Lovin' summer: A Beginning
In and around United States
Hi!
For those new to my Blog, I left my job at Keithley in June and travelled the US. Visited many great places and got reacquainted with some dear friends, made a few new ones, and really got back to being myself.
More information at Myspace: www.myspace.com/jchonko
Spending some time in Ohio with friends and family until I depart again in October. Headed to New Hampshire for the fall colors, Massachusetts, and New York City for Halloween fun.
Leaving for New Zealand on November 3rd.
Yeehaa!!
