Asi fue que despues de disfrutar del ultimo dia en South Padre salimos para Corpus Christi. La idea era hacer mas corto el viaje ya que es MUY DIFERENTE (????) manejar por 14 horas desde Corpus que 17 desde South Padre..... Paramos en el Drury Inn donde tenia una tarifa especial con desayuno incluido, etc. Despues de desayunar Mariana y las nenas fueron al Acuarium a ver delfines y otras alimanias y yo me fui a Bird Island ya que no habia tenido sufucientes dias de windsurf (???!!!!). Todo un record navegar TODOS LOS DIAS durante 10 dias seguidos.... Ente [View Full Entry]

Full India Trip Brett MaloneI arrived safely into Mactown about 3:30 am this morning after 24 hours plus of traveling. It's a relief to be home, and I'll spend the next couple days overcoming my jetlag. I'll try and give everyone a call soon so we can chat. If you have time, then check out the map here because I've tried to give an overview of my entire travels in India. [View Full Entry]

The continuing saga of travels with my 2005 883cc Harley Davidson Sportster...... Saturday 24 March 2007 The temp was a toasty 75F. The skies were clear and the road screamed to be ridden. It doesn’t take much more that that to get me out for a ride. Saturday morning the Central Midwest HOG group was having its Spring Breakout ride. So feeling guilty because for the past 2 years I rarely went to any of their rides because of my own trip plans, I decided I would ride out with them. Simple trip from Olathe, KS to Louisburg, KS. About 20 [View Full Entry]

The morning started early as I remembered to 'spring forward' with the clocks last night. My cold from the last few days is still kicking my butt, but I had to get out today and ride some. This is just my luck the weather finally warms up and I have my 1st cold in 2 years. Effie, my 2005 883 Low Harley Davidson Sportster was just as eager to go for a ride, as she got moving much faster than I had. The HOG group was to meet up at the Central HD Shawnee KS store at 10AM leave at 10:30 [View Full Entry]

We were invited to Liberal High School to give our program to the Spanish classes. We took this opportunity to visit the Land of Oz Museum and the great Air Museum. Since Edgar wants to be a pilot, I though this would interest him We met Miressa in Garfield as she was brought there by host Mom, Rotarian Anita Graves. It was a long two and a half hour drive to Liberal but it was worth it. We had a great tour of the Wizard of Os museum by a tour guide named Gary who was a retired teacher. He had [View Full Entry]

Two representatives of our district RITE (Rotary Intercountry Teacher Exchange and YEES (Youth Exchange Spanish English) visited this week. Representing RITE was Marissa Quiroz and YEES Edgar Quintero. Both are from David, Chiriqui, Republic of Panama. Marissa was a 24 year old English Teacher who came to our district to study the methodology of teaching a foreign language. She was impressed with the Kansas teachers who had traveled to David last summer and she came to learn more. She spent three weeks in the Wichita area attending classes in the Wichita schools and Wichita State. She [View Full Entry]

So, as all of you know, I made it home quite safely. I've talked to about half of you and I plan on talking to the other half very soon, so I'll spare the details for this blog. The trip was amazing. I learned a lot, and, hopefully, I'm a better person for it. Check out the route map as it summerizes where I was in it's entirety. I guess I'll keep this blog for when I run off to India on March 9th (maybe). [View Full Entry]

So...it's hard to imagine that visiting your HOME might be considered travelling by some, but there have been several requests for coverage of my Christmas in Kansas. And since I have some very handsome pictures of the family, I'm happy to oblige. The vacation undeniably got off to a rough start. A missed connection in New York left me stranded in Brooklyn for 2 days, not a bad place to be...but when you find out via e-mail that your Great Grandmother just passed away, you kind of want to get home as soon as possible. To an outsider, Kansas might seem [View Full Entry]

Rotary International has over a hundred fellowships. Just about every thing from golf, flying or any special interest. One that I belong to is the International Travel and Hosting Fellowship. If you like to travel and meet people this is the fellowship for you. I joined this fellowship years ago. Most people see Kansas as a place to drive through or fly over. Actually, we have a lot to see. Within an 1:30 of driving time from my home you can see Dodge City's boot hill, Fort Larned (the only intact Indian fort west of the Missisippi), Santa Fe Trail Museum [View Full Entry]
