Today I met up with my good friend Abena who used to live in NZ. I’ve been promising this girl for 4 years that I will come and visit her “next year” since she moved over! Finally “next year” turned into next week, then tomorrow, and now today! She took me into her campus - John Hopkins Uni. We had lunch and this Indian restaurant. My goodness the food was good!! We hung out with her friend in her beautiful apartment. It has these insane little back door & mesh on the window, looking like a prison. When you go inside you find they're two level homes (although 2 bedrooms) with gorgeous interior. I was really inspired by the african decor in the home. Dinner was spent at my aunty’s place. That was great - meeting ... read more

Thursday January 19th, 2006 http://www.travelblog.org/gmaps/map_Ej.html Link of flight map from BWI to Prague. Oh my, what a busy day. Bill - Paul and Melanie arrived at our house about four-thirty in the afternoon to take us to BWI airport. Our flight was scheduled to lift off at eight-forty five in the evening. We were both exhausted from the frenzied activities of the last two days, much of Nancy’s time had been spent revising our wills that our lawyer had totally messed up., With help (from another lawyer) we were able to file a better copy with the Register of Wills at our county courthouse. We are under no illusions that our latest will is prefect, but we are confident that it is not the total disaster of the one we replaced. This plus having the oil ... read more

Welcome to my blog! For those who don't know what a blog is it is an online journal that you can write whatever you want in, just like a journal that you keep at home except that blogs are (usually) public. My blog is a travel blog so I will tell you mostly details of my trip. I'm still in the USA but I've posted some pictures from a trip I took to india 5 years ago. I've been looking at them myself and getting excited to return.... read more

Its finally time to take-off- It was an early morning for mom and i, getting last minute things, making sure i had all of my medications for my diabetes and such, and finally driving to Baltimore to catch the plane. I guess i was a little nervous, barely ate anything, although my mom bought me a delicious lunch. So mom gave me gold fishes to munch on while i was on the plane. I think i was more excited than anything, but upset that i was leaving zach and home for the next 2 months.. here are a few pics of my bags being packed, the group of us before take-off, the first plane ride where jen almost ripped my hand off(first flyer!!) and my oh-so delicious meal i ate, NOT. Oh yea and my first ... read more

Another quick entry. We're staying with Sherry's aunt Diane and uncle Alan in Sparks, MD, just north of Baltimore. Yesterday we took mass transit out of Manhattan to NJ to pick up our car, then we drove to Philadelphia for lunch w/ my friend Sean and his wife Dea. As has been the case all along our trip route, we were running about 2-3 hours late, but we had a nice mid-afternoon bite at Sean and Dea's old pizza place, Garrett Hill Pizza near Villanova, PA. I'd definitely recommend a stop at GHP if you're in the area. This morning was spent consuming coffee and a home-cooked breakfast with great grits. In a word, Yum. Today we'll probably just relax before heading south to Washington DC tomorrow. Probably the funniest thing that's happened over the past ... read more
