Hello???

I feel like the long lost relative that no one has heard from in a long time. I know, I know. My blog writing skills have seriously atrophied. I've been gone from the States for three solid weeks now and zip, zero, zilch has been posted on here. I have a decent, but not really complete defense for that. ;-) Internet access has indeed been very poor for most of my trip, so I would jump online where I could, post a brief note and picture to facebook, and then jump off again. None of my internet access up until this point has been strong enough to let me upload multiple pictures without it taking FOREVER. But does that excuse me from not writing any updates at all? Not really. So, where have I been and what have I done?? Ok, here's the whole trip itinerary, which should have been posted on here before I ever left(except that I didn't really know the entire itinerary before leaving. :-D

7/23- depart CLT
