Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body. But rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, with a beer in one hand, shouting "Whoo, what a ride!!" -Unknown

About this blog

Well, here I go! After all of the planning, preperations, and Latta-free days (gotta save that money), I am ready to head out to see what this world has to offer. I will be heading south as far as I can, before catching a trade wind west to the South Pacific. I don't have much planned, so everyday will be a new adventure. Thanks for checking out my travelogue and I hope you enjoy reading about my adventures. Stay Tuned.
