The Waiting Game Why does everyone wait until the last minute to put themselves on standby? Flight to Buenos Aires is looking fuller. Guess it is now down to waiting to see if we get on or not. I hope we win this game.... read more

Howdy! If you're planning on being in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area I highly suggest you go to the Stockyards in Fort Worth to get a real Texas (aka Tejas) experience. I was previously in Fort Worth, I had an exchange student arrive from Germany and I wanted to show her around. There was actually a group of us with exchange students and we all piled onto a bus and decided to go to the Stockyards. Eating While there I noticed many people dressed up with cowboy outfits, Steak Houses (I reccomend a place called Risky's Steakhouse*), even a Stock Yard Hotel! There food here is actually pretty good**, I enjoy ribs but I enjoy steak more, so naturally that's what I requested. It was amazing! Definetly worth trying! ** If I may offer a tip, when ... read more

Much of Fort Worth, particularly the area we were in, has been kept very traditional so although the cattle pens were empty it was easy to imagine how they would have been when in full operation. Next stop was a huge horse barn with around 30 horses stabled in it. We got chatting to ... read more

About 5 days to go until I head off to South America. My travel plans are starting to come together -- at least for the first half of the trip. I'll leave Wednesday morning and fly to Miami where I have a four hour layover and before catching a flight to Lima. After arriving at 9:45 pm, going through immigration, baggage, and customs should be done in about an hour. From there I'll head over to the LAN airline counter and check-in for my 4:20 am flight to Iquitos and the rainforest. That means about 4-5 hours waiting in the airport -- probably without sleep. Fortunately, they have a great food court, 24-hour internet access, and an excellent restaurant that looks out over the airport from above. I've spent the night in the airport a couple ... read more
