Thu, 25 Oct 2012 | By jamesshanks | Views [1370]

What on earth is going on? Where am I? What am I doing? Why haven't I written anything for quite some time?  Blah, blah, blah, blah, BLAH! Truthfully, I'm feeling pretty apathetic about my travel journal. Why is that? (another darn question!) ... Read more >

I was sick as a dog! Bed ridden, nights sweats, feverish! Sickness mixed with jet lag = zombie. Not the most ideal start to my adventure. Within days I'd lost my voice & was communicating via hand signals. Awful! Thankfully a combination of western ... Read more >
