Moving out of my parents’ home meant moving off of their cell phone bill as well. I couldn’t afford a $150 cell phone bill, but I also couldn’t live without my Google Maps (I can live without 24/7 access to Facebook, Twitter, etc. but Google Maps?! … http://katkatravels.com/?p=1509

Our 4th of July Feast
None of us had realized that it was the Fourth of July. Days in Ghana sort of blur together. Schedules don’t really exist. Calendars weren’t of use to the people we lived and worked with. If a day or event was important, they just new when it would occur.

Hanging out in our private, rooftop plunge pool. Heaven on the horizon!
In Puerto Vallarta, the horizon goes as far as the eye can see. From ziplining in the Sierra Madre mountains, to jet skiing on the beach, there is always something further to look out at. That’s also the way it felt to… http://katkatravels.com/?p=1487
