The journey begins

This is a story of five travelers. Who began a journey based upon stories heard from tiktok and YouTube videos.  We started from different places, Utah and Arizona.  Arrived together in Los Angeles to start our 16 hour flight to Singapore, our first layover.


On our layover in Singapore we went outside the airport. Going through security seem to be very secure but relaxed at the same time. It went smoothly. 

We used the equivalent of Uber in Singapore to take us to the business district. It is where the famous metal trees are and the big swimming pool on top of the observation deck. One thing we noticed about Singapore is how green it is. Lots of trees. 

part of Singapore that was really cool was the cloud forest. We walked into the most cooling environment

Friends From Down Under

 "Friends From Down Under" The first, a daughter and her mother dear, They laughed with Faby, glowing in the light, Though seated far, we felt them by our side, Their warmth was something instantly sincere. From Melbourne came a pair with easy charm, Who shared their tale beneath a starlit dome. Their voices lingered long after we’d flown, Their kindness held us safe and free from harm. A brunch with Kiwis bloomed in sunlight's grace, Their dreams became our own before the end. They spoke of hills and harbors round the bend New lands now call with their familiar face. And Kenny speaks while youth serve with a smile, Each soul we met made all these miles worthwhile.

Way Down, Down Under!

 Flying to our destination - Australia Day 1 to 3 We left on Saturday the 28th and spent quite a bit of time waiting around for flights, both before and after. Airport food is pricey—especially in Los Angeles. Meals there cost anywhere from $10 to $15 more than usual. The flight from LAX to Sydney lasted 15.5 hours—the longest I’ve ever sat still. My legs started to cramp up, and at one point I honestly thought I might fall if I stood up to use the bathroom. But I went anyway. When I got back, I found my wife chatting away with our seatmate—who turned out to be just as much of a talker as she is. Naturally, I joined in. The last three hours of the flight turned into a full-blown life story exchange. Surprisingly, Sydney immigration was quick and well-organized. At first, it looked like we were in for a long wait, but it was mostly electronic—photo scans and all. After grabbing our luggage, though, we hit a bit of a customs maze—go here, then over there. Still, it ended with somethi...

Wild Companions at the Gorge

Wild Companions at the Gorge The roos came near with gentle, watchful eyes, Some pale as drifting clouds, some earthy brown, No fear within their hearts, they gathered round, Their calm a gift beneath the open skies. From birds of multiple colored feathers, To giant bats peaking through covered wings. Cute meerkat fight over food like they're kings. The cassowary and capybara are much part a commoners.  Then from the cage a sudden flash of glee, A tamarin with wild hair leapt to the wire. His spirit sparked with mischief and with fire, He posed for selfies, bold and proud and wee. Then Bert, the koala, heavy, soft, and slow, He clung like sleep… and would not let me go. --- Other lines Like the peacock it in his face like the cassowary. With bats peaking through to see if it was time  feeding With carrots in their mouths, they did not flee, But leaned in close, their noses brushed our hand,     A quiet bond we barely understand Their presence rooted, wild, and wholly free.
