What can I say about Wichita....... The town is stuck in 1995. The only radio that they play here is country. Mostly from the days when Garth Brooks was king and Diamond Rio was what Rascal Flatts dreamed of becoming. Seriously it's like I've stepped back in High School. Even the classic rock station plays 50s and 60s. Commercials are all from local businesses, trying to sell carpet, or used cars. I guess there is some charm to all this but it makes me realize how far we've come in the past 13 years. This job is tough, I really don't [View Full Entry]

In the past 6 weeks I've been in Baltimore, Washington DC, San Francisco, Kentucky, Indiana, Phoenix, and Nashville. Yeah just like the at&t ads my life has been crazy. Which explains why I haven't had time to write. It's been an adventure if nothing else. I haven't really known if I'm coming or going, and often wake up in my hotel and wonder where I am. I'm currently in Jackson, TN, which I admit isn't nearly as exciting as some of the cities I've been to, but it's given me a little time to think. This is really the kick off [View Full Entry]

Hello again, I'm going to try to keep this up. At least until I get off the road this Spring. As you can tell I made it home just fine. My plane landed on the 6th and I was back to work on the 12th. It's been full on ever since. I spent one week in Nashville but now in the midst of 10 weeks on the road, which will be followed by another 7 weeks on the road. I'll post when I can, mostly just to keep my sanity I'm not really concerned if people are reading it or not. [View Full Entry]

We left Dunedin and headed for the Catlins. Which is the south eastern coast of the south island. It is mostly farmland, there are only a couple towns along the way. One consists of 350 people the other 32 people. It is also known as a haven for seals, sea lions, dolphins, and penguins. We saw all 4 of these creatures but the dolphin was asleep on the beach. The penguin was pretty special though. It was the yellow-eyed penguin which is the rarest in the world. We saw one in the middle of a petrified forest. We also ventured into [View Full Entry]

I left Queenstown around 8:00 in the morning. The bus only had 7 people on it. I expected a bigger crowd but it didn’t really matter. I’m just using it to get from point A to B, C, D, E, and F, and possibly G and then back to A. The bus ride was sort boring. No one was talking and seemed like everyone had too much fun the night before. Most everyone was asleep. I talked a little to a girl from Germany and took a very keen interest in German culture and asked a lot of questions. She didn’t [View Full Entry]

We should probably try to learn proper grammer before we go though! Sorry about that. This country is amazing!! The absolute most beautiful place I could ever imagine. I sat up front next to the driver on the way down mostly to get a good view but also to keep the trip entertaining. I knew he had good taste in music as he had the radio on classic rock. The first song was Ramblin’ Man and then Like a Rolling Stone I could not have chosen more appropriate songs to begin this journey. The weather started out nice but then got [View Full Entry]

I wrote this yesterday but didn’t have time to send it. I made it to Christ church today. I landed around 2:30 and was in my hostel by 3:00. I noticed the weather first thing. It is perfect. Right around 65 degrees. This came as a nice relief compared to the 80 + I experienced in Sydney. I also noticed how small Christchurch is. According to the driver of the shuttle it’s about 400,000 people making it the 3rd largest city in New Zealand. But it feels very small absolutely no high rises and really feels like a big village as [View Full Entry]

I wrote this last night but didn't get it published before my time expired. I'm now in the Sydney airport. So I broke my camera. A sad day. That little camera and I had become pretty close friends over the past 3 months. It fell off a stand in front of the opera house as I was trying to take a picture of me in my kentucky shirt. I still have all the pictures but the camera is smashed. I'll try to get a new one in christchurch but not sure what I'll be able to find/afford. It was a nice [View Full Entry]

So I figured I could write my blog on word and then post it on the internet and save time. Today I went down to Manly Beach. It is known as a surfer’s paradise and to locals is better than Bondhi. You have to take a 30 min. ferry to get there. The ferry docks on one side of the island and the beach is on the other side. As I was walking there I noticed a giant penguin standing with a bunch of kids and a crowd around. Turns out there was a penguin conservation meeting going on for the [View Full Entry]

So Friday night was my last night in Melbourne. One of the girls took me out for some last drinks on the town. It was fun but ment I only got 3 hours of sleep before I had to catch my 5:00 am flight to Sydney. I made it to Sydney yesterday I was in my hostel by 10AM. The hostel is cool not done the hostel thing very much but I'm in an 8 bed room with one other guy and 6 girls. So I immediately went exploring as soon as I could lock up my stuff. I went to [View Full Entry]
