Now I'm sitting at my sister's eating chicken dinos bag packed and ready to go scared out of my mind. It's sad to think that in 24 hours from now I'll still have 8 hours of flying time remaining. I won't be arriving in Bangkok until 1235PM on Sunday so expect another blog Sunday or Monday. Til then en http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Massachusetts/Medford/blog-298525.html No more bottle or draft walking to my car at 2AM with 250 in my pocket in 1s and 5s bad pick up lines or even friendly facesI've just worked my last shift at the bar. At least until I need to save for my summer 2009 trip but for now let's get through 2008.I've officially bought every item I'll need to take with me and this week is all about meeting up with friends to enjoy my last few d http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Massachusetts/Medford/blog-296367.html Well...There we were riding in our chauffeured car zipping through the backroads of Chelsea like only Kristin could.

There appea http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Massachusetts/Medford/blog-294111.html Welcome to my first ever blog I'm not sure where to start so here goes nothing. A few years ago while I was living in NJ I met tons of cool people. One of which inspired me to truly live my life to the fullest. When I first met Judy she was about to take off on a 6 month trip around the world completely on her own. Reading about her adventures made me want to pack my bag and jump on the next http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Massachusetts/Medford/blog-289673.html Thurs 27th DecHad a great day today. Started off a busy schedule with a drink oops By getting a free hour tour of the Samuel Adams Brewery. It used to be a Kochs brewery using German ingredients and was changed to Samuel Adams in 1984 when the owner decided to rename it after Patriot and former brewer Sam Adams. The tour was very interesting found out that hops is part of the marijuana fam http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Massachusetts/Medford/blog-232053.html Wed 12 th December After work wrote chronicle III then had to go out to fix Kevrsquos tenantrsquos handrail out in Watertown he has a spare 2 bed flat for 1400 a month less than what we pay now and closer to town read civilistaion oh well which took an hour and a half so after we decided to stop for a few pints of good ole Guinness in PJ Ryanrsquos pub in Sommerville. The best bit http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Massachusetts/Medford/blog-228919.html Wed 5th December after yesterdayrsquos minus 10 day today was a little bit easier on the face my frosty shrivelled balls had time to thaw out a bit. Was in a bit of a bad mood again today the distance from town and life a bit of isolation waiting for Laura to come home with the laptop so I can check me emails before an early bed Medford being a dry town too means no pub to while away ho http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Massachusetts/Medford/blog-227156.html Monday 26th November 2007 the only other thing of significance that happened today was that I went and took a few photos of Fenway Park then met an Irish bloke called Enda in Cheers the pub from TV show who was a Kerryman in the Irish Army who looked like Ealmonn Holmes and was waxing lyrical about peacekeeping in the Lebanon which was pretty funny as I thought all Irish Army blokes did was http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Massachusetts/Medford/blog-225201.html UntitledWell I finally got this blog set up. I would have done it sooner but who really wants to hear about needles the doctor insisted on sticking in my arms. I have spent the past month researching all the places we will go...maybe. It seems that even though SE Asia is a mere 480000 sq. mi. approx an 18 of the size of the U.S. and for you New Englanders NE is 70000 sq. mi. covering al http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Massachusetts/Medford/blog-183101.html Mike says here we go here we go here we goI don't really have much to say but I am looking forward to the jungle meat.

My sister came into town for the 4th and it was great to hang http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Massachusetts/Medford/blog-72964.html Well it is all drawing near now. School is out the classroom packed away for the summer and five injections later we are that much closer to leaving. A mere fifteen days left at home this summer.
