My son spent a year in Canada and I planned to visit him. While looking at the map I discovered that Fox indians exist and decided that I ought to visit them. It became a trip spanning east and west coast up even to Alaska.... read more

The first 300 miles are done already! Seems like its going by pretty fast actually. Im currently on my second no doz caffeine pill and they are working like a charm. Griffin is being so good, havent heard a peep from him the entire trip. We are at a rest stop in Ceder Rapids Iowa and hes out playing in the grass and stretching. The weather is really nice, its windy but feels nice. Im a loser so Im keeping track of my gas mileage so why not keep you informed? For the first 300 miles I had an average of 37.7 mpg. Pretty freaking awesome. I love Honda. I'm putting a couple of pics up with this post but not too many, unless you want to see countless trees and farmland, Iowa has nothing exciting ... read more

Hello friends! This is my first entry for my blog on my upcoming travels. I will be leaving the country on Saturday Nov 1st from Atlanta-Los Angeles-Bangkok-Kathmandu, Nepal! When I arrive in Kathmandu I am meeting up with the rest of my group (4-5 physicians and a few RN's) and our coordinators from Himalayan Healthcare. After a couple of days of orientation we head off for a medical trek to the Dhading region of the Ganesh Himals (the Himalayas) which I believe is not too far from the border with Tibet. We will be setting up temporary clinics for a few days at a time in a couple of small villages. This trek is two weeks in length. Upon returning to Kathmandu I will be getting a few things in order then heading over to Ilam, ... read more

Well here we are in Iowa - Day 1. We made the trip in 8 hours with one stop at the gas station where Jeff had to pay twice because it cuts you off after a certain amount of money. Great timing for an RV trip. The pictures are of us at our house, the Mississippi River, Jeff driving, Patricia driving, Ryan reading in a witch hat (don't ask), Caroline sleeping, Mitch sleeping and Jeff and the kids here in Iowa. Of course we are staying at a lake that "isn't anything as nice as Norris Lake". The only mishap was when the milk came flying out of the refridgerator because someone didn't close it enough - no one has stepped up on that one. Tomorrow we are off to Mitchell, South Dakota. Hope everyone is ... read more

11/20/2006 12:08 PM We made it to Cedar Rapids by 6pm but it was close. The first thing we noticed as we pulled into town was that the place smelled of oatmeal. Edward joked about there being an oatmeal plant here. As we neared the center of town there it was…oatmeal central. A huge Quaker Oats plant lit up the interstate. We found the venue and located Jason the promoter and started to get set up. He introduced us to the opener, Cold Mercy, and a few of the staff. Our green room was actually green, which always amuses me for some reason. They set our room up with beer, juice, water, and a homemade dinner made by Gayle from Nexxus. She made it vegan and included a side of beef to add to it for ... read more
