Day Two: Vancouver

10:45 AM
I have just landed in Vancouver IA and the lobby kinda looks exactly how I would think a Canadian airport would look. With carpet flooring and wooden statues, this airport seems a lot more homey than DC's airport.

11:35 AM:
The absolute first place I wanted to see first is the Ilanaaq, also known as the rock statue that is the first thing that comes to everyone's mind when thinking about Vancouver. To get there, how ever, we had to take a cable car to the site. The forest around Vancouver seems surprisingly untouched for it being such a large city.

1:30 PM:
After riding the cable car back down, my next stop was the Capilano Suspension Bridge. At almost 500 feet long and 270 feet above the river, crossing this bridge can be a daunting task for some. With the bridge being so high, you can easily see far below you and all of the different kinds of flora around.

Now, after getting back from the bridge, I then traveled to Harbour Centre. At almost 500 feet tall, it is an office building with a large observing deck on top for a 360 degree view of Vancouver. When up there, the view of Vancouver is amazing. I can only imagine how cool it would be to see the city at night up there.

I then went shopping for some souvenirs to bring back home at various tourist shops.

Day One: Washington D.C.

Day One 8:56 AM:  Today is the first day of many of me travelling around the world. I am flying from Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport  to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and hopefully my plane will be able to take off in a couple of hours or so. 11:07 AM: I have now just boarded on the plane and it seems that there will be very little delay before take off. 2:31 PM: We have just landed at Reagan NA and man does it look nice in here! 3:16 PM: Now that I am at D.C., I am going to travel to some of the many monuments and buildings around this city. The first one being the Washington Monument. 3:30 PM: If there is one thing that I will say about the Washington Monument is that it is HUGE! At 555 feet tall it is the tallest building in Washington D.C. and it will apparently stay that way because there is a law that states no building shall be taller than 160 feet. 4:50 PM: The next monument I traveled to was the Vietnam Veteran Memorial....

Day 4: Puerto Rico

10:40 A.M. Today I have just arrived at the Port of San Juan from Miami, Florida. The only thing I really have to say is that I am very excited to be able to explore this island of paradise. 11:13 A.M. The first area I want to go to is Old San Juan. This is the usual for tourists to go to, so I expected it to be chocked full of people already. If there is one thing I always love to find out about a certain location, it would have to be its history and since it has been over 500 years since Old San Juan has been settled, there is a lot to uncover. 11:36 A.M. Lets start off the expedition by going to the mansion of owned by one of the more famous explorers, Ponce De Leon. The manor seems to be modest, but with what they had for building and with the fact that this was built when the people were still trying to settle on the land, it would then seem to be a luxurious place 1:37 P.M. The next place I went to is San Felipe del Morro, which is an old fort built by the Spanish use...
