I'm leaving in less then a month! My little brother started packing his suitcase...until he realized he'd need his toothbrush sometime within the next 27 days! I should probably start thinking somewhat about packing. While surfing the internet for travel tips I found a good printable packing checklist, very detailed. The link is below. There is also an activity checklist, the Frommers site is very good in general. d.c. http://www.frommers.com/tips/packing_tips/ http://www.frommers.com/... read more

Check that out! we drove into Banff yesterday the day before Dan's birthday and there was no snow in the town and hardly any on the ski-hills near there either. Then after we bought ourselves new snowboards for Dan's birthday, went out for a huge night in town and it dumped out over a foot of fresh snow all through the town and even more up the hills so Happy Birthday Dan!!!!! tomorrow we're heading up to try out our new boards and some real Rocky Mountian powder! The roadtrip was cool, no breakdowns and we got to ride Big White which is the second biggest Ski-hill in Canada so that was awesome. Caught up with my Auzzie mate Gavin there too so had a big night with him at Sam's Bar on Tuesday night. Then ... read more

Vancouver City is fun, Vancouver Island is beautiful, but our van sux! we bought an ugly van thing last Tuesday and it blew up on Thursday - Doh! All good though, after a couple of days waiting around for it to get fixed on Vancouver Island, she's back on the road and running like a dream! So far we've been here for just over a week and are loving Canada. We went to an Ice Hockey game the other night which was absolutely fantastic! there was heaps of good fights, real pop-corn vendors, and some heavily romantic type even proposed to his wife in one of the breaks - we couldn't believe our luck. And it's not even as cold here as we thought it was going to be, but that kinda sux because it means ... read more

Well, well, well ... I'm finally on the trip I dubbed "My trip of a lifetime". Its amazing to think of all the time Michelle and I spent planning/organizing this whole thing and now that its finally here, I wish I kind of had some more time. I think it is because I didn't put much thought on how much I would miss the familiarity of home. And being away for 2 months is terrifying, yet amazingly exciting! The thought about embarking on a journey that will forever change me and will teach me things I could never learn in school or challenge me in such an unfamiliar way is extremely gratifying. Anyway, where am I now? On a plane to Honolulu, Hawaii to drop off some people and to re-fuel. Then we are off to ... read more

Graham and I have been in the Vancouver area for a few days now, visiting some of his friends and family and taking care of some final preparations. It's not quite the same as Texas weather--currently snowing. We've got rupies, rubbles, and yen in our pockets and plane tickets to Delhi via Moscow for tomorrow morning. It will be 12 hours straight of flying, a 7 hour layover in Moscow, and then on to Delhi, getting us there around midnight. It should be an interesting time of day to find our way to our hostel. We'd love to hear about all the updates of our friends and families. Email us, and subscribe to this travelblog so you can know whenever we update it. Hope you enjoy. And I hope I can pry Graham away from his ... read more
