Apparently Atlanta’s airport is the busiest in the world. Almost a million ‘airplane movements’ last year. While I am still waiting for a brave airline to start offering fares based on body weight (never in America because of the lard-ass lobby), there’s news on the wire that airlines are trying to lighten their loads by [...]

Our last day in Barbados was incredible. How could we leave such a beautiful place, where we have found such peace, calm, hospitality, kindness and relaxation? It wasn’t easy, but we had to leave. As David said, “If we don’t leave here, we won’t be able to experience the next place.” And there will definitely [...]

The kitchen is packed. I’ve just unplugged the fridge and it’s defrosting. Hopefully there won’t be a huge puddle tomorrow for me to clean up. This weekend is my last weekend working the live sound job. I’ve got until monday 6:30pm to be packed and out of my apartment. It’s getting frantic…I can’t believe this [...]

Saw the airport, it had some interesting pictures of space on the wall. It also had a lot of american people. And I left a u-bender in the toilet. Onwards to El Salvador!

What’s that about?? Did I miss something in Geography? Oh wait, they don’t teach you geography in Catholic School… [...]

Happy birthday Kristin. Twenty years old and never been kissed. NOT! Not much time for loggy-gagging around this morning. We called Francis, our friendly taxi driver (thanks to Kris), and he’s coming to pick us up at 11:00 to get us to the airport in time for our 1pm flight. 01. Anita at breakfast    [...]

Our drive to Atlanta took under 12 hours. There’s lots of trees here. We’re staying with Joel and Celina and their puppy – Hansel (so hot right now!!!) Ben went to College in San Diego with Joel and he and Cel are getting married next year. Yesterday was Ben’s 28th. We found an Aussie bakery [...]
