Cruise #2: Hi everyone! Well, this blog is going to be all about our 2nd cruise ship voyage: From Valparaiso, Chile all the way to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This is one of our regular routes that we will be taking for the next couple of months, but since this was our first time in all of these ports, we took a lot of pictures! Also, this cruise was especially special since we celebrated both Christmas and New Year’s Eve! We hope you enjoy~ Valparaiso, Chile: Once we reached Valparaiso, we sadly had to leave some very sweet passengers that we had befriended over our first couple of weeks onboard. However, some passengers stayed on - as they booked the trip all the way from San Diego to Rio! One such passenger was Bruce. Nicole and ... read more

Snow? Here? No freakin' way. Here are some photos taken recently-ish. As depicted in one of the photos, WE'RE DOGSLEDDING NOW! And it rocks. Man, what a stressful sport.. so much chaos with those dogs, when we're harnessing them to take them out for a run. They produce more energy then I care to try to curb some days. And on a less-stressful note, my bicycle is still working! And Im riding it every day in the snow. And everyone thinks Im crazy. I dont, not really. Anyways, love you guys tonnes, Im off to a housewarming party! Tyler... read more

November 5, we were bussed to the Christchurch airport and the Antarctic Departure Terminal. There we were made to suit up in all of our cold weather gear (including boots, parka, goggles, hats, gloves and everything) and greeted by Kiwi military and customs officers and dogs who thoroughly checked our kit. We were then shuttled onboard a C-17 military cargo aircraft operated by the New York National Guard. Seating consisted of fold down webbing seats along the inner sides of the aircraft and rows of traditional airline seating mounted in the cargo area. Behind the seats were large pallets of cargo netted and secured in place. I took one of the seats along the side because I’d been briefed by an insider that - though they looked less comfortable - the netting seats offered a ... read more

Russell and I went around a billion churches. After we went to the Repperbaum in hopes of getting some sex. We got no sex. Instead we got two bottles of wine and drank them like tramps outside a music vnue. Hamburg is expensive!!! Russell and saw many a prostitute and then he got so drunk i had to drag him home. In the middle of the night he was sick all over the floor, and I had to clean it up. Bless, arent I a lucky girl!!! Got to go, no money for internet!!!! ... read more

I would just like to mention that I had written a Greece part 3 and it seems to have disappeared. It was about going some where you've always wanted to go and having it live up to your expectations. If you like that kind of thing. Anyway I won't re-write it, but will add it to a lame wrap up I have planned that has been distracting me from writing a play (well editing/changing) and the real world in general.... So for now we're sticking with Greece entries 1, 2 and 4.... which probably is how George II counts anyway. Or, my new theory, that the Mapia stole entry number 3 as punishment for revealing George II's association with them. ... read more
