Blender Spring Break Around the World



The Blenders are off to the four corners of the Earth during our Springbreak, March 23 until April 3. From information from the children, it looks like we will be traveling to at least 6 US states, Oregon, California, Arizona, Washington, Montana, Hawaii. Several families are traveling in Asia- to China and Japan- and another is in Germany! Others will be staying right here in the Rogue Valley. Please let us know about your travels, fun and adventures.

Peace and Light,

Mark

Hi everyone! My mom and I are in Chino valley arizona and we are having a very fun time. When we flew into salt lake city I saw the mountains there and that was cool.

When we arrived in phoenix I saw the city and that it was a sprawling monstrousity. We stayed in a hotel that was really expensive. The next day we went to an indian museum about the hohokam people and there monuments and there lifes. That was really intresting. Then we drove to Chino valley and are staying with our friends that use to live in oregon. My mom and I are having a really fun time.

Aloha class,
what' s happening. I'm kickin' it in Maui right now. I'm about to go snorkeling with my dad so I better hurry up.

Thursday March 27th 2007:

At noon, we left for Pleasent Hill. we had been staying nearby at our grandparents' house. We took bart to the San Francisco airport. When we got to SFO, we went to check in. We had done everything online, so all we had to do was scan some papers and... vwallah. BUT, the papers didn't fit in the scanner, so my dad thought maybe if he pulled it out a bit... Well, The whole scanner fell out and bounced around the airport floor. my dad had to fix it. It was hilarious. When we got through, we went to the food court and I got some chinese food. I also ate some of my dads chilie reillino. I eat a lot. The last two nights for dinner (not including drinks and desert) I've had: A garden burger and fries from BK (you hear later), A plate of chow mein and vegetables, one eighth of a chilie reillino, 3 enchiladas, 2 plates of beans and a basket of tortilla chips.
Back to the story. When I got on the plain, I sat next to my mom and sister. They showed the movie "Happy Feet". I had already seen it so I just listened to my iPod and slept through the flight. When we got to Maui, we got our bags and rented a chrysler sebring. (a car). After we checked into the hotel we were staying in for that night only, We went to the only resteraunt open, BK. It was 9:30 hawaii time and 12:30 PST. We then went for a walk. When we went to bed it was 11:00 hawaii time, 2:00 PST.

Look for more posts each day about my adventures in Hawaii.

Going Snorkeling.

Peace, harmony,good skiing and good vacationing.

Hi Blenders,
I am in Japan. It is really cool. I ate octopus which was really good,(probuly because it was fried and in a really yummy sauce) meat you cooked in a really yummy broth, a waffle cake thing (it was tasty) and candy. I went to the inernational manga festivle which was really cool it had people dressed as people from Japanese shows. I got a poster, postcards, comics and flyers. When we got back to near are hotel I got a Japanese haircut which was really fun. They took a long time to cut my hair so I got to watch funny Japanese cartoons. Then they shampooed my hair and gave me a head massage. After that they blowdried my hair and gave me candy.
Bye Ryan

Day 2
Friday March 23, 2007:

Let me put it this way... our hotel was SWEET!!! For the night we flew into Maui, my dad booked us a hotel by the airport. I thought it would be a rundown shack with rats, mosquitos and no AC. But the Maui Seaside Hotel was a cute little hotel on the water with no rats or mosquitos and a full blown AC.
After waking up at 6:45 Hawaii time, (All times from here on will be in Hawaii time, 3 hours later than Ashland). Anyway, after waking up at 6:45, I enjoyed a complementary breakfast. My dad and I talked to a reaggae band called Third World. We figured out that they had performed at the Ashland Armory twice. They were from Jamaica. Then we bought some food for the next ten days because we are staying a condo with a kitchen. Yes Robbie and Ryan F, we got bananas and potatoes but no mangos.
We packed our bags to leave for our condo and as we were checking out, we saw another Jamaican reaggae band, this one called Inner Circle. We talked to them for an hour and a half before getting in our Chrysler and driving to our condo in a town called Hanakawai. (HAH-NUH-KUH-WHY). The condo is totally awesome. It has a bedroom, kitchen and full living/dining room. Oh, and did I forget to mention that the lanai (deck) LOOKS OUT TO THE BEACH!!!! And it has a pool and a spa. It also has a little spot where you walk along a littled path through a JUNGLE! Seriously. In the jungle there is a huge rock with a waterfall and a pond complete with koi fish. All of this is next to our condo.
Well, we went exploring in the surrounding area before having homeade pizza for dinner. My mom and I went in the pool and spa before hitting the hay.

-Gabe

P.S: Hey Mark. Did you get the photo of me at the Ka'anapali beach?

Hello Everybody.
In my last post I accidentally told you that Hawaii time is 3 hoys later. Well its actually 3 hours earlier. Excuse me for the mishap.

Day 3
Saturday March 24th, 2007:

When I woke up at 7:00, I decided to go snorkeling with my dad, so we went snorkeling. We saw sea anenamoe, tiger fish, an eel, a puffer-fish, some little black fish that had white polka-dots, some bigger fish, brain coral and a cool red plant. It was so cool.Then we went to the pool and spa. After that we came home to an 11:00 brunch.
In the afternoon we walked down the beach and looked at other hotels. I boogie boarded for like five minutes but I got a sun-burned stomach so I stopped. Then we drove to Black Rock. Black Rock is a huge black rock in a place called Ka'anapali. It has really good snorkeling. I snorkeled for a while. Then I devoted the rest of my day to build the beachside sand nation of The Democratic Republic of Botsfinkelberg. Then we watched whales and the sunset before driving back to our condo. We had dinner and then my mom, dad and I went to the pool and spa before going to bed.


SEE Y'ALL LATER

Sunday March 25th, 2007:

I woke up at 6:45. My sister made me breakfast 'cause my parents had gone to a talk. I didn't do much in th morning except for that I watched the Oregon Ducks basketball game on TV. After lunch with the whole family, we drove to Napili Bay. We went snorkeling, boogie boarding, tanning and we played football in the water. It was my third time snorkeling in the past two days. I saw some sweet fish. Then we came home and had dinner. After that, my mom, sister and I continued the tradition of going down to the pool and spa. Then I... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

To visit my cousins and aunt. Yesterday we got to my aunts house.
The day before we stayed with my dads friend, Rutger.
I have had a lot of fun in Germany and Holland and hope everyone is having

Just back from a beautiful run, 20 miles, along the Rogue River, from Grave Creek. Lots of beautiful flowers and LOTS of poison Oak... it looks so beautiful. My friend Ben, Rex the dog and I were running for 4 hours. It was surprising- we saw 4 groups of hikers and 3 out 4 of them had a pistol or a rifle. Did not understand what the point was of the guns...otherwise... so beautiful. Hope everyone had a great day. It was clear here but cool.. in the 50's.

How's the surfing Gabe? How's the cheese in Holland Venus?

Jack, Do you remember Gavin from your baseball team two years ago when you were the Braves? Well, He went to lincoln, but he moved to Maui last year, we ran into him and his mom twice.
I saw three turtles on thursday.
