                    <description> Yala National Park  Thump thump thump. Haley and I quickly look up at the ceiling of our bungalow in Sri Lanka's Yala National Park.  We had not planned on seeing any wildlife until our safari tomorrow morning but the noise on our roof clearly wasn't from the Whitebreasted Kingfisher we saw earlier  or the wild boar that chased us unto our porch just 30 minutes ago.  It was a large troop o</description>

                    <description>Interlaken SwitzerlandInterlaken is a small town tucked away between two huge alpine lakes in the Swiss Alps.  When the weather is warm it is an outdoor enthusiasts dream  with everything from skydiving to zoorbing going down a hill inside of an inflated ball. I spent just under a week here  after my adventures in Spain and France and it was COLD. I had previously spent almost two weeks her</description>

                    <description>We left Luxor on a late night flight out of the local airport and arrived in Sharm El Shek around 1130pm. We had arranged for a driver from our hotel to pick us up but he was no where too be found. So here we are sitting at the local terminal at midnight in Sharm Egypt trying to figure out how the hell we were going to get to Dahab which was over an hour away.

                    <description>Haley and I had to end our Christmas celebrations with my family in Stanton VA a little early so that we could begin our long trek to Egypt.  After a 3 hour drive a 5 hour bus ride and a 10 hour flight we arrive in Cairo.  A trip that only took us a day or so but when we stepped out of the airport we both felt a world away.  I am continually amazed that I can get into a plane in New York City a</description>

                    <description>We took full advantage of Tims' hospitality and not only showered but  washed some of our  clothing.  Amber was actually ended up doing it and she turned it into a bit of a game  who has the dirtiest clothing. The level of dirtiness was measured by how many rinses it took before the water didn't turn black anymore.  I am proud to say that the original Schwalm family jeff and I both tied at li</description>

                    <description>My brother  and his wife  are both teachers so they are blessed with a summer break.  This year for their break they went on a cross country trip I was lucky enough to convince them to let me join the road trip for the Las Vegas Nevada to Portland Oregon leg.  It is very much a national parks and camping oriented trip which suited me very well as I have been eager to do some camping.Las VegasLa</description>

                    <description>Imagine that you are on a long road trip and want to get out of the car to stretch your legs or go to the bathroom behind a tree or get a closer angle for a picture of a bird. Then think of the feeling that you get when you realize that if you do get out of the car you could potentially be  EATEN by a LION . That is the only way that I can convey the feeling that is ever present while in South A</description>

                    <description>Since this blog is so old I will just add a short description. This was our mine and haley's second trip to Puerto Rico and we really wanted to explore as much as possible. On our first trip we did what everyone seemed to recommend and stayed in the north eastern corner where we took in the rain forests and the white sand islands. This time we wanted to try to see a side of Puerto Rico that mo</description>

                    <description> On our last day in Yangshuo one of my favorite destinations ever we decided to rent a scooter and check out as much of the countryside as possible. Our butts and legs were still somewhat sore from the mountain biking adventures on the previous day. Finding a scooter that would fit the both of us was somewhat difficult.  I had  a handdrawn map a scooter with a full battery and an eager girlfr</description>
