Name:

We both like to travel, especially to visit family and friends around the world. Coming from Australia and Sweden and having family in Texas and California, most of our trips are to these places. And now we've embarked on a very long trip, visiting about 30 countries, so we thought we'd share our journey with you...

Back to the Beginning

This is the fiftieth post on our travel blog. I (Klas) went back to Chicago last weekend while Melissa stayed in Houston for a "girly" weekend. It was great to be back in the "windy city." I was able to catch up with a lot a friends but as usual there was not enough time to see everyone.

I stayed with Brian and Jeni who have a great place just north of the city centre. The first day I was in town, Brian had tickets to a Chicago Cubs (baseball) game. Brian and I, along with 2xChris, Bill and Scott -- all of whom I used to work with -- went to the game . The weather was pretty nice, but unfortunately the Cubs blew it in the bottom of the ninth. After the game we hung out for a few hours in the area around the stadium called Wrigleyville.

On the weekend I was able to catch up with Steph, Bart, Amy and Brian at a BBQ at Brian and Jeni's place. I had also hoped to play tennis with Karl, Mike and Rick, but that didn't work out. Fortunately we were able to catch up over dinner.
