Journeyman

I’m fortunate to have some wonderful friends who decided that Tany and I needed to go on a skiing holiday with them. So, last week I learnt how to fly down the side of a mountain with a couple of skis attached to my feet and not die.
Day one was a bit shaky, with me [...]

January’s come as a bit of a shock. On Monday I was really up for getting back to work. The holiday had gone on for long enough and I was feeling really motivated and ready to get on with the challenges that the new year was going to bring.
Monday night, however, was not perfect. I [...]

This part of the world gets some strange weather. Tany and I are now in Grand Forks, North Dakota, where the Buffalo outnumber the humans significantly and the state tree is believed to be the telephone pole. This place really is mostly empty.
We arrived on Thursday in time to be at Tany’s cousin’s wedding at [...]

On Tuesday afternoon we arrived at JAARS in Waxhaw, NC. JAARS used to stand for the Jungle Aviation and Radio Service, it doesn’t anymore, but they still provide aviation and communications for missionaries working in remote locations around the world.

Yesterday afternoon Tany and I arrived in Orlando. Temperature leaving Boston was around 20c, in Orlando it’s closer to 35c and humid. All this sun and warm weather and there’s not a person on the street to enjoy it, they’re all hiding inside where there’s air conditioning.
I’m here because Wycliffe’s US base is in Orlando. [...]

We made it. I have no idea how as we didn’t join the line for tickets until 4pm and gates opened at 5, so we weren’t right at the front. But, we got in and didn’t have to spend a fortune to do it.
This evening I went to my first baseball game ever, and it [...]

On Tuesday we left Boston behind and made the three hour drive up to North Conway at the edge of the White Mountains National Park. Despite all the research before the holiday I missed that it was bike week. Thousands of motorcycles had descended on the area to drive up Mt Washington and enjoy the [...]

Well folks, that’s it for a bit. I’m not sure how much blogging I’m going to be doing while on the road, but for the next three and a bit weeks I’m outta here!
Tomorrow I fly to the US. Boston to be precise, where Tany and I will be hanging out for a few days [...]
