Hey everybody. If I haven't talked to you in the past few months let me get you up to speed.
Starting tomorrow, July 30th, Erik and I are taking a trip around the world (that still sounds strange to say). We will be gone until the beginning of November.
Our Itinerary:
We are flying out of San Francisco Friday afternoon and arriving in Hong Kong Saturday afternoon. From there we will travel to Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, India, Germany, Czech Rep., Slovakia, Hungary, Italy, Switzerland, France, England, and Scotland. We are flying back to the US on November 1st.
So you may be thinking, "Why a trip around the world?" or "You're 23, get a job" or "I wish the McRib would come back to McDonalds." Well let me explain.
I graduated a year ago and worked this past year as a graphic designer around Raleigh. After about a month working in a cubicle I decided I needed to do something crazy. I needed to take a trip. Since I never studied abroad in school and have never been overseas, I decided to take 3 months and go around the world. After a year and a lot of research, our trip was set.
As far as the McRib thing goes, I totally agree. I could definitely go for a McRib right now.
Now, since my laziness in making a listserve out weighs my distaste for blogging, I decided to create this travel blog. We will be updating this site throughout our trip, posting photos, videos, and possibly the occasional fund solicitation. Feel free to comment on anything or send us emails. We will both be checking our emails at internet cafes throughout our trip.
Well I guess that's about it. See you on the flipside.
In the meantime here's a video of my 15 yr old dog Champ. Enjoy.

Nick- haven't talked in a while, but I hope your trip with Erik around the world goes awesome. I'm very envious! Keep in mind while you are on the trip that this is definitely something special you both are embarking on, to be able to interact with various cultures around the world is amazing. Also, on a serious note, I miss the McRib like you wouldn't imagine! I'm glad to see you are doing this and I'll keep checking on the blog.
this trip is going to be amazing, can't wait to hear about it. I'll keep you updated with the really exciting things that are happening in Concord (like Champ sitting up). Have fun!!
Nick and Erik-
