Daisy investigated a dead horseshoecrab. Jodie had told us that one of the local delights was Tastykakes so we tried some small cinnamon rolls for breakfast. They were tasty. Jodie had told us that they were THE treat in Pennsylvania and Stephanie Plum from the Janet Evanovitch books loves them http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Virginia/Chesapeake/blog-344858.html So as of now I am at home.Which made me think of home in general. It's hard for me to call one place my home. I feel at home in Virginia Beach or my physical home I live in here. As well as when I go back to Washington state I feel at home at my Grandmother's house. And of course I feel right at home in Aiea Oahu Hawaii being that I have native Hawaiian blood in me and a lot of my Dad's http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Virginia/Chesapeake/blog-276204.html Man what a rain we had last night.

The Federal government failed to pass the cap increas http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Virginia/Chesapeake/blog-247576.html This past summer I traveled to Chincoteague Island. This is one of the best trip I have taken in years. This area is not your typical beach trip. Their are plenty of things to do other than go to bars and theme parks. So if you are into a busy trip full of shopping and roller coasters this would not be a place you wanted to visit. While we visited we crabbed and met lots of nice locals who show http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Virginia/Chesapeake/blog-244980.html Well its Feb 2008 I am in the navy but gettin out in 10 months.

Tonight we went out for Mexican food and afterwards we just chilled and watch movies. Red Sox came from behind to win Yankees lose big Back to five games.

We have a real sense of what sacrifices were made to create this great country http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Virginia/Chesapeake/blog-180246.html It's been a while since I added anything here but I've been in Cville the whole time. Exams finished up last week and I'm home for a few days now. Still waiting for grades...I'm going to be leaving Thursday for Arizona.

After that I'll be home for a few days then http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Virginia/Chesapeake/blog-158462.html Hello I have decided to create this travelblog to keep everyone updated on my progress in New Zealand. I leave tomorrow 114 for three weeks to New Zealand. At first three weeks seemed like more than enough time. Now I'm not so sure. I am renting a campervan which will give me the freedom to travel around the country with the most flexibility. I will post updates and hopefully some pict http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Virginia/Chesapeake/blog-118402.html
