MATT We got up and had an early morning swim, lazing around because today we were going up to Santa Monica and our bus wasn't to come until lunch time. We spent most of the morning catching up on the blogs, that's why so many came up at once. The bus driver was absolutely hysterical and blew up with road rage over the tiniest thing.

The best thing about Space Mountain was that you couldn't predict the next turn because it was pretty dark, so it was like a rollercoaster ride in the dark. Next we went to ... read more

It's bittersweet, though too often I taste the bitter more than the sweet and I can't help but wish for a delay or that I might have boarded the wrong plane.

I circled the world in hopes of finding an adventure and now I face the important question: did I succeed? ... read more
