You guys are such superstars! Seriously, Kevin is directing the movie version of my book. Val, your hair is holding up incredibly! I’m all about it.

I dig the ponytail. The video is righteous. I also find the blonde girl with the flash camera to be a highlight. Can I tell you where to go like on the Travel Channel’s Five Takes? If so, you have to act like a douche sometimes and say things like, “What an adrenaline rush!” or “Let’s go get some Mountain Dew!” and “EXTREEEEME!” For example, “I’m here with my Turkish coffee… it’s EXTREME! No need for Mountain Dew! What an adrenaline rush!” Can I also call you “TJ’s”? I want more in-depth coverage of nightlife. And it wouldn’t help to show more leg (Kev).

Haha, thanks for all of the kind words people. Chocobuns, will work on the leg and the nightlife. It is all a work in progress, we haven’t figured out the best format yet. Will try to add a few extreme moments in there for sure. Episode 2 should be out tomorrow or thereabouts, and it will be INTENSE! (Also, much more of the blonde girl with the camera)

Hi Keval,
But I just read all your travelouges to get up to date and it sounds like you’re having an amazing time. And you’ve got some really great pics up here too 
sorry I’ve been a bit crap and haven’t written any comments yet
Just one thing - maybe I’m being stupid, but I can only seem to get sound and no picture for the videos. Is there a particular player I need to download to watch them??

Camilla - Thanks for the kind words! Great to hear from you! We will definitely look you up if we swing by Cali, but until then, stay in touch.
Nicnac - no worries on staying current, this website isn’t going anywhere. Plenty of time! As for the video, you just need to get the most recent version of Flash installed in your browser and you’ll be fine. Please enjoying!

Thanks, it’s even more interesting now I can see what you’re talking on about in the video!!!
