Woke up at the crack of dawn to go to the Amazon jungle today. Naturally I went mad on the DEET and after a breakfast of Oreos and crackers yep they sell Oreos in Bolivia pretty much everywhere..we set off via boat. I joined a group of married couples similar age to me....see life doesnt end after marriage... I still think its too young to get married though..28. The tour guide Antonio is 2

We arrived yesterday to Seward which is on the Kenai Peninsula. It must be the most beautiful place in the world mountains everywhere glaciers waterfalls Resurrection Bay creeks wildlife spruce trees. It is like combining the best of Oregon and Colorado and adding steroids. Jaden and I challenged ourselves with a four hour sea kayak tour from 711 pm while Kevin Dax and Blaze went on a

Seward was awesome Itrsquos a really nice town. Seward is pretty small but it is right next to the ocean which is pretty cool. We stayed at a RV park in a little place called Millerrsquos Landing. The first night we were there we went deep sea fishing for salmon and other fish. We went from 5 to 9pm. The weird part was that only one person caught a salmon. Everyone else caught black bass

I went fishing in Seward. Jaden and mom went kayaking. When we went fishing I saw a orca. We also ate black bass in Seward it tasted really good. We went camping yesterday. We returned our Rv today.

It was wonderful to wake up and hear Rowanrsquos little cute voice in our camper. He came up to our bed right away After breakfast we made a plan for the next three days. We started out by going to Target to get rowanrsquos supplies for the week. It was easier to buy them here than to haul everything on the plane. We brought his carseat from Carson. Then we went to visit Uncle Dick. Daisy wa

Well wersquove been in Mumbai almost one week but not quite yet and it feels like forever. Thatrsquos not a bad thing at all. Itrsquos just that therersquos been so much to do and see although we feel like wersquove barely scratched the surface. Partly this is because our sleeping patterns are still crazy. Our bodies are just not adjusting quickly enough Itrsquos getting better tho

Amazing surprisingly great inspiring awe or admiration or wonderItrsquos amazing what can happen when you get 7 people of all different ages from numerous different backgrounds with different interests and skills and somewhat completely different personalities and put them together to form a group. That group quickly becomes a team when they spend 24 hours a day together sleep in the same

After brekkie we jumped in the car and headed towards the worlds crookedest street which is not too far from the Hotel. Lombard Street is the worldrsquos crookedest street and it is famous for the sharp turns and being very steep. We drove down and took a few pics

However finding the general idea of the post is usually where the difficulty lies so therefore choosing a title isn't always so easy.

Bonjour tout le mondeJe vous cris de Bali o je viens de passer la dernire semaine. Je n'ai pas vraiment fait de visites culturelles ici parce que les manifestations culturelles se trouvaient surtout dans des endroits assez loigns par rapport aux villes o je me trouvais. La seule chose que j'ai vue est le monument ddi aux victimes de l'attentat terroriste d'octobre 2002. C'est touchant de

Bay of Fundy and Hopewell Rocks has 45 foot tides. It is incredible. There's so much history here whalers Acadians Dutch BasqueEnglish German. One town might be all German names and the next was settled by Scotsmen. Lunnenburg has a monument to the Men who go down to the sea in ships. In 192627 this tiny village lost over 200 men and boys to storms at sea.

We slept late and then got the camper situated at aunt Jean's. We needed to do some shopping and we wanted to go downtown and see the mall. Nancy bought a green fleece jacket with a wolf on it. I've worn it just about every day since We went to visit Uncle Dick in the nursing home. It was so nice to see him and visit with him We had a great evening of talking and laughing at Aunt Jean's.The ne

We stayed at a great resort it's too bad they don't give us time to use all the amenities. The Cabot trail is rugged and wild. The Reconstructed Fortress of Louisburg with actors playing roles is amazing in it's reality. We had a whale watching trip on really rough water. Five people puking on a small boat is not pretty. Saw some Northern pilot whales up close and personal.

Our last evening in Hoi An was great. We went to a cooking class with 5 others from the group taught by a local chef. We cooked spring rolls fish squid and sweet chilli sauce and wontons and were then able to enjoy our hard work by eating the food Was a lot of fun and got some recipes to try for when we're back home We then walked along the river and bought a lantern from one of the many stree

The day started off quite badly. I woke up at 7.30am to get ready for my jungle trip however when I got there they said that they didnt have enough people to do the tour today. Could they not have told me that yesterday before I rearranged hotels here and in La Paz as well as activities and flight back which was at my expense. They said I could do the Pampas tour instead theres more wildlife
