Couch Surfers
I saw a post on the “Last Minute Couch” community from a couple of students who needed a place to stay, so I offered up Casa de la Bell for the night. Mohammed and Gwen are on their spring break from the University of Memphis and they’re doing a 5-state road trip, surfing along [...]

CouchSurfing in Texas!
I know I’ve told a lot of you about my CouchSurfing experiences while I was in England. If I didn’t, go to the CouchSurfing website to read up on it…I’m not going to explain it here. The reason I’m excited is that I got a request to host a surfer here in McKinney. [...]

Los Angeles and Dallas
I finally got to go home mid-June to see friends and take care of errands/appointments. I really didn’t have a chance to sit back and fully relax, especially since I worked most of the time, but I did have a little fun.
I started it off with a great trip to LA. The US [...]

London
I went to London back in late May (can you say delayed blog?) for the USA vs England game and a bit of touring around. The game was pretty bad ’cause the US players didn’t seem to be trying, nor did they apear to care. But any time you get to go see [...]

Manchester and Preston
Last weekend I went off to Manchester to see the Man City vs Fulham game. Fulham came back from 2-0 to win it 3-2. I never liked Sun Jihai, but now I hate him. That was just horrible. But that’s not for here…
If you’ve never heard of CouchSurfing, you should check [...]

Fulham @ Derby County
I got to attend my first English Premier League game on Saturday. Derby is only a 25 minute train ride from Nottingham, so I figured I’d check it out. Sure, the ticket wasn’t cheap and it Derby are the worst team in the league, but still…it’s a Premiership game! The best part is they were [...]

6,517 Miles
…that’s how many frequent-flyer miles I got flying business class to the UK.
Harlan picked me up on Thursday morning and took me to the airport. Thanks Harlan! Checking in, I found out that both of my checked bags were overweight. They charge $50 per bag that is overweight, which I think is ridiculous. [...]

Yes, I’m alive
I’m also a big fat liar.
Trust me when I say it’s not on purpose. I hadn’t been feeling very well over the weekend, and I was just too busy today. Now I’m feeling extremely narcosleepy, so I’m going to hit the sack. I promise…I WILL post an update to bring you all [...]

It looks like I’m going to travel for work after all. The bank decided they did want a few of us on site next week, and they decided today. They want us there first thing Monday morning, which means flying on Sunday. Since they sprung it on us last minute and my [...]
