Hi! I am sorry this blog has not been kept up as well as I intended. I have been busy and blogging is not my top priority- my relationship to God and secondly my family are and always will be. Nevertheless, I will try to do better at keeping this blog updated. Since my last blog things have progressed in some areas and in others slowed down considerably. I am possibly not leaving on the 21st of August. In order to leave then I would need to have all the necessary monthly funds pledged and accounted for... this is not happening. [View Full Entry]

Bon Voyage Steve and Christine! This Travelblog is going to be about Steve and Christine's journey around the United States and Australia. We are going to be "roughing it." I'll be posting short stories, pictures and things we learned on a daily or weekly basis. (this depends on access to Internet) My first priority is gathering as much information as possible about our route, hotels, camp sites, coupons, fuel costs, and other things that I can't think of right now.

Hi Everybody: I have had my photo snapped for my passport. I actually look cute if I do say so myself. Thanks to Mama Kaye who thought to pray about this! I have also had my passport paperwork submitted for almost 2 weeks and if all goes well I should have it on or before July 10th. I have organized all my curriculum, prepared and purchased what I need for my bulletin boards, and also bought all but a few of the necessary household items they (my school recruiter and principal) recommended. I also finally have all the needed paperwork from [View Full Entry]

Hi! I am officially starting my travel blog today. I leave for Istanbul in just 3 months. I am just amazed that I have joined the blogging community.... never thought I would, but here I am typing my first entry. Please feel free to stop in and check on my progress as I ready to leave for Turkey. I will probably attempt to post at least 1 or 2 times a week. Thanks for stopping by! See you next time!

Today is Monday, October 13, 2008 it is 3 a.m. and it is hard to say where we have been. In stilettos she dodges a baby carriage while heading toward the counter. I am trailing, wildly slinging a sleek tan leather bag over my left shoulder. At 1:15 in a bright western sky I am wide-eyed when I slap my Arizona ID onto the cold formica in plea for two first-class tickets on the 1:30 flight. The disheveled attendant shakes her head. “You know your flight lands at 3:30 and your return is at 4:00? Impossible.” My hand shimmies to my [View Full Entry]

Hey Everyone, This past christmas break, one of my uncles said that i should still use this blog every so often to let everyone know how i am doing now that i am back to my regular life. So this is what i am doing now... Since I have been back, I have really noticed how much more positive things and outcomes to situations have been for me. Not to say that i had a lot of problems or anything like that before I went, but only now i see things a little differently. The experience allowed me to "grow up" [View Full Entry]

A Premature Goodbye... After getting my car repaired in San Diego, I wrestled with the thought of staying one more night and going strait through to Flagstaff, AZ, but decided to go ahead to segment the drive and stay a night in Big Bear City. Big Bear Mistake, yo. Don't get me wrong, it was a pretty town in the mountains with that Bavarian feel I love....NOT! And, of course, being a Monday it was absolutely dead. Only three others stayed at the Hostel and I had a very low key evening chatting with the owner who seemed to be [View Full Entry]

Well, I know that this is not about Camp A. But I thought you'd like to see some pictures of the schools I went to look at in Arizona, as well as a few others that we took while we were there. I went to look at 2 schools, one in Tempe and one in Tucson. Mom and I drove there - YUCK! But we made it there and back and had fun too! We went to this cool desert museum and that was really fun. As for the schools, I really liked them both. The one in Tempe is Collins [View Full Entry]
