Today is the day I leave. I made a huge thank you to all the people I met on my trip. They made it much more enriching for me. The world worth experiencing is with the people you meet. In my case some I already knew from the internet. But I can sure say it was a privilege to meet others as well.I left my hostel at 11am after a shower. It took me quite some time to get to http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-Jersey/Newark/EWR/blog-664872.html Day 1 Sunday January 17th 2010 754pm ESTIm currently in the air on my way to Australia First stop LA to then board my Qantas flight to Sydney Its pretty boring being on a plane alone knowing you cant sleep or the jet lag will end up killing you So I took out my little mini laptop and decided to begin the blogging processHave you ever decided to do something and then once it http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-Jersey/Newark/EWR/blog-468888.html Yeah. I know. But it's the closest I've come to NY so I'm making the most of it. Was not expecting the muggy weather though...I had to peel off 3 layers. Yuck. 71 degrees and 70 percent humidity. We already checked out a few shops and the fast food that this airport has to offer I'm killing time online while Warren is off drinking a beer somewhere. I'm going to try a Nathan's hotdog before I le http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-Jersey/Newark/EWR/blog-449764.html Newark is the largest city in the united states of New Jersey and close proximity to New York. This city is very nice and the architecture of this city also so amazing This city is most popular for its skyline museums parks sightseeing nightlife and other attractions of this city. I went to this city for office purpose with team. Our team was consisting of five members with my boss. We went t http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-Jersey/Newark/EWR/blog-388119.html While I sit as patiently as possible at the airport I realize that I have done pretty much all that I can do to prepare for this trip. I've read books on India studied Hindi researched provinces I will be visiting and brainstormed ideas to help with my placement. However from what I have heard and read nothing can really prepare you for India. I have a feeling that all of my current expectat http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-Jersey/Newark/EWR/blog-335515.html Location Presidental Club in Newark AirportSong Viva La Vida by cold play my offical vacation theme songIts been 6 years since I was in Europe and to be honest not a day has gone by that i haven't missed it. there is just something about that place that seems to call to me. i can't read enough books about it or watch enough travel shows about it. Europe seems to have a little bit of everythi http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-Jersey/Newark/EWR/blog-331515.html Well here it is the first leg of my journey. I'll first start my saying sorry as I am using my iPod touch things bad my fingers are to fat and keep typing other letters. Were shall I start Getting into New York After a 8 hour 45 minute flight followed by another hour connecting flight we touched down from Ohio into NYC after a very long day. Supprised NIkki didn't kill meAfter getting http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-Jersey/Newark/EWR/blog-312259.html Monkey has really been on my case about Norway ever since last year's cruise. The nagging became completely unbearable once we got back from the Transatlantic in April. He wants to see more whales and he's still upset he didn't get to see a puffin last year in Iceland. So I gave in and booked us on a slightly shorter version of last summer's Lands of Fire and Ice cruise on board Queen Elizabe http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-Jersey/Newark/EWR/blog-306482.html I watched a movie called European Vacation when I was a kid in India. It is the comedy of a fat American family with boisterous kids who do their best to catch the flavor of Europe but just don't know how to be good tourists. They have difficulty adapting to new cultures and cannot drive small European cars nor speak local language. After a number of encounters and adventures they manage http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-Jersey/Newark/EWR/blog-294421.html Voy a decir que estoy en Manhattan que suena muy bien aunque en realidad estoy en el aeropuerto Newark que est en New Jersey...y me aburrooooo tengo las piernas como columnas jnicas tengo sed y quiero fumar...Quiero llegar ya Y pensar que me queda otro interminable vuelo hasta llegar a mi destino...Para fumar tengo que salir y volver a pasar por todos los controles necesarios...hay u http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-Jersey/Newark/EWR/blog-293470.html Velkommen til familien Srensens rejseBlog USA 2008Vi skal nu forsge os udi bloggekunsten og bringer s ofte vi orker nyt fra Guds eget land....Her kommer lidt af de frste rejseoplevelserI gr var vi ved Frihedsgudinden og Ellis Island hvor Mettes oldemors bror og mange andre blev sat af som frste stop da de som emmigranter ankom til NY det var interessant at besge.

Im sitting in Newark airport awaiting the departure of my 14 hour flight to Delhi and the start of what will hopefully be an amazing life experience6 months living in Nepal. I feel like since the day I received the email from Kathmandu that I had been awarded a Fulbright Fellowship that I have been anticipating this day. And now its hard to believe its actu http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-Jersey/Newark/EWR/blog-209504.html Well the journey to the airport was a bit of an adventure. In typical packman form we turned on AM radio to see if there was any traffic on the way to the airport from my parents house. None. Except for on the EastWest Turnpike extension which doesnt affect us going to the airport....that is until I missed the turnoff I was only maybe 20 feet past the exit and could have reversed but with http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-Jersey/Newark/EWR/blog-202790.html I was up for 24 hours before I even started this trip.You know how sometimes you just don't think things through When I bought my plane tickets many months before a 530 am flight sounded like a great idea.However...a 530 am flight leaving from DIA this morning translated into needing to be at Stapleton to catch the DIA bus by 400 am which meant leaving my humble apartment by 230 am. By th http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-Jersey/Newark/EWR/blog-202184.html The day is finally here.After volunteering at the zoo until noon we packed and headed to newark.Second person to check in and 96.5 lbs of luggage. phew I JUST made it. I was happy about that one.I checked in and asked Daniel aka danny boy where I should go.He was like uh you can hang out ehre or go through securitywenot exactly what I was expecting to here.I guess that's my first feeling o http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-Jersey/Newark/EWR/blog-201224.html Yes this has been part of a major turning point for me. The opportunities I've come across first out of necessity of distraction from personal stress and relief from my old work routine have become an expanded professional project. I've been able to be figure several things out along the way not everything but many things which is very good.But first I've got to get home.My plane left McC http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-Jersey/Newark/EWR/blog-195222.html This isn't going to be much of a blog because it would sound more like complaining than statement of fact. Suffice it to say that after spending a couple of days in Flemington NJ for a business meeting from the time I arrived at Newark International Airport EWR until I arrived home in Woodstock GA took just shy of 15 hours due to ATC Air Traffic Control and weather delays. At least I arrive http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-Jersey/Newark/EWR/blog-188041.html There are several things that alert a traveler that she is about to embark on a very interesting journey1 When the last glimpse of American life that she sees is in Newark International Airport.2 When she is subjected to airport security on three separate occasions on the way to the gate then told that her sweatshirt is too baggy to ensure passenger safety.3 When she is cowering on the floo http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-Jersey/Newark/EWR/blog-135317.html So I left early this morning around 8 AM to catch a train from Washington DC to New Jersey's EWR Newark Airport for my flight to Rome Italy On my way to the airport I've already met some interesting people who were interested and excited about my upcoming trip. When I arrived in Newark Airport I met up with my friend PJ. It was his 30th birthday and so we got a chance to hang out for a lit http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-Jersey/Newark/EWR/blog-113638.html
