After dropping Gillian off in Denver we pushed on with the last leg of our tour that would include our faithful and strudy Chuck. There are some interesting places en route from Colorado to the Grand Canyon. A brief summary of our impressions of those that we saw.... Pueblo - not as bad as everyone said it would be, however, we arrived in the dark and left early the next morning. We think of it as the Colorado version of Beatty (ie not much apart from a Motel 6 room). Trinidad - yes, Trinidad. Where we had breakfast after leaving Pueblo - right on the Colorado/New Mexico border. An old mining town with its heart and soul kicked out of it. Lovely historic buildings in desperate need of a face lift. Las Vegas, New Mexico - ... read more

Kiaora!!!! Well let me update you since my last entry...After I finished my travelblog yesterday, I went down to visit the Flatiron Building not far from Empire State. Its basically the first skycraper built in NYC and its dam skinny..When it was first built people were scared it was going to fall over..So yeah that was interesting...After that I went up to Madison Square Garden. Which to be honest I wasn't all the impressed with, I was more impressed with the United States Postal Office next door and when I eventually get round to posting photos you'll see why:-)...Anyways headed back to the hostel after that and went out for dinner with one of my roomies 'Maria' from London..We got handed these discount passes for this comedy show, so we went down and checked that out!!! ... read more

Hello there folks, well it did not take long before I went on my travels once again. As a birthday treat I have treated myself to a weekend away in Boston, MA in the USofA. My stop over in Dublin was nice - I just love the Irish accent, unfortunately I didn't pick up a Craig Doyle look-a-likey to bring home with me. So far I have been window shopping, visited the Cheers pub, done some more window shopping, sat and looked studious with a big book in the Harvard Campus - got mistaken for a local, twice, so I must have looked intelligent enough - and done yet more shopping. I have felt like I have been walking around a movie set, the place is really clean and picturesque. The people here fit exactly ... read more

Wow ... I can't believe it. In only 5 days, I will be leaving on my trip. It's surreal to think that it's already here. The months flew by ... and I still have tons to do before I leave. Purchase supplies, Eurail passes and insurance ... pack up my room ... say goodbye to my friends and loved ones. As excited as I am about leaving on this wonderful adventure, I'm a little sad to say goodbye. The trip is only a little over two months, but it's quite a large chunk of time when you think about it. What does this trip have in store for me?  I'm hoping for a whole new perspective on life, a clarity that is difficult to achieve while going through the routines of your everyday life. I hope ... read more
