I’m back from Puerto Rico! I can’t write much because it’s 2:30 am and I have class in a few hours, but I will definitely update you soon, it was AMAZING! Oh, and it’s awesome that your dad and Liz came to visit! Did you have fun?

Anyhow the next day we had to buy the expensive tourist boat ticket as no one would tell us how to get to the local pier so we could catch the ferry, and finally got to our destination, quite grumpy really!
Express Boat to Ko Phangan
Needless to say our ‘happy-to-be-travell-o-meter’ was only sitting at about [...]
We’ve finally found a space and time to update our blog! We are in Bangkok, in the infamous khao san road backpacker paradise, and it is monsooning outside, so we’re taking refuge in here… To fill you in on the last 10 days…wow! We headed back to Phuket town by local bus (which looks like [...]
Fred and I are going to see the world together!
China is a challenge. If Japan were the immaculate, sleepy village in the south of France, China would be the loudmouthed, gum smacking American tourist terrorizing it’s streets. Arriving directly from Japan, the contrast is absolutely shocking. When on a train [...]
Ahhh, Hanoi. This is the Asia everyone dreams about when they think of modern Asia.

Residents of Hanoi were smart to leave intact the remnants of the French colonization period. The French architecture clashed in a [...]

Lists…I have never been a fan…must be a male thing…well, that’s my excuse and I know it’s lame! Truth be told, lists are a reality check: “You need to..” and sometimes it’s overwhelming to see how much needs to get done. I must admit though that I have done better than usual keeping and [...]
Hello Family and Friends,
Well this is Michael, coming to you from the sunny, really hot, and amazing capitol city of Thailand. Peace can be found, even in the most hectic city i’ve ever been. People are always talking and quite often they’re talking to us. The “Backpackers Mecca” as it’s been so aptly named has [...]
