We left you dangling in Hong Kong back in June 2011. Since then, a lot has happened. To give you the shortened run-down... We ran the Olympic Day Race at Disney Land Hong Kong. We both finished in times better than we expected and were quite happy. We also saw a population of pink dolphins living in the Hong Kong harbor. These guys are endangered and are legitimately pink. Also witnessed two Dragon Boat competitions, spent a lot of money in an arcade playing games with crazy Asian grandmothers... Continue reading...

So the last time I wrote anything about our trip, we were holed up in a hotel room in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. That was over two months ago. It's hard to think about what's happened in those two months, but since then we've visited 6 countries! That includes Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and now China/Hong Kong. Since we arrived in Thailand from Bali, we've traveled 7,191 miles by airplane, train, bus, sleeper bus, minibus, and even slow boat. We've seen some of the most am... Continue reading...

My parents always like to tell me that when I was a tike, I was smart enough to teach myself to read. I don't know how someone 'teaches themself', but they stand by their story. I always had a hard time believing it, especially when literature and English classes were never my strengths in school. When I was in fourth grade, I was kept after school many days because I had no idea how to read for comprehension. Essentially, I would read a story, understand what I was reading, but not be ab...

There was a
guy riding on the top of a truck. There was another on a motor bike carrying
five of the gallon jugs of water. A woman rode by on another motor bike with
three children clinging on for dear life. A white guy weaved in and out of the
already chaotic traffic with a surfboard somehow rigged to stay on. One man
rode a bicycle with straw-hats, dust brushes, and some form of plant piled on
his back. There were countless other scenes that we absorbed during our short
hou... Continue reading...

Uluru. Ayer's Rock. The highlight of our journey to Australia. If you ever get the chance to visit Australia, and choose to visit the Red Center, chances are you are going to visit Uluru. And if you visit, and are not moved by the amazement of this lonely, massive red rock, then you are simply not human.
Our trip to Uluru was a three-day journey sandwiched between two 24-hour train travels on The Ghan, from Adelaide to Alice Springs, and vice versa. The temperature reached 45 deg C (113 d...

Since many of you at home have never stayed in a hostel, I thought I'd offer some insight into hostel living... Some nights you fall asleep happily listening to your MP3 player, knowing that your stuff is safe and you are the only one in the room. Then, a few hours later the sun rises and you hear snoring. Then a toilet flushes. Then a door closes, or rather, is slammed. You’re hesitant to open one eye let alone both and there you have it. Four, sometimes six, and even up to eight other head...

So far the
experiences have been great and the moments that Andrew and I have shared are
definitely for the history books. So after seventy-two days of travelling, I
found myself reflecting. As I listened to Johnny Cash and scanned the farming
scenery for any indication of a kangaroo, I started to think about all that we’ve
seen and accomplished so far. The photos show pretty much everything, but if I
could turn back time and bring everyone with me to those certain places and
moments…what... Continue reading...

Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! I resolve to write more blogs for the website this year. And make them fun reads. Not today though. We're off to the blue mountains, and won't be back until late. I know that Casey and I have been very light on the blogs since we took off in October, but we're going to do our best to update everyone a bit more often now that we're getting into the flow of backpacker life. Even without the blogs, we are doing out best to create lifetime memories on this t... Continue reading...

So today was supposed to be a day of "catching up on things". We had no plans. We paid for 24 hours of GOOD internet. We weren't supposed to have any fun. This morning we chatted with both sets of parents and one of two Hocker brothers (Kenny). We did our laundry so we wouldn't smell anymore. We attempted to cook a decent meal, but the kitchen was so gross we (sorry to say) ended up at McDonald's, and we even planned out our train route! So what went wrong/right? While in the lobby pestering t... Continue reading...

First of all, Happy Birthday to Casey! I know I'm over a week late, but man this New Zealand tour is hectic. We started the celebrations in Curlys Bar in Waitomo, where we had a dress up party in bin bags (trash bags, for all you back home). I went as a monk with a fu manchu and Casey was a pirate (sidetrack--A pirate walks into a bar wearing a paper towel on his head. He sits down at the bar and orders some dirty rum. The bartender asks, "Why are you wearing a paper towel?" "Arrr..." says... Continue reading...
