Hello world,
I am starting my trip around the world by visiting family, friends, and loved ones here in the states. Unfortunately I will not get to see everyone, but I do wish I could.
Today I took an 11 mile trip down the Colorado River in Glenwood Springs Colorado with Wayne (blood dad), Travis (step brother), and Jim (tour guide). We tried to fish, but were unsuccessful. Still, it was a great sun and rain filled float.
I leave for Tokyo on September 18th. After that the general itenerary goes as follows...Japan, China, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, India, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Spain, Morroco, and the Canary Islands. Then it's off to Buffalo New York to study (as long as I am accepted).
That's the general jist. Thanks for reading.
Take care all,
Shane
