"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore! Dream! Discover!" -Mark Twain
“We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey.”
-John Hope Franklin
The experience of traveling creates memories and stories that stay with you forever. These memories not only put a smile on your face, but the stories help others grin and chuckle as well. Numerous family members and friends are interested in my travels and I figured this would be the best way to share some of my tales. I also hope everyone who reads this page can live vicariously through me; if not for just the short time it takes you to read the new posts.
Saint Augustine said, “The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page." I believe this to be true, so even if you do not get to see some of these places for yourself, I will do my best to summarize and show you what I can. What follows will be a sort of "Cliffnotes", if you will, reported to the best of my ability, that will help you get through that "World book", page by page, place by place, experience by experience...

I will have so much fun following your travels while you and Megan are gone. However, I have a question. How will you be adding to the blogg? Are you taking a laptop or will you be using free internet usage at different cafes? Should I "talk" to you through the blogg or should I e-mail you at your e-mail address? Love you! Oooka

hope all is well
I know the plane left late

B&M,
Crikey! Start each morning with Vegimite on toast. I'm all over this blog! Please take pics of Down Under Welding stuff for me. Denise is collecting recipes to use on you when you come out to the desert later.
FOR PETE'S SAKES, BEN!! It's been several
days and there is no blog beyond your initial entry.
Surely you can't sleep the whole time you are Down Under!
we are all here to go for some mexican food, laurie, vinnie, sylvia, mom and me, going to get some good chips and salsa
let me see, kangaroo tacos, koala salsa, oh boy
everyone sends best wishes
Ben and Megan -- It sounds like the two of you are having a wonderful time learning about drinking beer.
Oops. That first posting got away from me. Tim, Bill, Rosanne, Kelly and I had a great time in Boston. We went to Mike's and also found Trani's. I had a yummy eclair! We did all of our sightseeing by walking or taking the train. It was great! However, I would rather be where you are!
So what beers did you find to drink today?
Take care and send more photos!
By the way, are you checking your Boston U e-mails?
Love ya!
Oooka
