The other side ot the world...

The beginning of this blog finds me awaiting a military flight to Tokyo. I am on a tour of the Pacific because I just dis-enrolled from the Air Force Academy and could not pass up the opportunity of free flights! For the last week I have been "stuck" in Hawaii trying to get to Asia. I have been camping on the beach and airport terminals... meeting and ministering to people in ways I did not expect.

There is something about being on a public bus with a backpack equipped with everything you need to live on, that makes open to conversation. People that normally would not talk, ask questions and want to hear about where you have been and where you are going. I have meet several Englishmen, a charming couple from Albuquerque, an amazing Latvian, Hawaiians, a group from the Laguana Beach area, and the list goes on...

To catalogue my previous travels and my travels while I in Europe I have decided to open a new blog. The blog will tell the story of "my dirty backpack" (a red Ospry backpack that travels cheap thus getting dirty... I guess it's a bad name if you have to explain it).
