King’s Island

King's Island LogoThis weekend, Justin and I went to King’s Island with my coworker Dennis, his wife (Julie) and their boy (Matthew – 4yrs old).  Now, one thing to take into account with me and amusement parks is that I have a huge fear of heights.  Even then, it’s not really the heights that get me, it’s the vertigo from the heights.  Naturally, one of the biggest goals of this weekend was for me to ride a roller-coaster (or two) – namely, the Diamondback.

April Canoe Trip

Today, we left home at 9:30, stopped at Burger King for breakfast (french toast, tater tots and a drink), then drove to Delphi Indiana to Hodges Canoe Trips for a Purdue Village sponsored trip.  Last week we signed up for $5 which covered everything once you are there.

We arrived at the location at 10:30.  It is right along the Wabash river just off of Highway 18 near Delphi.  Although we were supposed to leave by 11, we didn’t leave until almost 11:15 because the people organizing the event didn’t get there until then.  We then got in a small bus with the boats in tow (10 total), and drove 4.5 miles north along the river.  We were the first into the water of the group but our canoe was facing the wrong direction so had to try to get it going correctly.

Flight home

I’m in the Beijing Capital International Airport (BCIA) right now. Using the internet here which uses 0.05元 (yuan) per minute from the China Mobile SIM Card. That’s quite cheap so using it until we leave.

It’s been quite the past two and a half weeks. Have been to Beijing, Chengdu, Pixian and Ya’an and back again. Been to several airports and taken numerous buses, subways, cabs and cars along the way.

I’ll post more later once I get home and update for all the missing posts. See you later!
