Volcano Time

Day: 137 After a restless night of tossing and turning (kind of an uncomfortable bed) I finally rolled out of bed around eight-thirty. Within minutes my roommate, Jeremy came in and asked “You want to go upstairs and get some breakfast?” “Sure.” I replied, “Just give me a sec to brush my teeth.” “Ok. I’ll [...]

Foreign Again

Day: 136 Just a few minutes after midnight on day one-three-six and I am sitting in terminal 207 of Ontario International Airport in a black pleather chair waiting for my flight to board and take off to Costa Rica. The recent terrorist plans in London have this whole place feeling like a jail. Heavily armed [...]

Back to Cali

Day:135 Time to go home, a week for me before Costa Rica, and back to pushing the last legal drug for Aaron, Matt and Chad.  Lei Lani and Christina had somehow manage to miss their flight this morning (Lei Lani seems to have a knack for not getting on the plane on time (no offense [...]

Small Plans

Day: 134 My brother, Aaron, came into Vegas late last night to meet up with his friend Ian’s bachelor party. I thought I’d be for the best if I made my way to the Aladdin to see what kind of trouble they’ve been getting into. Also I wanted to possibly partake in any party that [...]

We decided, with no big [...]

The Forever Drive

Day: 131 Startled from my sleep as Matt pulled the car off the road next to the Welcome to Utah sign, I noticed a beautiful sunrise coming up over the desert. We all got creative really quickly, shot one picture and loaded back in the car where I fell asleep again. The sleep was short [...]

And We Drive

Day: 130 Getting up after noon, the four of us had agreed to do a 24 hour day of driving from Ceder Falls, Iowa to Las Vegas, Nevada where Matt’s dad lives, and we have another free place to stay. It was roughly 1800 miles and complete exhaustion for all off us. I was up [...]

A Series of Random Events

Day: 129 Waking up in some random Motel 6 somewhere in Illinois our goal for the day was to drive Skittles into Iowa to stay with one of Aaron’s marine buddies who was going to show us around a small town Iowa(ian?) night. We drove for a few hours before our first stop at a [...]
