Day 1: Arriving in Style

Monaco, Monaco

Man, after 29 hours of traveling I finally arrived in Monte Carlo, Monaco!

Lets start off on Saturday, April 9th.
I had the pleasure of being dropped off at the airport by Adam and Sami! I got to Seatac around 7:20pm and about 2 hours later I was on the plane to JFK. I was out for most of the flight.

We landed around 6:06am April 10th in New York.
I was in New York for about 12 hours and I must say it got REAL boring really quick. I jumped from gate to gate sitting for an hour at a time took a nap in a seating booth. 6 hours have passed when my mom sent me money to go hang out at the Delta Club Board room so I could sleep and not worry about getting my bags jacked. Board rooms are niiiiice free drinks, snacks and comfy chairs :D. And I must say the few gin and tonics sure helped with the eight and a half hour flight I was about to endure. Finally 4:30pm came around so I went to my gate. I was fast asleep soon after taking off. I wake up about 2 hours into the flight and notice the lady who was sitting in the isle seat to my left was gone, I waited an hour and then took her seat assuming she wasn't coming back. This was a mistake... The lady who was sitting behind me had her knees up in the back of my seat thus stopping my seat from reclining... I finally got it reclined once but she yelled. She literally yelled as though I did something wrong. Granted I did recline my seat with a little force... But still. She actually fought back and so I spent the rest of my flight upright. So dumb. Well...

Monday, April 11th:
I FINALLY LAND IN NICE, FRANCE!

Customs was super quick, 20 min in a line to get my passport stamped and I was off to the Heli Air transfer desk around 8:45am. My helicopter reservation was for 9:15am. In no time I was in a bus being driven to my helicopter! I'm watching my helicopter land

as we are pulling up and this was very exciting for me since It would be my first time flying in a helicopter.

There are 7 ways to get to Monaco: Walking, Biking, Train, Taxi, Limo (ok same as taxi but much classier), Helicopter, Yacht. I think next time I'm here I'll take a Limo to Monaco and a yacht back to Nice :). So I chose to arrive by helicopter for my first time to Monaco! The view from the helicopter was beautiful!
Flying over the Mediterranean Sea with the French Riviera to my left was breath taking.

We landed in Monaco and a driver took me to my hotel. I'm staying at the Port Palace Hotel in a Harbor-side Grand Suite room 501. This room is beautiful!

Two rooms, one being my bedroom, and a very nice bathroom. My bathroom has a jacuzzi type bath, a walk in shower and a separate room for my toilets. Yea that's right, plural form of toilet I believe one of them is a bidet lol. The view from my room is spectacular! The harbor is gorgeous with all the triple decked yachts; I can't believe I'm here.

I checked in around 9:40am and got to know my room. I decided to stay in and just relax after having been in airport-mode for the past 29 hours, 38 hours if you include all the time-zone changes haha. Lucky for me Monaco is a very small nation so I'll be able to see most if not all of it tomorrow. I fell asleep around 11:am and slept until 7:30pm-ish. I woke up sent some pictures to Sami and made a few calls to Adam, my dad and then my mom through my local Gmail voice number, my netbook and the hotels wifi :) The connection was very low so most of my calls started very well but ended roughly. Overall it worked! So now it's 11:23pm Monday night in Monaco and I just finished a pizza and watching a soccer match on tv. I think I will shower off Seatac and JFK and call it a night.

Night!

Aguas Calientes

Aguas Calientes, Peru

So 5:00am I was called by the front desk as requested. I had all my things packed for my one night in Aguas Calientes and I was out the door with my taxi by 5:30am(when he showed up as requested) It was about a 25 min ride to Poroy train station. It was bloody cold as hell this morning so cold I could see my breath while sitting in the partially hollow train station. Only a few people were there already for our 6:50am departure to Aguas Calientes. By 6:10 it was packed, sunny and still frickin cold. After boarding I swapped my seat with a dad who was in a different seat than the rest of his family and luckily I did cause I met this married couple who is living in Colombia right now and we ended up talking by the end of the journey. Oh on a side note, the lady must have had like applied touretts or something cause she would yell (not loudly though but loud enough for people to hear lol) every type of animal we passed. Okay im kinda exaggerating but she did do it a few times haha. The train ride was about three and a half hours long and IT WAS AMAZING! Ah I couldn't believe the views Peru offers. At exactly 10:30am we stopped in Aguas Calientes where after I departed the train, grabbed my backpack and made my way to where the hostals pick you up I never say my name... Well it turns out, after I came back to look once more, that they spelled my name funky and luckily I saw the name of the hotel on the sign or I wouldn't have ever caught on to my name that they were trying to yell. haha. This place is epic. It's amazing here. It's on a whole different level than Cuzco but the same level nontheles, if that makes any sense. They are both two of the coolest cities I have ever seen, in their own unique ways. for lunch I had sopa de zapallo which was awesome a coke followed by a pisco sour haha. Then the World Cup Final was gonna start in like 30 min so I stayed, had another coke and some crepes for dessert then watched the first half of the game there, at the restaurant I had lunch. Before the game started I tried to ask, in my broken spanish, who he was for, Hollanda or España. He said España of course and so was I which I shared. Afterwards he helped an older couple in to a table, then after that he walked by me patted my shoulder and whispered, "hollanda" as he pointed to the new people haha. After Lunch I walked all over the very small city where I ran into a boy I knew from Cuzco. Christian! The little shoe polisher boy! He ran up to me asking if I remembered him from Cuzco. I asked what his name was and as soon as he said it it clicked. haha cool little kid. He was still askin to clean my shoes for a sole and I kept saying no. As we said ciao and I was about halfway up the hill (it was a tiny hill) I decided to give him a few soles just for being cool. I ran back just as two policias asked him and another boy that was walking around too to pollish their boots, I gave christian seven soles to take a picture with me. The other boy was in it to and I had one of the policia take the picture. Well I was back at the hostel to watch the second half of the soccer match along with a new group that showed up. Only one of them, me and the two front desk ladies were for España... They won btw. :D
Well, I walked around a lot today, took many photos and even had some pizza. What is up with Peru and pizza? Oh and massage clubs. Well, I will have someone knocking on my door at 5:00am tomorrow so I can catch the 5:30am bus to MACHU PICCHU! The weather has been fantastic just cold at nights. Well, tomorrow will be my last big day in Peru before I head back home to Washington.

Adios.

Chill Day in Cuzco

Cuzco, Peru, Peru

So today was gonna be the day I finally got my bus tickets and entrance tickets for Machu Picchu then visit Sacsayhuaman & Pisac. But that didn't exactly go as planned. I did however get my two tickets, beforenoon, so now I'm all set to see Machu Picchu! I decided to just stay in town and relax which I think was a good choice. Now I have a reason to come back, to see all the ruins around Cuzco. Then come back again to visit the north and again to visit the south, and again to visit the central part of Peru :). For lunch I got the alpaca strogonoff again because it's soooo good. By this time I had sandals on which discouraged the shoe cleaning people from bugging me. Score! One type down 4 others to go. Funny thing is I kept running into this one kid who was selling paintings. He would go through the exact same speech everytime he came across me haha, even he started to laugh. After this I walked around some more just sitting in random places it was a very slow day. Uuummm I was starting to get hungry again, it was about 4pm so I decided to try my luck with CUY! I found this nice little place where it was 10 soles cheaper. OKay so, overall... It was really weird, I was so not prepaired for it. I don't know if it was seeing a guinnea pig cut in half the long ways laying on my plate or if it was just the whole severed head sitting right there between it's body.... Also, I was kinda expecting more meat than organs but eh I at least got through half the guinnea pig. w00t. After I ate as much as I could I ordered a Pisco sour and woooow this was the strongest one I've had all week.

Well, I have to be up at 5:00am and catch my 5:30am taxi to Poroy where I'll depart from the train station around 6:50am. TO Machu PICCHU!

Goodnight!

Cuzco broke my phone :[

Cuzco, Peru, Peru

So today was a very basic day. I walked around looking for the place to purchase bus tickets from Agua Calientes to Machu Picchu and the entrance tickets for Machu Picchu but after getting lost both places were closed. Okay actually one place was the closed the other I just couln'dt find... I had the most orgasmic alpaca strogonoff. It was amazing. I aso decided to buy some bracelets to get rid of this lady who kept bugging me and I also invested in a band by purchasing their CD. I also made a little friend, christain, who wanted to scrub my shoes but I wouldn't let him. He said the one sole would be for school and stuff, I just looked at him then he startedd to grin and I called him out, "No it's not dude" he laughed and still tried to scrub my shoes for a sole. Okay so, After eating an amazing lunch I decided to walk up the mountain for some photo shots. I walked up some really awesome corridors/steps 'till I got to a ledge looking down on the Plaza De Armas. It was amazing I sat there for a little while. I also watched this baby llama hop around while it's owners packed up thier crafts and such, cutest thing I have ever seen srsly. So after that nice break I decided to try my way further up the mountain, I took a picture of three ladies and their babies and llama but then ended up paying them 10 USD for that picture. They were asking for 50 soles total but I happen to lose them in the math when converting to USD. I walked up and up 'till I saw a sign for Cristo Blanco and Sacsayhuaman. A man I passed earlier and talked to for a short bit said Cristo Blanco was free to get to so I decided to trek all the way up to the VERY top of th hill. I almost died... 8 times... I finally made it and the view was amazing even though I only had minutes of sunlight left. The walk down was muuuuch easier and even though it was after dark it was still pleasent. I met this couple (totally forgot their names, a loud truck drove by as we exchanged names) who were traveling with their parents and so the reaso they were staying in a converted cathedral. It was super nice looking, from the outside. Anways it was only like 15 min walking down with them they were pretty cool. I got back to my hotel and took a shower with my music playing on my phone on a shelf by the sink.. Next thing I know I hear a crash... SHIT PHONE FELL! OH NOES!! I jump out and take a look at it. No cracks on the front there might be one on the back but eeh it's all good. My phone is now toast... And by toast I mean I can't use it until I plug it into itunes... Stupid thing wiped itself and now I have to reactivate it... A man here let me try plugging my phone into his apple laptop which has iTunes but my phone wont stay on for some reason. I tried his PC laptop, and the hostals desktop phone still wont stay on long enough to ask to be plugged into itunes... When I plug my phone into a wall outlet I get that stupid screen no prolem... :(

So I have no phone for the next five days... even longer if I can't get it fixed at home...

I did, however, find a way to pack up my pictures from my camera's memory stick for free so I will have more space for the ruins tomorrow and Machu Picchu. The man who has the two laptops, his PC netbook has a card reader! so he's letting me upload all my photos and videos onto Photobucket. yay.

Tomorrow morning I head out EARLY to get my bus and entrance tickets for Machu Picchu and my tickets to see Sacsayhuaman and Pisac. :)

It's 11:52 pm and my pictures are almost done uploading.
Night!

Day 2! Cuzco!

Cuzco, Peru, Peru

So this morning I almost missed my flight to Cuzco but luckily my hostal called my room and woke me up when my taxi showed up.I got to the airport around 8:30am. After I had a ticket agent print out my ticket I found a Starbucks outside of security so I just had to stop by and get my drink. They didn't mess up my drink!!! Peru ftw for making my drink correctly! Aaanyways after paying the stupid airport tax and sitting at gate 12 waiting to board my flight I in Cuzco! (I'll upload some pics onto this site into these entries when I get home. Cuzco is so beautiful and full of life. I got to my hostal where I sipped some coca leaf tea as I waited to check in. I still need to pay for my room.... I forgot to today. Ok so I walked around my immediate area to get a feel for things when I started to get really hungry. I stopped into this restaurant where I tried Pisco sour, cebiche, and alpaca. Oh and Pisco sour is boooomb. Well it's like 7:14pm an pretty dark out I'm tired so I'm callin it a nigh. Tomorrow I get my bus and entrance tickets for Machu picchu and start exploring further out.

PERU!!!

Lima, Peru

So 5:12 this morning I landed in Lima! My taxi wasn't there when i passed customs but luckily one of the other taxi guys let me use their cell to call my hostal who then said my ride should be there in 1 monite (He was). I got to Hostal el Patio and and they had my room ready. I pretty much slept 'till 4:00pm, I was sooo tired. Anyways I finally dragged myself out of bed and headed out to see a little part of Lima. I walked around and saw the pizza street Adrian mentioned. I had a quick lunch, crawfish, then headed back to my hostal to just chill. It was extremely overcast and starting to drizzle by now. I was in the rest of the night getting ready for my flight to Cuzco!

Day 33 - Fin - (7/20/2009)

Seattle, United States

July 17th 2009:
So Josh was finally off restriction on Friday so him and I went off base. He still wasn't allowed to drive so i got to drive while on base, prolly not legally, but it was still fun. We went out to get some food and some other things then went back to his place, i showered josh did some laundry then we headed out to the clubs. we started drinking around 8 and we had to be back on base before 12 but there was a bar on base so after 12 we hung out there till around 1:30am then i went back to the dorm and he was out till 2:30. during these hours we went through 5 bars, I ate horse for the first time (I loved it, it's frickin' amazing but hecka expensive...) smoked some hookah, met a few of joshes friends and a couple new people then passed out. I had a train to catch at 8 am the following morning....
July 18th 2009 (the following morning):
I woke up on time with a massive hang over.... I managed to shower and josh called the taxi for me. at the train station i was feeling like crap but couldn't do anything to fix it... I had a 4 hour train journey ahead of me before getting to the shinjuku station in tokyo. So i ran to the bathroom before my train arrived and punched myself in the stomach until something came out. haha, it helped a lot!
:::long train ride and some connecting trains:::
I arrive at the station where I was meeting Kumiko and Derek. Then i finally meet up with them! we all went to get food, then Kumiko and her friend went back to the friends house for the rest of the day and Derek and I went to find our capsule hotel. we find it and the people working there don't speak any English but luckily Kumiko had written Derek and me a note saying what we wanted haha. after we drop off our bags in our capsule, we head out and do touristy stuff. its late so a lot of stuff was closed or empty. we end up walking all over Tokyo and taking subways left and right till around 2 am. We did the pretty much the same thing the following morning, not really that exciting to write about but it was still hella fun for us.
July 19th 2009 (following morning):
Derek and i wake up early and get breakfast at McDonalds...lol... Then we head out to find some specific places and sights. We traveled all over Tokyo till around 5 when we met back up with Kumiko and her friend. had dinner then said our goodbyes. Derek and Kumiko had to leave and The friend had to go home so now i was alone. I decided to just head to the airport just the way i was and try to find my way home. I make my way back to Tokyo station to grab my bags that i stuffed in a locker then catch the next train to Narita airport. Ok, so it's now around 7:40 at the airport and I'm expecting the worst possible outcome to occur. Me being there another 38 hours or more jut like Dubai because all the flights i had looked at and had my mom call about were really over booked :( I'm at the airport looking at all the flights for the rest of that day, and there was only one more going to north America and that was to Hawaii. I was in Terminal 1 so i rushed to Terminal 2 and tried to make that flight but it had left at 8pm and i was too late to try and make it. I spend some time in terminal 2 looking at flights from there out and around 10:33pm decide to head back to terminal 1... so I'm waiting for the shuttle bus and none come... then a girl walks up to me and in broken English we figure out that there are no more shuttles tonight and i need to get to terminal 1... she decided to walk me to terminal 1 so i wouldn't get lost. she was really cute too. Too bad she was only at terminal 2 to see her boyfriend. anyways, we talked the whole way to terminal 1 then finally say goodbye. i walk up the stairs to the top floor of the terminal for international flights and as I'm using the touchscreen computer inside to look up flights, all the lights and my computer shut off... the airport closed with me inside...so now I'm like shit shit shit cause i don't have ANY yen on me for a taxi. luckily the doors still worked from the inside so i walked out and walked down the road to the first floor, a good 15 min walk (my bags are really really heavy). i notice lights on still on the first floor so i head to them and walk in the door and the security guard who spoke no English stopped me and i tried asking for an ATM. well all in all we got to the conclusion that the ATM was shut down, but i could stay the night at the airport on a bench in the meeting area. That was cool. got a free nights sleep.. so i got about 6 hours sleep and woke up right when the terminal reopened. i was gonna take a shower but the public showers were over in terminal 2 and i dint' feel like going back over there. so the next 6 hours are of me fighting with ticketing agents and flight crews again trying to use my Air canada ticket from Narita to Vancouver BC on other airlines to other destinations. The same old same old stuff i've been doing the past 33 days. Anyways, I end up renting a cell phone for the day to talk to my mom to help find direct flights to the US, Mexico or Canada. i get a list together and then head out to those airlines. America Airlines would not let my pay the difference, nor would Korean Air but they ALMOST let me. I finally talk to a Delta girl and she looks at my air Canada ticket and says "yea you can use this where you trying to go?" and i said "Anywhere in North America is all I'm asking" then she said " ok well we have two wide open flights to Portland ... and ... Seattle... do any of those two work for you?" OMG i laugh and almost hugged the girl. I was like SEATTLE SEATTLE SEATTLE SEATTLE!!!!
flight departed at 4:15pm.
I landed in Seattle at 8:36am.

The End.

Day 27 - Day 26 Update & Day 27 - (7/14/2009)

Misawa, Japan

Made it to Misawa!
So lets finish off day 26,
-7.13.2009-
I got on the flight to Narita with no one sitting next to me and about an hour forty later I was in Japan!
Ok, so for those of you who might have seen the news (or maybe not) apparently my flight to Japan made the news. haha. I don't think I have ever had a more wicked landing experience ever in my life. So we like hit turbulence seconds before touching down, and I mean like a few feet off the ground I was out of my seat turbulence, but I guess that was our back tires touching down before our front, but I'm not sure. And then we are on the runway and I realize the pilots have turned the plane and we're now skidding on the runway at a few hundred miles an hour and still bouncing around. haha it was weird, people were like screaming and panicking, and the flight attendant sitting in front of me facing me was just smiling away and rolling her eyes at the passengers and we're both laughing.
Now that was a landing.

Ok, after the roller coaster landing I get through customs and the older lady met me out in baggage claim. She has a name by the way... haha, it's Noriko. So Noriko knew the type of rail pass I was trying to get so she showed me where the rail booth was and began speaking Japanese to the person working there to figure out if I can get that pass. The lady working turned to me and said that JR passes had to be acquired from your home country, outside of Japan... I told her no, that I know some do but I checked their website and this pass had to be bought in Japan because you had to show a plane ticket leaving Japan. Well I went to the bathroom real quick and experienced the most high tech toilet it was crazy. When I came back Noriko had looked up train passes to Misawa and their prices and they were, like I already knew, really expensive one way... well Noriko said there is an official JR office one floor down, so she took me there and talked to them for me and they were all like, "Oh yea, the four flexible day pass, no problem, it's this much and will you be using it today?" haha super easy, so I told them I was going to Misawa and they made all my train reservations, and gave me my tickets and told me what to do and then I was off! Noriko was going just to Tokyo so, which was my first stop and train change, so we got seats together here, this whole times she's helping me figure all this out. 70 min later we arrive in Tokyo, before she leaves she helps me find my next train and how to use my passes. Then I go through and say goodbye and now I'm on my own. haha. So this is my first time on the bullet train.
I'll be on this train for about 3 hours, from Tokyo all the way to Hachinohe where I then have 15 min to figure out where the next train is, the one to Misawa. Everything goes smoothly, the scenery was amazing.
and the train to Misawa was delayed like 30 min. I finally arrive in Misawa around 7:10pm and hurry to the taxis. omg, these taxis were AMAZING! The drivers have like a button that opens and closes the door automatically, so you never have to really work, and their meters works! And when you arrive at your destination.... They print you out a receipt! They don't ask for tips, they don't "get lost" and have to stop and ask others for directions, they don't charge more for being a tourist, they are clean, and they don't really talk to you but are still very nice. It was cool. So it's now like 7:20 and I walk up to the office outside the Misawa Air Force Base and use their phone to call Josh.... No answer... so I call again... Still no answer... So I call his work.... An answer, but it's not him and the person on the phone doesn't know where Josh is.... So now I spend the next hour calling his room and no one is answering. I ask the officer working if there are any hostels around or an internet cafe (which he began laughing when i said internet cafe 'cause he prolly thought I wanted to stay there lol) so I could find a cheap place to stay online. He asked around for me and said the nearest hotel was across the street, for about 5,000 yen. So I went there, got a room which ended up being 6,200 yen but breakfast was included. The room was really cool, small for the price but this is Japan. So I went to my room and got situated, plugged in my phone and fell asleep.
-7.14.2009-
Ok, so this morning I woke up around 6:30am. I went downstairs to have breakfast then went back to my room, packed and checked out. I go BACK to the base, it's now around 7:40am and i try calling josh again. He finaly picks up half asleep and is all oh crap, hey I'll uh be there soon. A little later a guy walks in to the front office and asks if I was Kenny, I said said yes and so he checks me in and I get my visitors pass. we then drive into the base and pick josh up. Josh isn't allowed to really leave the base due to a little thing that happened haha. Anyways, I'm finally at Joshes place. Josh has to go to work at noon, so he goes to take a nap, and I decide to crash as well on the couch. Even though I slept for a solid 9 hours the previous night, I still slept hard for another four and a half hours, this trip has worked me over.
Josh comes back around um, 4-ish with food and after two hours he heads back to work. So I've just been chillin' around relaxin' and watching movies on TV and talking to Kumiko on facebook about meeting in Tokyo. Tomorrow I don't know whats up, I think I'm going to go see Joshes work, or walk around Misawa. I'll find out tomorrow. It sucks though 'cause Josh can't leave the base, and he also has to work from noon to midnight. But his probation ends the day I planned on leaving for Tokyo. So I will now be leaving for Tokyo Saturday morning so we can go do something Friday night.
Well, I've uploaded some pictures from Thailand and India on facebook. I will get some from Egypt up, then upload a few from all three up on here.
byee.

Day 26 - Cake walk - (7/13/2009)

Seoul, South Korea

So it's now July 13, and I am now in Seoul, South Korea!
So, July 12, which is still going on for everyone back home, I woke up at 7:30am and my hotel had a taxi waiting for me. I got to the airport around 8:30am and waited outside of the first line of security before the ticket counters. When the security opened and I got there, they asked for a passport so I pulled out my little black notebook first because it was in the way and the frickin security guy at the metal detector grabbed it while it was still in my hand thinking it was my passport. Ok so by now I'm like hell no this already happened once coming into Egypt I really don't want to go through this again so I tighten my gripas he's trying to rip it from my hands and rip it from his hands saying "NO!" and I slowly pull out my passport and hand it to him like a civilized person. Now the part that made me laugh was at the Korean air ticketing counter where I check in was the same man who was at the gate for my flight from Cairo to Luxor and who got my cellphone back from the cargo of the plane. Haha so I approach the desk and he asked if I've lost my phone again, I said nope but I did lose my glasses. He laughed and asked if I enjoyed Egypt and of course I did so I says yes because everything I lose you guys find a way of getting it back to me. Good times. During this I meet this older lady who is also using a staff ticket. She works for Air Canada and lives in Tokyo so we were doing the same route an so we got out seats together. Oh yea we got our seats right away which was awesome! 5 hours later we land in Tashkent, Uzbekistan and deboard for about an hour. We all reboard and a few others and 6 hours later we all land here in Seoul, South Korea!
That lady and I went straight to the transfer desk for Korean Air and GOT SEATS RIGHT AWAY! Then we found me a Starbucks and a place to buy a spoon. Now I'm waiting at the gate and the lady is out shopping. Let's just hope the Japanese rail system is as easy as all this has been :)
Byee!
