5/30 - We left Santiago and flew to Buenos Aires. We were able to get an earlier flight so we landed around 10:00 pm local time. We landed it was rainy and cool and our driver brought us straight to our hotel. Our hotel was downtown directly on the widest boulevard in the world which I believe was 7 lanes wide each way. The crossing signals needed to be longer unless you are an trained sprinter (which as you can see, I am not). 5/31 - We had the entire day on our own without any planned activities. I used this [View Full Entry]

5/26 I left off my last travel blog in Cusco. That morning we got up and explored a few museums in Cusco. Nothing too spectacular but I was able to find a really bad pair of sunglasses that take up half my face. You will se that in many more pictures to come. We left Cusco that afternoon and flew to Lima then to Santiago. After a long layover in Lima, we boarded our flight to Santiago. I did, however, find cerviche before I left the Lima airport. This is raw fish marinated in lime sauce which I liked very much. [View Full Entry]

5/21 We left Kansas City and flew to Lima via Houston. The flight to Lima wasn't too long and painful. Peru makes you fill out 3 different documents with a lot of questions and then an additional health document. I felt like I was applying for Pervuian citizenship. After going through customs and immigration we were supposed to meet our tour guide outside of customs. We entered the Lima airport with about 100 signs waiting for a pickup - none of which held our names. We waited for about 30 mintues and then started looking around for our names again. After [View Full Entry]

We boarded our 8 hour flight from Tokyo to Bangkok. We had personal TVs again so it made the flight go by a little faster. I slept most of the way over. We exited our plane on to a jetway where we had to take a bus. At midnight the temperature was 85 degrees and muggy. From my little research I learned that Thailand enjoys 3 distinct seasons - cool, hot and rainy. What they mean to say is hot, hot as hell and rainy. We are visiting on the end of cool season and the beginning of the hot season. [View Full Entry]

My first trip to Asia - I started my trip with a 6:30 am flight from KC to Minneapolis. Since I used airline miles to pay for my flight, I didn’t get the chance to pick my route. I went Minneapolis, Portland then to Tokyo. The flights were actually really nice and the planes were ½ full. I got my own TV from Portland to Tokyo so that kept me entertained for my never ending flight. I landed at 6:00 pm Monday evening. I had to meet Patty, Stu and Jess at the hotel which was no where near the airport. [View Full Entry]

I left off from my last travel blog ready to spend my last weekend in Ireland. On Thursday Ray, my co-worker, took me out to play golf. Let me set the background of my golf game. I really like playing but I am awful. My idea of a good time on the golf course is driving the cart, drinking a few beers and enjoying the time with my friends outdoors. I cheat a lot and sometimes don’t keep the score. The 3 guys I was playing with all have a handicap between 10 - 15. I didn’t even know what a [View Full Entry]

My trip: Waterford - Kansas City- New Orleans - Gulf Shores - Kansas City- Shannon - Dublin - Paris - Dublin - Waterford Since the last update I have done some major traveling over the past 2 weeks. After spending 7 straight weeks in Europe, I flew back to the states. I was greeted at the Kansas City airport by my sister who flew in from Baton Rouge to help me celebrate my 30th birthday. That night we went to pick up Maverick (my dog). I was much more excited to see him than I think he was excited to see [View Full Entry]

When I left off of my last travel blog, I was entering the weekend of the famous Waterford Festival known as Spraoi. Everyone has hyped me up for this awesome festival that enthralls the town for the entire weekend. Let’s just say that my expectations were a little too high. The festival didn’t kick off until Saturday mid-afternoon. There were supposed to be street performs, circus acts, and bands all over the town. Everything was free so you just walk around, enjoy a beer and watch the crowds and performers. As expected, it started raining and continued to rain all day [View Full Entry]

I found out last Tuesday that I need to go to London for meetings which were for Wednesday and Thursday. Luckily there is a direct flight from Waterford to Luton Airport in London. This is so much easier than having to drive across Ireland to fly out. I flew out early Wednesday morning from the tiny Waterford Airport. The airport consists of 1 gate. My short/long term parking spot was 50 feet from the door. All they have is turbo props that hold about 30 people. I arrived in London and took the subway (the Tube) to my meeting. I spent [View Full Entry]

Last time I left off I was on my way to Venice for the weekend. Since the booming Waterford airport only flies to the UK, I had to truck it to Shannon in order to fly to Venice. Typically it should take 2 - 2 ½ hours to get to Shannon from Waterford. I had to check in for my flight at 4:10 pm. I left work at noon which gave me plenty of time to go get my rental car #2 and drive to Shannon. Well needless to say after being stuck behind a tractor and some sheep, I made [View Full Entry]
