Comments make me smile!

I know I make it seem as though my travels have already begun, and in reality, it feels like they have.
For the past year I have been living in a small studio in Wailuku, Hawaii. Last week, I began the laborious process of throwing away/selling EVERYTHING I OWNED that didn’t make the “backpack cut” so [...]

As I sit working at a table at an outdoor mall in Kahului, Maui, Hawaii. I feel a flake brush against my arm. I look around and see more of it everywhere. It begins to fall more heavily as I frantically try to keep my computer and wireless modem safe. Is it snowing in Maui?

Feel like seeing an $86 show on the Wailea oceanfront for free?
Its easier than you might expect.
At the Wailea Marriot on Maui, there is an outdoor “luau” Monday through Saturday. A luau in the modern day is basically a big outdoor show with lots of food for the tourists to stuff their face with (the [...]

My arrival was made very positive by my beautiful fiance Julie who I [...]

The process in the Philippines is FAR more thorough than the US. We went [...]

I am sitting at McDonalds in Manila, and six Indian gentleman just sat next to me a little while ago. I had seen them earlier in the Hotel (Nichol’s Airport Hotel). They were also [...]

Well, today marks the day we depart from the Philippines and I go back to Maui to get some work done before continuing on to California, and ultimately, Europe.
Reflections on the trip overall will be short, as I feel somewhat in-between. It was effective work-wise only in the last few days of travel, and the [...]

A little over a week ago, when we discovered the “Art Café” in El Nido (Philippines), I discovered something else: A new addition to what I call my “traveler’s soundtrack”.
My traveler’s soundtrack is simply the music on my MP3 player. I have a single gigabyte “Sansa Express” by Sandisk. The regular “Sansas” come with the [...]

We just had the most exciting, action-film-like, and comical boarding experience I’ve ever seen, heard about, or experienced.
We got off the flight I had written the previous blog post on with only minutes to spare until we needed to be at the gate of our connection. Upon purchasing the tickets, Scott had been told it [...]

Ok, here’s the update I promised you.
It will be brief, as the past few days have not been terribly eventful.
As you probably know, we have been in “Puerto Princessa”, a city (and a very clean one at that) in Palawan. We have been spending time at “Aloha House”, an intensely Christian orphanage that has implemented [...]
