Here it is, I'm going to see the world. Following that, I want to live and work in D.C. in foreign relations/affairs. State Department, anyone? Since I just left D.C. my trip begins NOW...
Here's the itinerary:
-A short stay in North/Southern California to gather provisions and pack...
-Fly to Taiwan...live there for a year working and saving money (maybe buy a scooter)
-Off to the Philippines...
-Hope over to Thailand...
-Jump to Bombay (but I don't think it's called that anymore) -- whatever, some place in India!
-From there to Dubai (UAE)
-Flight to Amman, Jordan (also visit Petra)
-Travel (maybe by land) to Cairo
-Cross the Mediterranean to Athens OR Rome it's a toss up at this point...either way...
-I'm in Europe stop through any number of the EU Member Countries
-Up to London/Scotland
-Jump over to Ireland
-Fly back to DC...
Total time: I'm banking on 1 year and 4-6 months.

Quack, Quack
I had the best Memorial Day Weekend...EVER! I just got back from spending some time in Washington, D.C. and Duck Beach in the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
D.C. I'll get to in a moment. For now, let us turn our attention to Duck Beach. I really had no idea what to expect. I figured a beach house full of good friends, new friends, the house weirdo, some great food, and relaxing on the beach. My expectations were blown out of the water -- in a good way. The house I was staying in had 25 of the most awesome people ever! Even the house weirdo rocked! The food was ahhh-mazing! Kudos to Brittney on her culinary expertise. There were a lot of other houses down there that were part of our "group" but none compared to savory delights. There was a beach volley-ball tournament, crab hunting, and best of all, NO DRAMA....at least not in our house.
As a fun side-note, I learned a new phrase this weekend. "NCMO" (pronounced 'NICMO') meaning Non-Committal Make-Out HILARIOUS! For whatever reason, I think that is just so funny. Have you had your NCMO, today???
Post Week-end I returned to D.C. with my friends and explored the District a bit more. I love that city. Love it, love it, love it. I've been several times since 2004 and really want to make that my home. So here's the latest: Starting at 10:00 am EST Thursday, May 31, 2007 I started my AROUND-THE-WORLD venture...

Q-TIPS to block out John Tesh's voice!!!
This happened the other night....
It's late. I'm tired and just all around exhausted. What I need right now is some music. Yes, music to wake me up. Unfortunately there are only two stations that could possibly do the trick. One is riddled with commercials, so I turn to the ever-trusted 101.3....and then I hear that voice.
It's John Tesh. And at that point I immediately fall asleep at the wheel and veer into the other lane wiping out the Christian Van next to me killing the driver and the 8 kids inside....all because of John Tesh's disturbingly calm voice!!! I hate his voice and want him off the radio and in a medium where he can't talk...EVER!
