The Life Of Ry
Hey, so today officially marks the One Month Away point. And let me be the first to say, it’s flown by. I figured that perhaps now would be a good time to share some of the wisdom I’ve learned so far. Travellers are a community unto themselves. It is like a club and once you …
Ulster Fries & Meatloaf
A panoramic view of Belfast. A little handy photoshop work and presto! Well, I’m about four days into settling into Ireland for the month and I’m having quite the time! Friday night Carol took me to her friend’s place out in the country where I ate TONS of curry and drank LOADS of Guinness. I’ve …
Random In Edinbur-ah!
The Humanaught Yesterday I boarded a train that took me to the costal town of Stranraer where I got on the biggest ferry I’ve ever seen and waved farewell to Scotland. I feel a bit like I’m on a city scouting trip, as each place I go I am trying to gauge if I could …
A Ness Place To Visit
Inverness I must say, what the Glasgow gloom did to dishearten my spirits about Scotland, Inverness lit my opinions with sunshine. Though I arrived in the dark and rain, by Sunday morning, true to the day’s name, the sun was shining. I didn’t end up going out Friday night, as Barbara’s boyfriend never made it …
Glasgow-go-go
Sigh… After failing, once again, to secure a ride with my thumb, I returned to the house in Manchester, begging and pleading for another night’s accommodation. It was cool to stay another night, as I got to know Pete a bit better, as he only showed up on Monday night. I informed him that when …
Hitching – Take II, Bugger, take it all.
Is there something wrong with me? I mean seriously… no one picked me up Haha. Perhaps I’m too intimidating? Perhaps I am just too impatient. Or perhaps, and this is a stretch, I just really like mass transit systems so much, I am secretly sabotaging my hitchings Anyway, embarked early this morning to hitch again. …
Mancunian Candidate
The bittersweet defeat of my unsuccessful attempt to hitch out of Ipswich has been tempered by the fact that I am again staying with some wonderful strangers. Woodbridge was great, a nice break from the fast pace of London. I mostly just sat around, read and watched TV. One day I headed into Ipswich and …
Ok, just in case ….
So, this entry isn’t really an “entry” per se, but rather just a quick update incase I get abducted when I attempt to hitch hike to Manchester tomorrow and am swept off into some human-trade slave organization – in which case I would not get to do an update, and I’m sure you’d all be …
Last Days In London
Well, once again I’m writing this on my laptop with hopes of posting it the following day. I was shown a cool backpacker’s Internet café today that only charges a ₤1 per hour of usage. I figure I’ll post this before I head back down to Andy and Margaret’s place and pick up the winter …
Feelin' The Love In London
It’s a bit of a test to be writing this on my laptop, so as to save time on the Internet. Where to begin, where to begin… After braving the I90 and the outskirts of Buffalo, Vanessa, Dana and I arrived at the Buffalo-Niagara International Airport. I sorted myself out at the ticket counter, said …
