"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...

That's OK, Ben. Just have fun, see and do a lot of new stuff and we'll see all the photos when you get back. This real-time blog thing is a bit of a novelty and we are enjoying it.
Dear Ben & Megan, Skip's right, just soak it all up and don't worry about keeping us all in the loop. Besides, it's just fun checking into the blog to see who's commented. Love & kisses, Mom p.s., use sunscreen
Also, you didn't get 2 of my comments because I screwed up (novelty) and the comments didn't post.
Mary is so funny. I just visit this blog comment stream to read her stuff.

Hi!!! Ben, Mr. Zwick says hi. It's great to be able to see all those places that most likely we won't get to see, so keep the camera rolling. When you come back please come see me, I'll be cooking REAL-ORIGINAL mexican enchiladas for you (I'm very surprised about the mexican restaurant). Keep enjoying the new world.
