We took our first train ride "into the city". We decided to head to Hoboken first just get out feet wet. I also wanted to see the original Carlo's Bakery. It was cool to see where it all started. We walked the streets and saw all of the places they take about on the show Cake Boss. We then headed to the park where I was able to get awesome shots of Manhattan from across the Hudson River. Next adventure will be to head into Manhattan and see the World Trade Center complexes. Next we tackle the subways.... read more

Today was going to be my first time flying without having someone I know with me and, being that I'm a nervous flyer, I choose a 7hr 30min flight, great! Anyway it all worked out ok in the end as this lovely Scottish lady was sitting next to me on the flight and she too didnt like flyng and so it helped with take off as I had someone to talk to and it distracted me. I was also spolit for film choice and watched Taken 2, Oz: The Great and Powerful and the Hobbit. I needed to get a taxi to my friends apartment after arriving safely at Newark Liberty International Aiport, New Jersey. I was greeted by a guy that I thought was a taxi driver and he took me to a pick up ... read more

Geo: 40.7439, -74.0328Though warm and comfy in the back of my truck in a Hoboken parking garage, I woke under a thick fog of sadness this morning. Maybe it's just a little end-of-trip anxiety coming out as sadness, or maybe it's just sadness that this part of the trip is near complete. I've been in this same mindset a number of times in the past, but I feel like I either want to be completely alone, or surrounded by community and loved ones, yet I find myself somewhere in the middle, in limbo. And the part of me that craves that closeness isn't sure where to find that, where to start that. My friend Ian is very much like me - he loves camping and climbing and skiing and being outdoors, but he is also a ... read more

Welcome to Jess and Lee's travel blog. This blog is set up to tell our friends, family and anyone interested our travel adventures. There's also the added bonus of the ability to record a trip of a lifetime. Our blog's first entry is by Lee. Today is May 23rd, 2008. We are less then two months away from our wedding, less then three months away from our honeymoon around the world. Jess and I are gearing up for our trip. There's been discussions on where to go, what to see, what to bring. The big question is how do you research the world. When I backpacked in Australia, the guide gave 1 week recommendations, 1 month recommendations and a life time of recommendations and that was just for Australia. Now as we get prepared for our ... read more
