Just a quickie just so you know I made it this far!.. Big hold ups all the way over...from Philippine airline people saying I won't get into the states w'out an ongoing ticket....call to Grant, insist its ok...finally they let me on...then a 2 hour delay anyway....then to Sydney, then to Manilla...about 8 hours from Sydney....great to be back in hot and sweaty weather...I'll save some stories of Manila til later...extensive security checks, lightning strike that knocked out the power...more delays...then the 13 hour flight to LA....caught up with Grant, pulled into a little roadside bar and had a couple of Fosters.....

Hey Guys time for a bit of a catch up. This is what I wrote on June 14th for a journal entry. I’m writing this Blog form a lovely little flat in the middle of Vancouver. Lace and I are staying with a couple of her mates from home Tommo and Ali. Vancouver Island was great, all the people we meet where so laid back and friendly.

Of course, that's when the water fights started. ... read more

Huatulco, Oaxaca, México 21:00 We spent a wonderful week of Oaxaca together. I believe it was one of the most marvelous weeks of my whole travel. Today she left me. She is going back home and I continue my journey south. I wrote a longer report in Spanish and Slovene. - TANIA SE FUE 21:00 Ayer, después de unos momentos muy emocionados, nos quedamos dormidos en una hamaca pequeña - los dos. No podría dormir, me sentía muy incomodo por el poco espacio. A las 2 me desperté y empecé a leer la "Constitución de Federación del Mundo", que me dio en Tepoztlán, Reinhard Ruge, el nominado para el Premio Nóbel de la Paz - la constitución me dejó fascinado! Es de verdad una propuesta real de cómo llegar a un mundo unido - Leela aquí ... read more
