Blogger: Katie Location: Paris, Texas. Howdy everyone! Well, we're in Texas as DJ told you. We just pulled off at a rest stop about 15 miles ago or so to switch out. I could only bang out about 100miles. Thankfully we're almost there. It is weird though to think that we are almost at our destination. It's been a really neat experience to drive across the country out here to Texas. It's too bad that DJ wasn't feeling well. But thank you all for your comments and well wishes. I'm sure that we will continue to update for the next couple of days as DJ gets settled in. Also weird. According to the map at the rest stop of Texas, there are different major regions of Texas, I believe it was 5, and they are all ... read more

Thursday June 14th the Cozy Turtle hit the road bound for Alaska. We left at 7:15 am. The second time we left at 7:45 am. We hadn’t gone far before we found we had forgotten our favorite CD’s! So back we went to retrieve our music. When we left home it was cool and cloudy with off and on rain.(sort of like Alaska, I think). Our route took us west.

A steel gray sky; a light gray highway; mountains that were dark gray shrouded in an almost white mist; gray barns ... read more

We deplaned in Houston at 6:45pm and had to get a shuttle to Terminal B, then tram to Terminal D/E and catch our flight to Guatemala City by 7:10pm! We made it, out of breath at 7:05! Breathing a sigh of relief, we boarded the plane and proceeded to taxi in line for over 2 hours! ... read more

Well, I thought I wouldn't have to write to you until I got to London, but I forgot an important part - where I have to sit here and make small talk with the hott girl (2 seats down) for 2 hours and 10 minutes until our flight takes off to london. I really would take her to go eat at one of the restaurants, but you know, I have to save money. We all know Christine is going to want something. Haha, I'm just kidding. I mean, I have to buy her something. Come on now, how many times are you in Rome? I'd rather buy her something than go impress this person with money that I don't have. Well, it's getting to an awkward silence, and it looks like she's about to leave ... read more
