Después de tomar de desayuno, nos fuimos al "Route to Tara Museum", museo de la película "Lo que el viento se llevó", amable gesto de Diego, que había notado que Mónica es medio fanática de esa película. Fué una gratísima sorpresa, Mónica estaba recontra happy. Luego nos fuimos a la Coca Cola, donde probé Coca Colas de varias partes del mundo y otras gaseosas que no recuerdo, me compré un gorro bien bacán y me tomé una foto con el oso de Coca Cola. Al salir de ahí dimos una vuelta por el "Underground", en el downtown de Atlanta, estuvo bien para concocer, pero como que no es mi estilo. Desde que llegué a Estados Unidos con Mónica (incluso antes de viajar), ella me había dicho que quería comer en el Olive Garden, y como hoy ... read more

North America » Canada » Nova Scotia » Halifax October 8th 2005

Salty Bear cancelled What a huge disappointment Four days. Halifax! Well the remaining two day tour with Salty Bear was officially cancelled this morning. Kev, our van, was in desperate need of repairs and apparently there were no vans available for rent. So that means I'll be missing out on Peggy's Cove, Annapolis Royal and the Bay of Fundy. To make myself feel a little bit better I saw on the weather channel that there is a big meteorological warning out for the area...lots and lots of rains are on the way! So after hearing the bad weather forecast it didn’t seem so bad after all. It's not that great travelling about and trying to sightsee when it is pouring rain out. Instead I made the most of my day and had a bite to eat ... read more

Hello reader. I'm at the very front end of a life changing journey. I'll be leaving for Europe in about a week. Right now I'm preparing for my trip, doing some last minute chores before I can leave. I have bought most everything I'll need. I have a backpack, a nice camera, good shoes, a journal, a guide book, and, of course, cliff bars. I have been talking to people online using couchsurfing.com as a resource from which I can gain potential contacts in Europe. I'll be traveling by myself. My father did the same when he was younger. He would always tell me stories about his adventures in Europe, which only served to whet my appitite even more. I know that I'll have my own stories to tell. And I'll use this site to tell ... read more

8th, 9th, 10th October - Thanksgiving weekend Kat text me and asked me if I wanted to go up to Whistler as she had a ride up there. Thought it would be cool to see the town before all the snow came. The drive up there was amazing... You drive along the waters edge. It will be so awesome when there is more snow. Kat went on a hike so I met up with Debbie, Kendall, Laura and Peter who were all staying down there in a backpackers for the weekend. Whistler was very cute. A classic snow town! It was a lot bigger then I thought. We spent the day looking around the shops. There was a massive sale on called the Turkey sale (its Thanksgiving). Everything from last season was hugely discounted and new ... read more

It’s almost here, only one day until I leave for New Zealand. I have been looking forward to this moment since I first got the idea to go to New Zealand to live and work for a year. I am completely ready to go except for the fact that I haven't packed yet. Everything is clean and ready to go I just have yet to go through the actual process of putting my things into my suitcase. Packing for an entire year creates a slight dilemma however because it is quite hard to figure out everything I will need for a year. I am trying not to bring too much, but a year is a long time and what if I decide not to pack that pair of sweats and then later on I realize how ... read more


Planning for our trip...that is what we have been doing lately. We have made so many changes to our itinerary already, and are still trying to figure out airfare. We want our trip to remain spontanious, but also want to spend as little money as possible on tickets and transportation. As I am writing this, I am actually sitting in an i-net cafe nestled right at the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas. My husband is climbing Mt. Whitney, the tallest Mt. in the contiguous United States! He stared this morning at 3am, and hopes to be done by 3pm. There is snow up there though, which could slow him down (I made him rent some cramp-ons yesterday...just to ease my mind). So, I thought I'd take this opportunity to set up our travel blog instead of ... read more

Well, dear friends, Evi and I are leaving on our trip in 5 days. Currently we are packing, storing, cleaning, planning, but we're ahead of the game! On October 11 we fly to Zurich, Evi's city of birth, and home of her brother, cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends. Her parents are in Basel, one hour away by train. We're excited but frankly a bit nervous about the great unknown in front of us. However, as a great philosopher once said, it's easier to control the present than the future, so we'll just take what comes our way. (Oh, that philosopher was me!)... read more

I just spent half an hour writing about what I've been up to for the last three weeks but lost it all when I tried to do a spell check. So sorry here are the Pictures that will tell the story better than I could anyway. Love Jo... read more
