We're in the province of Shaanxi the city Xi'an. Flying into Beijing we've been on the go since day one. So far we've cover all the main sites we set out to do. Ate at so many markets haggled with so many store vendors that I'm ready to chill. This burning sensation in my head h http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/China/Shaanxi/Xi-an/blog-234314.html Today is a good day. Yes this is it. Some of you may have heard me talk about chasing that feeling of being grounded and content Today I feel it. Although I've been in KL for almost a month now seeing friends and relatives still seem like a neverending feat Can't remember the last time I've slept in any one place for more than 2 nights in a row. I get it. Some of the questions I've set out see http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Malaysia/Wilayah-Persekutuan/Kuala-Lumpur/blog-137708.html Hey guys look Our pictures made it into Sunny's magazine.

The flight out of Cairo went well. Met Hue that was incidentally on another overland tour from Jordan to Cairo. The sworn enemy of Oasis...and apparently according to them Oasis is shite.

London is an entire civilization http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Greater-London/blog-163596.html Got into Cairo this morning on an overnight bus from Dahab. You are looking at a newly certified advance open water diver I am oh so proud of myself can you tell The last 4 dives were fabulous. Definitely up to Red Sea standard or have I already said that.

My 5 dives were Naturalist Drift Underwater p http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Egypt/Lower-Egypt/Cairo/blog-162778.html Again let me begin by saying...WOW It just never ceases to amaze me how amazing life is. I know I've gone to a good place when diving is involved. Three dives later I've decided to finally do my advance diving course. How cool is that that I get to do it here in Egypt The price is comparable to Malaysia and Thailand maybe just a little bit more. That's gonna throw a bit ok a kink into my http://www.travelblog.org/Africa/Egypt/Sinai/Dahab/blog-162087.html Well kids that looks like it for Jordan. We're at the border town of Aqaba by the Red Sea. I've been looking forward to this for a lonnnnnng time. Tomorrow if all goes well I'll be going diving in Dahab. Yes Can't wait man...Until now we haven't really gotten a chance to actually sit and write without being under a time crunch. This whole internet cafe hopping thing is so not cool.
