North America » United States » Maryland » Silver Spring September 8th 2012

I landed at 7.30am and grabbed a super shuttle to take me to where my Dad's cousin Matt lives with his family. This time I barely had to wait as it was an internal flight so no immigration and the shuttles were better organised at Dulles than LA! By 8.30am I was crossing the threshold into what i like to call my second home, after the month I spent here working with Matt in 2010. Matt and Lora were up (as they had been to the gym already!), Drake was at american football practice and my 20 month old god son Wesley was running around as usual! It was great to see them all! Whilst Matt went to a class, Lora, Wessers and I went to grab a starbucks and a snack, we would be going ... read more

North America » United States » Maryland » Ocean City August 7th 2012

250,000 marlin fishing families can't be wrong about Ocean City. They're all here enjoying the fishing tournament event of the year. We came here on a 27 hour outside, night passage from Norfolk. It was one of those rock'n roll specials that make you wonder why on earth you ever thought boating was a sane choice for humans. At one point I thought of our crew as two gerbils and a mouse trapped in a jar, being shaken by an energetic godling, perhaps mad at his mother. Early on in the passage we were doing 7+ knots with only the main up, reefed 2 panels. The sail came down in case conditions got worse. They did and they didn't. Nice organized waves turned to compound, complex pounding swells of the grand-daddy version. They came in threes. ... read more

Kære alle derhjemme i kolde Danmark. Tiden går og vi har rundet en måned i staterne, og alligevel er der så lang tid igen. Vi er nået rigtigt langt på den måned, som har taget os fra sydens varme op til nordens... ja, varme! Vi sveder stadig i temperaturer på 30+, så alt friturefedtet render ud af os, ligeså hurtigt som det kommer ind. Sidste indlæg blev skrevet i Memphis, Tennessee, som føles pokkers langt væk allerede, selvom det kun er et par uger siden. Endnu et par uger som har budt på action og oplevelser, men heldigvis ikke flere bilskift! Faxe holder endnu, og han gør det godt. Efter nogle dage i Memphis gik turen til Nashville - Music City! Et nærmere kig på byen afslørede da også et væld af barer og musiksteder, der ... read more

Mika, Just a quick note...Irma and I have been playing with this thing....and are trying to get were we need to be, to see all the work your doing...I'm not sure were the disconnect is. Hopefully as Irma and I have both sent you "invites" via the "Private Invites" on this site so you can see what we may post....I'm thinking maybe it will help if you sent us invites via that method as well. We worked on trying to get to your site...previously and tonight together on the phone, however there seems to be ...yes some disconnect..as while we can pull up your "username"...there is a prompt to "log in again"...which loops us back to our own "home page"...with still nothing to be found about viewing yours. Please feel free to provide any guideance...I'm kinda ... read more

Just 3 days to go till we leave! Em and I get to share one big suitcase since each additional bag costs a fortune. Matt got all of his into a carry-on; way to go Matt!... read more


Peter Caldis here, Here we go! I hope this is the first of many entries on our trip! Before we start the trip, I will give an overview of what we have planned so far. We're leaving tomorrow (May 27th) from Newark Airport to Dublin, Ireland. We'll be staying for 3 nights in and around Dublin before taking a ferry into the UK (Wales). From there, we take a rental car and spend 3 days/nights going across the English countryside before ending up in London. On June 5th, we join a tour through Alumni World Travel (through the University of Texas at Austin because we missed Maryland's deadline) that we will stay with for the next 3 weeks. After spending time in London, we take a train to Paris, where we will stay for 3 nights. ... read more

No program for this morning. Climate was good. R went for a long walk. He also went to the nearby mall Shopper's and got some banana. I was at home and watched T.V along with DB's mother. Jayanthi and kids came home by 4pm. DJ brought home a classmate/friend Zachary. Shanthi and DB came around 5pm. DJ played with Zachary while we all went to DSW and got slippers for me. Then we went to Coldstone Creamery for ice cream. On the way back home had a look at the swimming pool in the govt. maintained Recreation Park. The Recreation Park supposedly has 40-50 soccer fields....acres and acres of lush land..so well maintained. We saw people playing cricket..mostly Indians..there is a fun park for kids and an amazing swimming pool. Shanthi left soon after we came ... read more

Left at 8:45 and went to Chinmaya Mission. After prayer and meditation there was Gita Chapter 11 lecture for one hour for the adults from 10:30 to 11:30 by swami dherendra. Left from there at 12 and went for lunch to Indique Heights. When we were about to finish our lunch started a discussion on KSM family lineage which we continued in the car. Dropped off Rasshmi at her college. Then we went to a Siva Vishnu temple. After that dropped off Kisshan at the academy. Before dropping him off went to a Bed and Bath store. Shanthi bought me an onion chopper and then picked up dinner for Kisshan at drive-in Burger King, coffee for GS and S and milk shake for us. When we reached Jayanthi's house it was past 6pm. Shanthi and GS ... read more
