I know I have been absent again... this time for far too long. I guess I have lost a bit of my blog energy and have been absorbed in my life, enjoying each day. It has finally come to the end of this crazy journey. I have been on the road now for over two years!

Dear Kiki,
This winter is one of the mildest winters ever in New York. I had all these great plans of cross country skiing and snowshoeing, and what do you think I get 40 to 50 degree days with two days of snow. I know I should feel lucky that I did not have to work in -5 degree weather with frozen toes and fingers.

Where I work and live
Dear Lulu,
So life in Australia is coming to an end. It has been fun... many memories made, good and bad, lots of friends I must sadly say goodbye to. But the bank account has a bit more jingle to it and the excitment of a new journey is taking hold. I am now only four weeks away to India!

Hello Kiki,
At 6:30 in the morning I left Corinth with all that winter clothes I owned, a bag of sandwiches, and my bicycle. After 16 hours of Adele, Kesha, and a few other ridiciulously over played artisted I arrived in Scranton, PA (the electric city) at 11:30 pm. I have an amazing friend in Scranton that lets me stay at his place whenever. Chris what would I do without you.

Kiki,
Mexico has been a relaxing yet exhausting break from my travels. Well, I guess Mexico is still traveling, but being with family makes it different. More like living here than traveling. I go swimming every other day at the country club and now I am taking golf lessons two days a week. I spend all the rest of the time playing with Natalie or watching Barbie princess the sistershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15541208832764532215noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420566351417384362.post-72502120643170307872011-11-25T22:34:00.000-08:002011-11-25T22:37:21.238-08:00Aussie Land

Dear Lulu,
I feel like I start every letter to you apologizing for how long it has taken me to write. Well, again I am saying sorry for taking so long. I have been busy settling into life here in Australia. It has been a mix of emotions and a little hard work and a lot of patience, but I am finally snug and happy in my new house with a good job the sistershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15541208832764532215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420566351417384362.post-21762813766736852792011-10-06T18:42:00.000-07:002011-10-06T18:42:14.074-07:00Home and Away
Sailing on Pontchartrian
Kiki
I have been home for a few weeks now, but before that I was in the Italian region of Switzerland. I went to visit another friend who works as a canyoning guide. He was a great host and took me out with a friend of his to explore a canyon and to see the night life in the area. The canyon was beautiful, but it had some interesting abseiling. I had a crash course the sistershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15541208832764532215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420566351417384362.post-61047493697938965342011-09-21T14:31:00.000-07:002011-09-21T14:31:34.460-07:00A Big Farewell!!!

Dear Lula,
Man what a last week in New Zealand! I am officially done with work! While I enjoyed learning a bit about the vineyards, I am not at all sad to say goodbye. I guess when you go so long without working its hard to go back. It was a bit repetitious to say the least.

Dear Lula,
Sorry you are kind of lost at the moment. It's good you aren't afraid to admit it. That's better than wasting time doing what you think you should be doing just because of expectations.

I know I should be having a great time in Switzerland and for the most part I guess I am. I just feel a little lost on a path that does not seem to suit me. So in an attempt to start over, and maybe fix that, I have decided to go back to the states. No, this is not forever but I need to make sure that I still love where I am and what Ithe sistershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15541208832764532215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420566351417384362.post-86307199576519803982011-08-05T00:28:00.000-07:002011-08-05T00:28:19.702-07:00Vineyards in Nelson

Dear Lula,
I am glad to hear you are having a good time in Switzerland. I am a bit jealous. It has always been one of my favorite countries and I want to go back one day, but I am enjoying myself in New Zealand as well. I have just finished my first week of work on the vineyards here in Nelson. I was a bit discouraged on my first visit here, thinking that I had missed the sistershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15541208832764532215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420566351417384362.post-23576067416810428422011-07-25T14:57:00.000-07:002011-07-27T13:51:43.706-07:00On My Own Again

Yeah as Christina said our month was very busy. Two of my best friends were getting married. That meant seeing all of my friends and partying till the sun came up. I already miss it, but I know that if I went back it would not be like that. Everyone has grown up and moved on to bigger but not better things because what could be better than when all of us get together. the sistershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15541208832764532215noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420566351417384362.post-62640353524221537982011-07-15T14:24:00.000-07:002011-07-15T14:31:30.795-07:00Family Time

I am so excited that you have been working on an organic farm too. Hahaha, our readers are kind of scary. They attacked you about the age thing. I am worried about what I may write. I have been making bread and scones and jam too. No cheese the place in macroom used to have goats and make cheese but their farm is too small now for that.

Silver says hi too
Dear Lulu,
As you could have deduced from Ginger’s letter I have been living on a farm for the past week and a half helping out Kevin. He is an organic farmer and also has a bunch of goats that he milks and then makes tasty cheeses. I got to help make some of the cheeses and also milk the goats! I know it may seem sad to most that I got excited to milk a goat, but alas I the sistershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15541208832764532215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420566351417384362.post-53539533665288813302011-05-27T20:01:00.000-07:002011-05-27T20:02:03.216-07:001 Goat, 2 Goat, 3 Goat more...Dear Maggie and Lulu,
Thank you so much for writing Kiki, it made her smile. My name is Ginger and I am 8 months old too.

Okay yes I have messed up a few recipes in the past, but I think that I have gotten better. I now read the recipes several times out loud. This has helped my results, but now if I cook with someone they think that I am slightly crazy. I guess that is fair enough since I am probably more than slightly crazy.
I have yet to cook at BM's, but I did cook at my last twothe sistershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15541208832764532215noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4420566351417384362.post-71813113275146741102011-05-09T14:10:00.000-07:002011-05-11T04:34:49.707-07:00Baltimore Fiddle Fair

Okay to answer your question about pirate cycling. I am totally in. I have already been planning to bring my bike with me when I go back to Europe. I don't know when you will be there but I guess it does not really matter since I have no plans.

Hi Lulu,
I know it has been far too long since I write to you, but really nothing new and exciting has happened in Langkawi. I am enjoying doing absolutely nothing. I love the feeling that I can get up in the morning and ask myself, "What would you like to do today?"... and then I do that. Would you like to go for a swim?...

I know it is your turn to write to me, but I thought I would give you a quick update on my first day at work. I had the kids for about one hour before I let the kids have an illegal water fight. I did not know it was not allowed until their dad showed up. Then we went to go add me to the car insurance and it cost $300 to put me on for a month.

The day before I left the Devoy's I went to a traditional music festival in Ballydehob. I could not find anyone going there from Rosscarberry so I decided to hitchike there.

Dear Lulu,
It sounds like life on the farm is rather hectic. Good luck with the new hens! I think my jealousy level went down a few points when I read about all the crap that happened that past week, but then I read about the pubs and music and the level shot back up.
