FLORIDA – WEST PALM BEACH, PALM BEACH, KENNEDY SPACE CENTER NASA That Morning Brain brought us to the Amtrak station where we had some time to stroll along Bay shore Boulevard before we would board the train to West Palm beach. Rick and 2 friends of him picked us up from the station. It was good to see Rick again, I won't state here how long it has been but believe me it has been long :) But Rick hasn't changed a bit, in any way! Rick brought us to his house but unfortunately he had to go to work that night. So went to discover the neighborhood and would hopefully find the beach. But as everything in the US the place is bigger than we thought, we found water but the beach was on the ... read more

I survived it. A full day of drunken debauchery and I dont even have a hangover. I guess if I have learned anything over the years, its drink lots water while drinking lots of Rum. And Tequila. Yep. Daqs and Margs were the drinks of the day. The battery operated blender worked like a charm. Finding the arena was a breeze thanks to Tom the GPS. Parking was $20 and incredibly unorganized. But that worked in our favor since we had a huge gap on one side of us. We got there around noon after stopping at WalMart for supplies. Which included a throw away grill to cook Bubba burgers on. Our beach umbrella kept the sun off of us for most of the day. But I knew as it dropped we would have no shade. ... read more

It never seems to right to wake up before 10 in the morning when I am sleeping in a hotel room. But here I am. Been up since 9 for no reason what so ever. So I guess I'll record last nights exploits for posterity. We took off out of the hotel heading over towards the beach and where I thought Buffets house was. But Google earth screwed me on the address. But it wasn't a total waste of a trip since we were at the beach. Parking along the beach where we were was $1 an hour. That seems like a crazy price to pay anywhere. So we dropped 15 minutes worth of change and walked out on the beach while Bentleys and Ferraris cruised by us. Note to the guys: chicks on the beach ... read more

My wife is awesome. When she found out Jimmy Buffett was touring she bought us tickets to the West Palm Beach show. We left home this morning on another road trip to South Florida to see more than just a concert. If you didn't know it, his shows are more than just a concert. The preshow tailgating are just as much fun to see. So with the jeep loaded down with beach chairs, camping chairs, a folding table, 2 coolers, 3 different types of liquor, and a battery operated blender, we should be set. The drive, for the most part was eventful. I played Island songs until even I was tired of them. The drive was about 4 hours long. I probably averaged about 80 miles an hour. Some spots I was able to go 90. ... read more

Well, I was missing my animal friends from South Africa, so daddy decided to take me to Lion Country Safari. He had heard of it for a while, and being only 1 1/2 hours from where we live, after almost 5 years living in Miami now was the time. I had loved going on safari a little over 2 months ago in South Africa, so I thought this sounded cool. We also invited my good friend and neighbor Luna who came with her dad, Sean, and another one of my friends, Trinity. So, we got up early on Saturday morning and drove to Lion Country Safari. We had planned to stay 2 nights at the campsite that was connected to the park. There were no cabins available, so we camped. I had loved camping with daddy ... read more

The Time Has Come... Remember the old anti-drug commericals: "This is your brain...this is your brain on drugs"? We've revised that statement to: "This is your life...this is your life in a box!" Because this is indeed is our life for the next 15 months or so...two backpacks, three small boxes of clothes, and Hungry. Thank you so much to all our dear friends and family who have supported us, visited with us, and made these last few weeks in Florida a wonderful send-off!! You will all be missed very much. So, without any further ado, we go to ship our boxes and finish the last of the last-minute errands. Tomorrow morning at 7:15 we depart from Palm Beach airport!!! After a layover in Newark, we fly almost 14 hours to Beijing and will arrive about ... read more

It is a terrible affliction that began in my childhood with long summer trips out west to visit my brother...gradually got worse as I began visiting cool places like Panama, Canada, and New England...and officially hit me full-on the first time I went to Europe (Spain to be exact) the summer I graduated from high school. Over the next few years, sometimes solo, sometimes with a friend, and more often that not with my father (my original travel companion), I'd find myself on yet another trans-Atlantic flight ... read more

In 48 hours, I'll be onboard the plane to San Juan, Puerto Rico, where the true journey will begin. But before crossing that ocean, a few days of living the simple life to recharge my batteries in southern Florida is in order. I'm also having great fun clicking my new new Canon camera at everything. After tennis yesterday, NitaJean and I loaded up the Mercedes and drove to Hutchinson Island (across the bridge from Jensen Beach) for some sand and sandwiches. No sooner had we unloaded and dug our toes in to hit the beach, the lifeguard raised the red flag and bullhorned everyone out of the water just as the darkened, thunderous skies opened up. Not to be deterred, and hunger gnawing, we flopped our sand chairs right beside the Ladies Room underneath an overhang, ... read more
