Hi family and friends! Today is Oct. 18, 2007. Patty and I are in an awesome RV resort (check it out Beckie & Gary: www.normandyfarms.com ) near Boston. We left FL on Sept. 30 and blasted up thru WV and eastern PA then headed east into CT. from there went up into the white mtns. of Northern New Hampshire for 3 days. That was a nice area where we did some hiking and leaf peeping. Then we headed Northeast into Maine where we stayed for a week at Acadia National Park. Acadia is an awesome park and it was neat to have a week to check it out. The weather has been surprisingly mild and sunny for the most part. And of course we had plenty of Lobs-tah and Chow-dah! We also met up with old ... read more

Afternoon everybody! Today is the fourth and final day of my training at Disney University on how to be a good checker-inner. Last year I thought there was a lot to remember being a vacation planner (fact fans: did you know there are over 100 different ticket combinations available at Walt Disney World?)...it turns out that there's even more when you are on the front desk!

Next I am off to Nicaragua to learn Spanish and will continue to travel Central America until my money runs out.Washington D.C.Seattle needs a better transportation system. DC's Metro transit system is easy to use and navgate as well being very clean. I spent twenty dollars on a metro card and it lasted me more than a week. DC is compacted into a small area. The main attractions are within ten square miles and can easily be reached by the metro. The nation's capital is also working culture. I stepped into the metro to union station and I was the ... read more

We woke up at the crack of dawn and slowly got ready to head down to the lookout point where we were last night and watch the sunrise. It was freezing cold and some of the girls from our group brought their sleeping bags, fantastic idea, it was that cold. The sunrise was beautiful despite the freezing cold. It was an amazing sight seeing the sun rise over the Grand Canyon. Afterwards he drove down to a lodge to have breakfast, when we arrived there were deer hanging around outside the lodge eating grass. We took some close up photos and headed in for some food. We sat inside and ate a nice hot breakfast to keep us warm and awake. We finished our breakfast and left the lodge to go for a hike down into ... read more
