So, one thing I've learned about myself over time is if I want to accomplish something big, the best way is to tell people about it. This isn't a fail-proof plan mind you, but it usually gives me an incentive to actually achieve what I say I will, or I'll look foolish. So when I was abroad, and even before that, I came up with a list of stories I ( Read more... )

So, I've been home now for a little over a week, and in less than a week will be going to Hawaii, which should be fun. I have decided to give myself about a full month to think on what I will do now that I'm back. The primary thing at this point is to try and write and get as much done for my book about my trip as possible, but that's extremely ( Read more... )

That's right, I'm home. Let the games begin, and by games I mean Monopoly and Risk of course.

I'm not really in Dublin, I'm in an airport outside of Dublin, but it's easier just to write that I'm in Dublin... Anyway, So I'm safe now for those of you who were concerned and tomorrow, yes tomorrow, I'm flying back to the good ol' US and A. And I'll be checking the lovely airport of O'Hare in Chicago and then on to my natal city of Denver, and ( Read more... )

So, I was going to wait to go home to write all my cool and crazy anecdotes, stories and so on from my trip, but this couldn't wait, and maybe I won't be able to go home to tell it, at least no time soon or capacitated if the psycho is still around ( Read more... )

So, I haven't had access to the internet for a while, and I must say I'm looking forward to returning home to get it again. I just went on a three day trek to the Sahara desert stoping in Todra Gorge and Merzouga, a city quite close to the Algerian border. Anyway, I'm feeling good now, but it's coming down to going home. And as you may or may ( Read more... )

So, I'm flying through Morocco much quicker than I expected and am thinking if I can't find a tour of the desert in the next two or so days that I may just stay here for a few days and make up the celerity of my last few cities, and then go to the presumably warmer and nicer Essaoura, but that remains to be seen. So tonight I met a nice family, ( Read more... )

Yep, that's right the place the nazi's presumably murdered Humphrey Bogart, though I haven't stumbled on his corpse yet, only a huge mosque, which I hope to visit tomorrow. Mosques are a bit rare to visit for infidels like me in this part of the world, and I believe this is the second largest mosque in the world, and I can't even enter the city of ( Read more... )

Well, it's pretty gnarley or awesome if you like. Anyway, it is much nicer to be in a city where you don't freeze your fingers off, even if it costs you ten more dirhams a night to sleep. I don't know how I did this, but I blew through the money I withdrew already, that was bloody fast, so it's sad but I think I have to take out a lot more for ( Read more... )

So, I am now further inland in Morocco, but at least I have a good hostel. I am pretty excited to be here, and to go back home soon, but it'll be about two weeks still. Hopefully that will be enough time for the economy to clear up so I can find work when I get home. Merry Christmas to everyone and I miss you all. Oh and I figured out that this ( Read more... )
