Minneapolis, MN January 10, 2010 6:42pm Even though I haven’t been home for very long, I’ve already spent some time thinking about what my favorite part of the trip was. I think my answer is the people I met and made friends with. I miss the company of Susie and Michael during my time in the Outback, along with Lorenzo giving commentary on all sorts of things.

Minneapolis, MN January 10, 2010 3:03pm I am finally home after a month on the other side of the globe. The last leg of my journey was somewhat eventful.

Joanne is reading, and three ladies from Slovakia are playing cards, while the rest of our crew and the other passengers are above deck playing various board and card games with Michael Jackson playing in the background. Although …continue reading
