembered it see . Seventeen years ago it was a fruit and vegetable market now it had been totally taken over by the tourists. There was not a banana in sight.When I went to the Floating Market last time all our p

Its a long gradual descent from the mountains to the Moroccan coast. The landscape becomes greener and we pass through an extensive area of citrus and olive orchards before arriving in Agadir 9 hours later. In 1960 this city was devastated by a large earthquake and it has been rebuilt to create one of the premiere coastal resorts in the country. Its just a brief stop for us here as 14 foot waves

Als wir es von Daian erfahren koennen wir es zunaechst gar nicht glauben es gibt ein Oktoberfest in Mexico City Am Sonntag dem 4. Tag unserer Reise erleben wir Unglaubliches. Aufbruch mit yu erwartender Verspaetung von Daians Wohnung um ca. 12.00 Uhr. Ihr Freund Udi mit dem wir uns yuvor treffen wollen kommt nach. Er verlaesst seine Wohnung der Haustuerschluessel nicht. Er muss auf den Sch

Prague I arrived with my parents on Thursday afternoon and as we waited for my grandparents to arrive we did a lot of walking around. One of the first things we were surprised at was the number of pickpockets and other various types of unusual people. It was definitely a lot rougher than germany. But it was a beautiful day and we saw a lot of things even in the short time that we walked around.

Beer. It’s a wonderful thing. But, this particular Brew Master – yes, Kris Kalav is a Brew Master in the work-a-day world – prefers rum, martinis or the occasional umbrella cocktail. He has recently begun blogging about his various travels and some very interesting encounters. Oh, beer will be mentioned at some point. Brew Master…

This site is brought to you by “Poo Vision, Inc.” – or so states the blog introduction. (Might just be true…) Justin is a British ex-pat living in Russia with his wife and young son. He is also a stay-at-home-dad. His entries are a mix of ex-pat tips, child-rearing “lessons learned” and “how tos” for creating a new life in Moscow – all with a humorous twist.

Given the gravity of the game and the high quality well debatable of the competition I thought the Huskers deserved a blog dedicated to their outstanding performance against Mizzou. First off way to go Roy Helu. Your quality of character makes you one deserving rushing yards record holder. Second I like your style T Magic. You're turning into the exact kind of quarterback who will lead Nebr

The flight from New York to Hong Kong was good. Although tired the second flight from Hong Kong to Chengdu went smoothly with just enough leg room in the front aisle bulkhead seat. The Chengdu arrival was at about 1030 at night Wednesday. Traveling from New York to Chengdu you lose two days because of flying time and then the time change. I was picked up at the airport by friends with a big SUV

Today was second day around Angkor temples first around the major sights. We approached the day as if we had just paid premium dollar for front row stalls at a major stand up comedian ldquoImpress Usrdquo. To be fair it did. Kath and I on our 1perday rental bicycles sam on his 5 bike we ticked off them all apart from Angkor Wat itself saved for sunrise the next day. My London cyclin

Second 430am start in 3 days This time to see Angkor Wat at sunrise. Truly it is an exceptional sight. Both of us are pretty backward at appreciating the typical tourist sights ldquomusem legs generally kick in after half an hour max but even for us it was pretty much ldquowowrdquo as we watched the sun crept up from behind the silhouette of the five towers munching happily on banana p

Saturday 30th OctoberToday was spent touring the killing fields and S21 prison at Phnom Penh driven round by our slight crazy but amazingly informative tuk tuk driver Peter. Peter was aged 1215 when the Khmer rouge regime was at its height in 19751978 and so was able to tell us firsthand about what it was like being here at this time. He was clearly keen to pass on his knowledge as he spent a

Yes indeed I certainly will...this is a magical city with treasures for everyone. This will probably be my final blog until sometime in a week or so after I get to a city that has a different type of treasure to offer...Cairo. I went to Harlem one day. The first thing I saw when I got off the subway was someone wearing a tshirt that said I'm Black...Please Don't Shoot. Shocked at first but
