Refreshing Hello Jason
thank you for articulating what a 'traveler' sees and feels when coming to a land that nobody quite calls home (at least out loud). Although you might feel it at first, you are not so different from most the locals. They listen to Rush. They make fun of the other culture. They have a sense of humor if you know what joke to tell. It is all about knowing what joke to tell - and that isn't that hard when it comes down to it.
Blame Jen... I like the idea! Yep he's 9 months now, a big boy just like his daddy - but still a little peanut. Back when we were in the The Ppines he was only 9 weeks... I'll have to get Lyon's to edit your comments;-) hope ur gearing up for Pakistan!
Man, you made it back! I read your fantastic blog on Mindanao and Palawan when you were single...now you're maui'ed and a proud father.
Congratulations!
As always, what a great blog! And you still have the travel bug.
I'm not really sure how or why I get your blogs sent to my email, maybe it has something to do with the fact that I used to have a travelblog account, but I ocassionally do read yours and they always inspire me and I end up with an even longer list of new countries I want to visit! Hope you're having an amazing trip!
