After a few weeks of much anticipation, I have finally started the blog. I must admit, finding dependable internet service has been nearly impossible. Nonetheless, now at El Sheraton (the nicest hotel chain in South America) I´m balling it enough to make some entries. I must preface, my entries will be short but sweet.... Let´s start at the beginning, May 31st... The Bon Voyage Pub Crawl. With a great showing, and many people wearing politically incorrect clothing from different parts of the world, we set out to conquer Hermosa Beach, play an inordinant amount of flip cup, unknowingly r [View Full Entry]

For those of you that made it to my going away party, hope you all had fun! This entry marks the beginning of my journey around the world. I will be visiting South America, Africa (only Egypt), and Asia over the next two months. Below is a list of my itinerary for those of you that want to folllow along. I'll try to make it interesting but if its not then at least it will kill some time at work! (except if you are working at E&Y since I am sure you are all busy and Todd probably wouldn't appreciate me [View Full Entry]

Well, we did it ..... well , ... not ALL of it ..... but we rode the bike path from Rodondo Beach to North of Manhatten Beach this morning . Not as far as we would like to have gone , but good just the same. Del didn't have his odometer with him so I'm just guessing ..... but I think we did about 25 miles. That's a bit whimpy , but we'll make it up when we get back to this area in a week and have more time. The temp is a perfect sunny 80 degrees ( wished I'd [View Full Entry]

I start with these 5 words - Oops! I did it again :( ... JUST KIDDDDDDDDING!!! I MADE IT - I'm finally in LA!!! *big smiles* THE FLIGHT I must say that the flight over to LA was not the best flight I've ever taken. As soon as I sat down, I was like WTF, why is there NO TV SCREEN infront of my seat. Must I really sit with nothing infront of me for 13 hours? SERIOUSLY? :( Flying out of Australia.. we experienced some really, like REALLY bad turbulence. It was really freaky! The whole plane was shaking and [View Full Entry]

In the past year, I have been trying to slow the affects of aging, by making a concerted effort to do some sort of physical activity at least five days a week (ok, that’s on a good week, but we all have goals). About a year ago, I started going to the Kailua Bikram Yoga studio with my girlfriend, Kelli, in an effort to mix it up a little bit. I remember that first day in the studio, I thought to myself…what the hell am I doing in this room that is purposely heated to 100+ degree temperatures, holding these [View Full Entry]

This is my blog. I used to hate the word "blog", but this is pretty sweet I gotta say. My first entry is a few days late, but on Sunday I had a few extra hours so I decided to make the trip to Manhattan Beach. Upon arriving in the city I first saw malls and shopping centers that could pass for Florida and I was unimpressed. After a turn down Manhattan Beach Blvd I thought I had arrived in a different country. Houses tightly packed on moderately steep hills right up to the beach front are all that exist [View Full Entry]

I leave for London in less than a day and could not be more excited (and nervous)!!! I know it's strange to be nervous for such an exciting trip, but it's the good kind of nervous. You know the kind of nervous you feel when you begin to fall in love, or when you are about to walk across a stage and recieve your college degree, or when you are forced to sing karoke sober. It's that kind of nervous-- the silly nervous that leaves a pit in the bottom of your stomach and gives you butterflies. I can't wait to [View Full Entry]

UK TO NZI headed out to LA on the 21st April 2007, with Virgin Atlantic. Arrived the same day in the afternoon and headed straight to my hotel, the Doubletree. Room was sweet and huge. Ate steak and had a few beers at the Hotel Bar but collapsed for an early night watching Basketball and getting an awesome surprise chat from my sister, Louise on the hotel room phone! Woke early the next day and headed to Manhattan and Hermosa Beaches. The day consisted of walking along the beaches, dominating an American Pancake, French Toast, Bacon Breaky and watching [View Full Entry]

So my moment of mourning for Boston has worn off and been replaced by excitement once again! It's been one day and so far, the trip could not have gone any better. After an uneventful flight from Manch-vegas to Philly, my neighbors on the flight out to LA couldn't have been chosen better (well, maybe Giselle and her Victoria Secret model friends would have been better). I start talking to the guy next to me and it turns out that he runs a consulting firm out of Sacramento that helps engine manufacturers get compliant with emissions regulations - exactly the kind [View Full Entry]
