We picked up a rental car and got the hell out of Myrtle Beach! It was great to have our own wheels and independence again. Our only gripe so far on this trip is the restrictions of having to stick to train and bus schedules and get around solely on public transport. On all previous trips we’ve always had our own car so this time we knew it would be a little different but it still proved to be an adjustment. We drove the day to stay with our friend Kim, her mom Todd and her visiting sister Kelly in Mineral. [View Full Entry]

Hi Everyone! We decided to spend the day in Richmond yesterday. We went to Maymont Mansion...something that is well worth the trip if you enjoy that sort of thing. Afterwards, we went to the Historic Riverwalk and enjoyed the canal cruise that they offer. It was an enjoyable day! I will finish blogging our vacation ASAP... Stephanie PS. I included a picture of Alex on his 1st day of school. [View Full Entry]

This is my first post. I wanted to do this before I left. Thanks for everyone that is interested in what I'm about to embark on. It's exciting and scary all at once. I'm about to leave a lot of people that care about me to venture into an unknown territory with unknown people... and I can't wait. I leave this Sunday from Dulles airport at 10pm and I'm due to arrive in Accra, Ghana at 8:10 pm. I will be 4 hours ahead over there. [View Full Entry]

It was a ten and a half hour difference between here and there. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t sleep past 3 AM on my second day back home. I finally got out of bed try of bed and tried to get my life back to normal. Throughout this day however, I had some harsh realizations that if “normal” was the way I was before I left for India, this way of life would no longer an option. On that early morning, I wandered into the kitchen. Although it seemed as if the rest of the world was sleeping, [View Full Entry]

The Vacation....day one... Traveling to London The plan was simple… get to the airport on time, board our plane, catch our connecting flight, sleep on the flight to London (this should’ve been easy since it was a red-eye), and be fully functional by morning so we could hit the road running. Ok. Not so simple. Getting to the airport and checking our baggage was easy. We were catching our first flight from Richmond, VA to Newark, NJ. Once in NJ we needed to change terminals and jump on Virgin Atlantic to get from Newark to London. Our plane was on schedule, [View Full Entry]

And when I realised is was walking in the wrong direction the poor zone was just as nice. I really living in the classiest places.$50 gets you a cockroach infested room, cockroaches are extra tho.

We arrived home Wednesday afternoon. God blessed us with a safe trip of over 8100 miles. It seemed when we traveled toward home time dragged. It took 5 days to travel cross country by the “middle route”. We traversed the entire west-east length of Nevada, Wyoming and Nebraska. Then we dropped down to Kansas City, Missouri where we picked up I64. We drove through a small part of Illinois and Indiana, continued eastward through Kentucky, West Virginia and finally into Virginia. It was a great trip. This time we adjusted quickly to the RV routine and even the dogs seemed more [View Full Entry]
