So today begins the progress of the official plans for our road trip. The question now is...where will we go? East? West? South? NORTH TO ALASKA!!? hahaha (probably not) but...it's an exciting prospect. Regardless...I am serious about this proposal. I feel that you two are the only ones who will actually follow through with this. I want this more than anything. Everyone else I know has jobs, and soon we will all have big girl jobs too, so I really want to do this now more than ever. Please be involved and keep planning! if you don't do it, I swear I will go by myself! Our assignments: pick the region you would most likely roadtrip to and do some research as to which cities/monuments/events/museums/festivals/restaurants/national landmarks you would like to visit. We need to get a ... read more

Well im setting up my travel blog for my trip to Brazil. My adventure begins somewhere around the 15-20th of this month. So we will see how it goes. It looks as though I am flying out of Chicago and I believe it is a direct flight from chicago to San Paulo and then on to Rio. My very good friend Nayse will be picking me up from the airport in Rio and we are going on to a small city called Saquirema north of Rio about an hour. I will be there for a short time and back to Rio with some momma Da Silva. I will keep everyone informed on my future adventures. Depending on how it goes with this FB interface I will either keep it as is, or just contact everyone who ... read more

Day 1: It’s been 9yrs A redeye flight to AA arrived shortly after 6am, wide awake although I wasn’t able to sleep much on a plane. Still dark outside, the sun was just about to start to come out. On the way to AA, there were familiar names of freeway exits but completely lost - disappointing. It’s been a long time. But once I got to State x South U, it all came back to me Started to see places that I used to go to and I was in business. By far, the most appropriate place to kick off the trip - Espresso Royale. Same ol’ lemon poppyseed muffin. Sat there for a bit, looking into North U, totally overwhelmed with low-budget-movie moments - swirl of nostalgia and self-reflection. Alright, enough. Although there was cloud, ... read more

Two years later and it's off to India again! Like the last two trips we'll try to get on here at least every other day and let everyone know what's going on. Sometimes the internet connection where we are is slow-to-none so be patient if it takes a few days. This trip is even more difficult for me because of my son, EV. Last time he was just a baby and now he's my little man. He doesn't like it when I go to work! Mitch, Laurel, Debbie, Phil, and I will be visiting most of the same places we went last time and even a few new ones. Please pray that we can be extremely giving and full of the Spirit. Thanks, Ben ... read more

Favor: Could everyone who is interested in reading this blog sign up as a subscriber? It doesn't involve being on any spam lists, you'll just get an email whenever I make a new post. It will be much easier for me to stay in touch that way. One Week Out Final Preparations So one week from today is my flight from O'Hare to Heathrow, and one week from Monday I'll arrive in Lilongwe. At this point, it's still a rather arbitrary statement for me to say that I'm going to be living in rural Sub-Saharan Africa this summer, and about 200 hours from now it is going to become vividly real. In preparation for this summer, I've been trying to tie up any loose ends, still do well on finals, and just get ready physically and ... read more

Prep for Travel 20 Days til I leave... Moni (that's hello in Chichewa): So I'm starting to play around with all of this site to see if I can get it to work, so put up with me if I mess some stuff up at first.
