I do not officially begin my trip until February the 3rd but I thought it would be good to get this up and running. I will be posting pictures sharing experiences and just generally keeping everyone back home updated on my trip. If there is anything that you would like to see in particular please l http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Kansas/Overland-Park/blog-466462.html Well everyone just a note to say that I am back home safe and soundThe trip to Zanzibar was amazing. When we got to the hotel in Paje we had to sit at the restaurant to wait for our room. It wasn't too difficult given the face the restaurant was facing the ocean. We sat on a comfy couch enjoying the soft breeze and green waves. Seriously I don't think Karen or I said anything for a hour.

I rode my bike to the Legion post building AL post 370 Overland Park and I wore my American Legion Riders vest in the parade so its still going to count as a bike event and be included my blog here.The day started around 10AM as I had volunteered to help decorate the Au http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Kansas/Overland-Park/blog-207143.html Just a quick note to share some photos. My guest room has become a disaster zone but the upside is that I've got most of my items packed. I highly recommend the foldingpacking things don't know what they are called but I'll include a photo for you. I had two wonderful going away parties this weekend. Thanks to my family and friends for making my last weekend so much fun. You guys are the b http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Kansas/Overland-Park/blog-203111.html Testing testing 1 2 3. Well I am 9 days away from leaving for my trip and getting very excited. Some background for those who may not know...I am going to spend a month in Tanzania volunteering through Cross Cultural Solutions CCS. I've always wanted to go to Africa and when I read about volunteering vacations I decided that would be a great solution. I want to be able to do somethin http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Kansas/Overland-Park/blog-201490.html Hello everyoneI hope that you are having a wonderful holiday seasonAs many of you know I will be studying abroad during the 2007 Spring Semester. The study abroad program is sponsored by the Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Michigan and there are 40 American students participating in this program. I am leaving December 31 2006 and heading to Melbourne Victoria Australia where I will be takin http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Kansas/Overland-Park/blog-113613.html Hey everybodySo I decided that i would put together a little travel blog of sorts so that I can keep you all up to date to what im doing and where im going. For now I am trying to pack and get ready to leave. I will leave 530pm on Wednesday and get into London at 730am then transfer to Rome a few hours later.My address in Rome isVia Costabella 26 Scala C Int 400195 Romago to maps.google.co http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Kansas/Overland-Park/blog-85034.html So this weekend I ran some errands around town. I knew exactly where I was going and how long it would take to get there. It's weird to know that in 3 days I will know nothing. It's kind of making me feel anxious. Murr. Last night I packed for a couple of hours. I got these bags that suction out air from clothes that I will recommend to everyone traveling. The bag squished my winter coats and v http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Kansas/Overland-Park/blog-84921.html One week until go time. I bought a 5 piece luggage set today. I have enough luggage for a small army. I also got a traveling alarm clock that doesn't tickthank god voltage adaptor and other random necessities. I'm feeling very stressed out for no reason. I pretty much have everything done..well almost everything..but I also have one week to sit around and stew and think about what I have to http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Kansas/Overland-Park/blog-37305.html Winter is here in Overland Park Kansas. We just had over 10 inches of snow last week from a snow storm that hit the whole midwest and northeast. It is time for me to learn from our feathered friends and start the southward migration. I have 2 weeks vacation left from work and not much money left in the bank. So it is an easy choice for me to choose driving than flying. I am so jealous on you M http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Kansas/Overland-Park/blog-31454.html
