Der var en masse muligheder for vandsport, men da priserne var totalt latterlige, valgte vi at kajakke lidt rundt i soeen. Vi lejeder derfor to kajakker for en hel dag, og kastede os ud i projektet. [View Full Entry]

So time has passed and I have updated on little. Boo ya. So, within the day I've been home, we've had 3 different break-ins, Jake was stolen, not ONE job is available in ALL of Tucson and I was beaten into submission by a man using a lizard as a hammer. Oh, and the atomic bomb was accidentally set off down the street by a retarded child who was claiming he was Clint Eastwood and using the pile of poop he was holding as evidence. I didn't get it. But really, Cave Cree/Carefree/Scottsdale (whatever the hell place it was) was, again, [View Full Entry]

For that last Silk Road entry, I'd been writing those thoughts and experiences down on buses, hotel desks, night train windowsills, in a notebook as they happened to me, as they were fresh in my mind. As for the last few days of the trip, I knew they would be too busy for that, so I decided to go out and experience the pair of Chinese metropolis cities, Shanghai & Hong Kong, for what they were and worry about putting it into words later. Well, coming back home is making me face a lot of those "worry about it until later" [View Full Entry]

The Golden Gate never looked so beautiful... As he crossed the state line and into Arizona, he thought back to his life; what defined him. He thought about his family and how strange it was to now be separated from them. He thought about his mother and how much he misses her smile. He thought about his dad and how much he missed his laugh. He thought about his brother and how much he missed he goofiness. He thought about his older brother and how much he missed the closest thing to a role model he's ever had. He was diving [View Full Entry]

I can't believe it. Here I sit in a truck loaded with gear on its way to Lee's Ferry. I'm actually going to kayak/raft the Grand Canyon. I'm filled with way to much nervous excitement. I don't actually know if I will be rowing a gear raft or kayaking. The plan is for Todd and I to take turns rowing and paddling. Who cares, it is the Grand Canyon, and the trip of a lifetime. We have 18 days planned to go from Lee's Ferry to South Cove in Lake Mead, 297 miles down the Colorado River. Before it starts I [View Full Entry]

Efter Moab koerte vi ned til Monument Valley, som ligger inde i Navajo Indianernes Reservat. Vi fandt en fin lille campingplads i Goulding, hvor vi blev i 2 naetter. Naetterne i Monument Valley var VARME... temperaturen var en del over 30...om natten... det var sgu lidt svaert at faa en god nats soevn i telt uden aircondition! Her kommer lidt blandede billeder fra monument valley [View Full Entry]

1st Aug. Travelled from Mesquite and visited three major places of interest in searing heat (max 113 F). First Las Vegas along the strip, second the Hoover Dam (down under 600 feet of concrete to see the turbines) and lastly the west rim of the Grand Canyon (boy! is it a long way down). Night stop - Williams AZ. Pam and George [View Full Entry]

Friday 1st August As this was the last day in the canyon I got up early and ran along the rim watching the sun rise, it was peaceful, serene and breath taking and I had to stop at very lookout as not to miss a thing. Later on that day I dragged the boys back there for yet another walk, but in the sweltering sun and day tripping crowds it just wasn't quite the same. After breakfast I persuaded Gra to do one last hike into the canyon. This was to be our best yet. It was listed as the steepest [View Full Entry]

The Grand Canyon was always on our list of places to go, but to visit the quieter North Rim with hardly any towns nearby we had to book a room a while ago... we booked it while we were in Cusco, in fact, before the Inca Trail! We started the journey from Monument Valley and as there are not many places to cross the Colorado River, it makes the drive a long one to the North Rim, almost 5 hours in fact. We came close to the Colorado just outside a town called Page, at the Horseshoe Bend. This has a [View Full Entry]

Right now there's a very ambitious kitten to my left playing with a kitchen sink. Anyhoo, Lake Havasu is effing HOT... or at least that's what the temperature reads (114 F mid day and 109 F at night). But it doesn't FEEL like what I thought 114 weather would feel like. So, I think this is going to be a match made in heaven; Desert Heaven. The drive was long and arduous, but I made it. Jenae is doing so well for herself! She seems really happy, her boy (Jeff) is wonderful, and her house is AMAZING. Also, Jeff is in [View Full Entry]
