I’m getting ready to go to Papua New Guinea (PNG). My original plan was to fly to Port Moresby back in July when I was in the Solomon Islands. However, the flight schedule from Honiara was too unpredictable. There was only one flight a week and it was expensive and really didn’t fit into the …
After 6 months, I finally arrived back in Wisconsin yesterday. I’ll be here until June 11 when I fly to Colorado to take part in the annual TBEX Travel Bloggers conference. My mother’s house is the closest thing I have in the world to a home base if for no other reason than I have …
A quick update to explain where I’ve been lately… The last week of travel was brutal. I went from Bangkok to Tokyo to Honolulu to Seattle to San Francisco to Las Vegas to Minneapolis to Green Bay.

I’m putting up the bat signal on this one. I prefer to keep my posts on the website on topic with my trip, but I need help and I figure it would be easiest to just make a general plea. There are several things I’d like to fix on my site before I leave Melbourne …
I think I’ll be in Hong Kong for a few more days. I have resolved myself to not leave here until I am caught up on my photo processing and have gotten ahead a few posts. My cold is for the most part gone. I have finished all my photos from South Korea and have …
As my trip creeps ever closer, the reality of it is starting to permeate my thinking about everyday stuff. Over the next two years, I’ll be living out of a bag. The amount of “stuff” I’ll have at my disposal is going to shrink dramatically. I’d guess that 90% of the “stuff” I’ll be carrying …
Here is the view of my backyard taken this morning: Before you start swooning over the beauty of the snow covered trees and the ice covered lake (especially if you’re from an area where it doesn’t snow), let me remind you that winter royally sucks. It gets old after the first dozen or so you …
