Leaving our hotel was an ordeal. Taxis had to be called in advance, dogs had to be retrieved, bags had to be repacked, and good bye’s had to be said. The trailer was in a storage, place, thing that was a good deal away from our place of lodging. Momma and Papa called up two… Continue reading Into the Jungle — Jack

Jack in Colombia
Cartagena is a loud, old, and crowded city. Everywhere you go you can hear the music of the land being pumped out of large sound systems that loiter outside the shops and stores. People sell practically any item they can; men carry around chains covered in padlocks in hopes that people will purchase their golden… Continue reading Jack in Colombia
Cartagena – Jack
We woke up early to catch our first of two flights to Cartagena. It was a quick flight, about forty minutes; the only problem was that I was stuck next to a large, awkward man the whole way to Fort Lauderdale. The Fort Lauderdale airport was packed. There really wasn’t anywhere to sit and the… Continue reading Cartagena – Jack
Florida
We’re still in Florida and not too much has changed. The air is still hot and moist, the ground still has bugs in it, and it still is coastal. This week I went sailing on my grandfather’s sail boat and that was pretty dang exciting. I’m happy to say that I did not get motion… Continue reading Florida
Florida and Grandparents — Jack
Not too many write worthy things have happened in the past few days. My brother and father took the vehicles down to Miami for shipment and they should be back tonight. My grandparents took my sister and me to a symphony last night. The symphony was great; they preformed a Shostakovich piece wonderfully. The auditorium… Continue reading Florida and Grandparents — Jack
Flo Rida — Jack
We’ve been in Florida for a while now. Every time I spell Florida I think of Flo Rida. I don’t like Flo Rida. Florida is like one continuous suburb. The state is probably at least 20% strip mall and old people. The coolest part of the state is Miami, alligators, and the ocean. Also the… Continue reading Flo Rida — Jack

Louisiana is a very pretty state. It’s full of cypress trees and bayous. We got into Louisiana and stopped at a town that we once visited a long time ago, the town of Eunice. Last time we were around these parts we stayed in a R.V park called Lake View. Anyway, last time we were… Continue reading A post by Jack
Oklahoma, Kansas, and a Little bit of Texas – Jack
It’s been a while internet. Well I’m back and just as blogy as ever. It’s been an uneventful drive south through the states we uneventfully drove though in a southern direction; songs were sung, books were read, bathroom stops were taken. We passed through Kansas and Oklahoma, and are a now in Texas. The most… Continue reading Oklahoma, Kansas, and a Little bit of Texas – Jack
Touring Colleges — Jack
On our last day in Portland, Ryan and I went to look a couple universities in the surrounding area. We woke up earlier than usual so we could make it through Portland rush hour and stuff. Our first stop was Lewis and Clark, an artsy college. Father dropped us off at the informational building where… Continue reading Touring Colleges — Jack
Portland yo — Jack
Today my family and I went into Portland, Oregon. We dropped my mother off at the local zoo with the younger siblings and then caught a train into downtown. At first I wasn’t really liking Portland that much because I couldn’t find any nice shops to browse but then we came to some bakery and… Continue reading Portland yo — Jack
