Epic travels

So my time in Jamaica has come to an end.  I had the time of my life learning and exploring the land of Jamaica.  I have so many great memories of my times there.  I will never forget the people I met and the places we visited.  So thanks Tonia and Craig for allowing me to live with you and making my time unforgettable.  I spent a month down in the sun and it has been hard to come back to the states to where it is so cold.  (Sorry Tonia and Craig but you guys are going to freeze I'm afraid).  I arrived back to the States on Thursday night where I stayed with Kevin Magart and his beautiful family.  The next morning I thought that I better start on my epic road trip so I went out to start my car and nothing.  My car was dead, I know what a good start for my trip.  So Kevin Jumped me and I was off, or so I thought.  I needed gas so I pulled into a gas station to fuel up (by the way I'm in love with the gas prices) forgetting that I needed to let my car charge a bit longer I shut it off.  Big mistake! My car was no longer going to start the battery was shot.  I had quite a few nice gentle men help me out, hitting on me, and asking for my number several times.  It was great.  After about an hour we were able to get the car started and I was on my way again, but to Wal-Mart this time to get a new battery and some other things done to my lovely car.  After 4 long and tormenting hours at Wal-Mart my car was finely done and I was free to leave Georgia.  The next couple of days were a blur, I just drove and drove.  I drove from Atlanta Georgia to somewhere in New Mexico in a little under a couple of days, that's over 140o miles.  Once I arrived to New Mexico (where I met a couple of friends) I crashed for a couple of days refusing to get back into the car.  I spent my time just hanging out, biking, and eating some good food.  I'm now in Gallup New Mexico where I met my good friend Erin.  When I got into town we we on a little hike, which was beautiful.  It reminded me that I miss the West and all of the beauty that it offers.  
     I will be hanging out at Erin's for the rest of the day and tomorrow I will be heading off to Arizona to see Cheri and Joe.  Hopefully I can remember to take some pictures so you can see my travels.  Take Care
