Travel Buddy Wanted!






I want to go to Madeira Island in late January or early February. There are great prices on flights from London, and great prices on spa resorts on the island. Madeira is nicknamed the "floating garden"...which only increases my insistence that I find myself there immediately. Any takers?

They Don't Give Thanks Over Here..

...and that's only part of my disillusionment with Europe in general, and London in particular. Anyhow, I'm throwing Londontown the deuces for Thanksgiving and flee-ing to Paris in hopes of some revitalization for my beaten down soul. I haven't been talking about it, but the last month has been hell for me here. Paris will be a welcome change, whether i like the city or not.


Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Despite my struggles, I'm so thankful to God for everything...including the ability and opportunity to travel around the world. I don't take my blessings lightly.


Pictures soon to come!

Obama-Mania in Londontown

I'll be in Leicester Square tonight celebrating the awesomeness that is President-elect Barack Obama.

I'm still in shock, but I can't wipe this grin off my face...
