Hey everyone! So I've been here about a week, and I'm pretty much settled in, jet lags gone. I've been to my Uncle John and Auntie Annettas house a couple times, they fed me and all since my pitiful grocery shopping has me eating ham sandwichs for lunch and dinner. don't worry, ill start cooking soon. im getting plenty of beer. haha wednesday a couple other girls from the group and i went to oceania, a 6 story dance club. thursday night my landlady took me out to the local pub, so i'm a regular now. Whatever jokes her friends were attempting to tell were hilarious. Last night I ended up at a scottish pub in the middle of nowhere, but stopped by my local pub for a pint w/the locals on my way home. Sarah(my ... read more

Still looking like tourists in London as we do all the must-see sights. Over the past few weekends we have checked out the lovely St Pauls Cathedral and Hampton Court Palace. Also wandered over to Kew Gardens again as tourists are once again allowed to climb up the top of the Chinese Pagoda for views covering a suprising amount of London. All amazing - so much history at every turn. It's hard to believe that you are walking the same halls that Kings and Queens have for centuries. All must-do attractions we reckon. The heat wave is continuing, was meant to finish up today with thunder storms but no sign of thunder or rain yet... We have included some photos of the places we have visited but you cannot take photos inside any of the historic ... read more

Leaving the UK We have actually left at the time that i am writing this, but had an existing test entry which i had to replace as it was largely obsolete. I guess it would be a good idea to give a rough outline of route, just in case anyone didnt know - although i do doubt how much anyone will really be interested: 1. Rio de Janeiro - Brazil 2. Foz do Iguacu - Brazil 3. Buenos Aires - Argentina 4. Santiago - Chile 5. Auckland - Christchurch (overland) - New Zealand 6. Sydney - Australia 7. Bangkok - Thailand 8. Hong Kong So there it all is - i guess its subject to change but that is how it is all planned. BTW thats Nim in the orange T-shirt who is joining us in ... read more

Lovers and Friends alike, I have arrived in London, arrived to that wonderful person who decided to take me in for a night and also have seen quite a bit of the city. Although today's adventures were a bit frustrating, there actually was only one of them. I had to repack in the MSP airport because now for international flights you cannot take more than two bags over 50 lbs. each. Contrary to that, before it was customary to allow travelers two bags no more than 70 lbs each. And i thought i was pretty darn good packing only one bag that was under 70 lbs....that is until i got to the airport...well tomorrow brings another wonderful adventure, so...stay tuned folks! Oops! I added the pictures to the wrong entry...these pictures actually belong to "Metrogate" ... read more
