		<title>Going Home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[March 4, 2009:
130 days since I left on Day 1 for NYC
57 days since I left for Iceland 
 
 
It&#8217;s March 4 and I am on a plane to New York.  My trip is over, but my journey has just begun.  It sounds cliche, but what else can you say after a trip around the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=courtneyrile.wordpress.com&blog=4878213&post=378&subd=courtneyrile&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Seattle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Monday, March 2, 2009
Over the weekend we had heard some unexpected news.  My great aunt Mary Francis had passed away.  She was the last one of her generation except for my grandma Jean.  She had Alzheimer&#8217;s and was ready to go.  Still, it caught us by surprise.  She is the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=courtneyrile.wordpress.com&blog=4878213&post=373&subd=courtneyrile&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>West Coast Road Trip</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sat. Feb. 28, 2009
After a marvelously fun night surfing (even though the surf was harsh) and camping (mmm&#8230; fire-cooked steak&#8230;) and star gazing as well, I slept in the car and woke up in the morning a bit stiff but none the worse.  We had some fire-side coffee and hit the road.  We [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=courtneyrile.wordpress.com&blog=4878213&post=370&subd=courtneyrile&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Ryan Lovelace</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d like to take a moment to highlight the awesome work my cousin Ryan does shaping surfboards in Santa Barbara.  He has made quite a splash (I know, bad pun) in the surf world with his experimental boards.  With his company, Point Concept Surfboards, he&#8217;s a one man show and does it all himself from [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=courtneyrile.wordpress.com&blog=4878213&post=366&subd=courtneyrile&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Change of Plans- Camping and Surfing in Big Sur</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Devon and I had a plane to catch on Thursday, February 26, to head to Seattle for about a week. The thing was that Ryan and his friends, who we were fast becoming fond of, had a camping and surfing trip planned in Big Sur (ideal beautiful coast) for Friday through Sunday. It was very [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=courtneyrile.wordpress.com&blog=4878213&post=367&subd=courtneyrile&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Santa Barbara</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Arriving back in my home country was a strange feeling after such a journey.  I was happy to be amongst people who spoke fluent English.  I was relieved to be in a country where I knew and understood the laws and had a support system.  I was not happy to be charged [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=courtneyrile.wordpress.com&blog=4878213&post=359&subd=courtneyrile&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A Weekend in Hong Kong</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
 
It&#8217;s Monday, February 23 in Hong Kong.  The Academy Awards are finishing up right now in Los Angeles as I&#8217;m boarding a 12 hr plane headed there.  This marks the end of my international journey.  I am glad I decided to stop in Santa Barbara and Seattle with Devon.  At least [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=courtneyrile.wordpress.com&blog=4878213&post=357&subd=courtneyrile&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Last Days in Thailand and Bangkok</title>
		<description><![CDATA[2-20-09
Last weekend, the plan was for Wipada and Tom to go with me back to Bangkok and, at my request, see a beach along the way.  On Tuesday, I found out that Wipada would not be able to go because she had to work.  At that point I was running out of time [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=courtneyrile.wordpress.com&blog=4878213&post=354&subd=courtneyrile&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Snake Affair</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Monday, Feb. 16, I stayed home while Wipada and Tom went to teach.  A new cleaning lady came over to clean the house during the day.  Neither one of us spoke the other&#8217;s language, but we tried to communicate.  After awhile, I came downstairs to get something.  She was in [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=courtneyrile.wordpress.com&blog=4878213&post=350&subd=courtneyrile&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Cambodia and Angkor Wat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
 
Feb. 15, 2009
Out of everywhere I&#8217;ve been, my experience of Cambodia was the most different from the United States.  The road there was bumpy, literally.  Most of the main highway there was red dirt and the driver was going about 50 kilometers per hour.  Tom, Wipada and her two friends&#8230; and &#8230; [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=courtneyrile.wordpress.com&blog=4878213&post=346&subd=courtneyrile&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
