twenty-three

It’s been almost two years since my parents made their epic trek through the Great White North into Alaska, following the Alaskan Highway. They had a great trip, brought back wonderful stories, and count it as a lifetime goal achieved.
They blogged (that’s right, my parents blogged) while on the trip, and posted pictures to share. [...]

I haven’t talked about it a whole lot on my blog, due to the busyness of the quarter, but tomorrow I depart with 14 other INN people to North Carolina for one of our Spring Break Mission Trips!
We’ll be spending a week in Hayesville, NC, working with the Hinton Rural Life Center, helping out with [...]

Ok, I have to be honest. I’m actually home now. We got in yesterday. I’m sipping a cup of French pressed Princeton blend coffee. And now, I’m going to finish the story.
With the subways pretty much out of commission, (oh, you should have heard the New Yorker on the street’s dismay), we took a long [...]

Right now I’m sitting in our Boston hotel room, with a slight headache, tired from a long day of traveling. Stacy and Jo are still sleeping, while Mark and I prep for the day ahead and still work on waking up. It’s 1pm EST.
The last 30 hours have been a whirlwind of travel. We woke [...]

Well, we’re back in the good ol’ Ramada INN of Boston tonight, after our two-day trip North into New England. We’ve seen a lot of country the past couple of days. First, up the coast to Portland, ME, weaving through the seaside towns along the Atlantic. Then across Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont to Burlington, [...]

Bright and early this morning, we crawled out of bed at the Ramada of Boston, hopped on our favorite train into downtown, and picked up a Jetta rental car and headed North. I haven’t been feeling so hot the last day, so I spent most of the morning moving between helping navigate and sleeping.
Starting [...]

The second and third days of our epic Boston trip have come and gone. It’s been quite a whirlwind tour, but by the end of the day today, we have seen most of the sites in Boston we came to see. Which means we’re ready to head north tomorrow, into New England for a night. [...]

Today marks the beginning of our epic trip into the heart of American history. Today we embarked on our first day of walking through the city of Boston. I’ve been pretty excited about this trip for quite some time, as Stacy and I have been talking about it with her parents for a couple of [...]

As this month has been filled with posts from Sean in Africa and a second blog for my parent’s trip to Alaska, I thought it might be fun to also include a little bit from my friend Jesse, who is currently biking across Western Europe. Here’s a note from a few days back, sounds like [...]

I am back in Paris sitting in the Air France Salon Room which I somehow slipped in with a colleague.  Everyone around me is wearing a suit, a tie, or at least a coat…and what am I wearing you ask?
I had hoped to post a bit more during my trip to Niger and am sorry [...]
