I wish I had discovered this blog years ago. I did the mass email update for my previous adventures (United States and Europe) and now have no online documentation to share with fellow travelers. To the chagrin of some friends and family wanderlust has struck again. I managed to stay focused for nearly a year and a half in a job related to my college education, however the desire to travel has grown strong again and can no longer be suppressed.

Great to hear from you!
Just got back from trip to St. Louis and Chicago and then a weeks vacation, so just caught up with your exploits. Glad you're not wandering the streets aimlessly (I was worried you'ld become a bum...HaHa). The place looks wonderful with so much to see and do, not to mention what sounds like very interesting employment. Wish you all the luck in the world! I'm more than a little envious! Brad
