Indonesia - Los Angeles to Tokyo

After a 6 hour layover in LA, we borded a two story jumbo jet headed for Tokyo. Flight attendants passed out steaming hot towels. I wasn't exactly sure what to do with them. I wiped my hands and shortly the attendants were back to collect the towels. Each meal that was served was preceded by hot towels. 5800 miles later we landed in Tokyo. The sun had just set in Japan. It would soon be rising back home in Florida. I had traveled 28 hours with about 4 hours of sleep. Not counting the 20 hours without sleep before beginning the trip.  Still at least 16 hours to go. The bathrooms in Asia are a little different. 

Indonesia - Nashville to Los Angeles

Stayed up all night Sunday. Left the school on a bus at 2:30 am Monday morning. Flew direct from Nashville to Los Angeles. I slept on the plane, hunched over the seat back tray, until I woke up drowning in my own drool. After arriving in California we grabbed our bags and went to the international terminal. Cannot check in earlier than 3 hours before our next flight so we are waiting for three hours outside of security. Flight SQ11 flys to Singapore via Tokyo. 12 hour flight, but I hear the food on the plane is good. Watching others trying to do the homework in the airport makes me really glad I finished before we left. It was hard to do, and I don't know if I could have done it while being so tired and distracted.

Bonding Weekend Campout

For two years running Fountainview has had a "bonding weekend" presumably to promote the developing friendships on campus. This year the guys headed up "Blowdownb". Blowdown is nice high  mountain lake area that affords fantastic views and an incredible hike. See for yourself :)

Nothing like a mountain trail ride and a gallop through a field with a good friend.

Drive from California to Oregon

On Thursday I flew to LA to meet my Uncle. From there we drove to Lebanon Oregon taking in the sights along the way. Death Valley, Mammoth, and the ghost town of Bodie are some.
