NO CUP-O-NOODLES!??!


WOW!!! I have finally arrived at my dwelling place in Swaziland, Africa!!!

I have no clue what the finale total travel time for me was but I feel like I ate way to much and DID way to little. Here is the thing that sux about LONG plane rides, ALL YOU DO IS SIT AND EAT!! (other than read and watch movies and play games but the whole time you do those things your sitting) I feel like the plane would take off and they would pass out a meal, then I'd do whatever I could to make time pass and next thing I know I have ANOTHER MEAL! Its as if I were to wake up at my house in the morning and to sit at the counter and eat breakfast, then sit there till lunch time. Enough of that.

It is 17:20 and I am beat... even though all I did the past 2 days was sit and eat.

So now I am writing you from the comfort of my SWEET cottage. It is way nicer than I expected! Another man is living here with me his name is Micheal. Seems pretty cool. I am going to take some pictures of this place tomorrow and post them. The flight I took from Joe Burg to Manzini was a little different from the others. I could barely fit through the aisle. THIS PLACE HAS A BATH!!! I cant tell you how excited I am for a bath tonight.

So the girl who lives in the main house is Shirley. She picked me up from the airport. As I we were driving away It started to hit me. This is my home for at least the next 6 months. The people, are my neighbors, The roads are my means of traveling, and the Local markets are my means of food. Shirley asked me "Are you going to buy a car"? and I said "ahhh I dont know" and she said "It would help... You could get a nice Rav 4 for cheap...only $6500" HAHA. I proceeded to tell her that if I bought that car I would most likely be broke by next month.


NEED HELP!!!
I was assuming Shirley would do all the cooking but she told me today that I was on my own with that. I've never been a cook. They dont have Top Romin... Or Cup-O-Noodles.... Or TV Dinners... Or even Microwave Corn Doggs!!! So I bought Potatoes... I dont know how to cook potatoes. I bought Pasta Noodles...I dont know how long to boil them. I bought chicken breast assuming there would be a BBQ... THERE ISNT!!! What now? The oven? So all you moms out there need to answer me those questions and let me in on some EASY secret recipes.

Thats all for now. This post turned out longer than i had planned. Sorry.

Peace&Love...SPREAD IT!!!
cory way

Joe Burg!!!


Hey everyone. Cory Here. Reporting from Johannesburg. I landed here after a 11 hour flight from London.

Just bought a coffee... 2 Bucks.... Way better than London. The flight seemed a lot longer than my first flight. I finished my Book "This Side Of Heaven" and when I was going through security one of the African workers saw it and asked me about it. So I said "You want it?" and he got very excited and said he would pray for me. I love nice people like him. I also met a girl from Australia. Evie. Pronounced E.V. It was totally a God thing cause she is going to work at an orphanage in Uganda for 3 months and she has an 8 hour lay over here and I have a 6 hour one. She is very brave coming from home and planning on spending 8 hours alone. In an African air port. She is next to me trying to have a conversation and I'm ignoring her so I can type this to you. That's how committed I am to this Blog thing.

It sux that I am a 5 hour drive from Manzini but I have to wait 6 hours for a flight to take me there. I might just Hitch Hike.

So I don't want to take to much of my Laptop Battery cause I cant charge it till I get to Swaziland. Oh yeah new Info!!! I might to go Kenya for a weekend while the CTK group is there!!!! I have to figure out details but I'll let you know if its Finale.

I Love you all and miss you all.

Peace&Love...SPREAD IT!!!

"You Sound Like Your From LONDON!!!!"



Ok So I just landed in London and it seems I cant find free internet. I bought some online minutes at LAX and they were supposed to work here but I got no luck so far. SOOOO I am typing them out in Word and then I will paste them when I get internet again since the interenet wasn’t workin I decided to get some lunch or breakfast.. or dinner. I have no clue what time it is. So I went and got a Ceaser Salad and a Mocha….Yeah a Mocha. It was gross. But the salad was good. I went to pay my bill…… $25!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy crap!!! If you ever visit london be sure to pack a lunch. So anyways the flight here went by very fast. I slept some, read some, and watched TV some. My watch says 9:49 AM. That’s Cali Time. I think hear it is like….17:49. Do the math. So far people are pretty nice. From here I fly to Johanesburg then have another 6 hour lay over. THEN my final flight to Manzini Swaziland. For now I gotta go find gate 50. Keep prayin I’m halfway there.

Peace&Love…SPREAD IT!!!

See Ya Later U.S.

Sup My People!?!?

hmmm... Well first off even writing the
title to this post makes my stomach hurt. I have so many people who love me in Fallbrook. I've always known it but this past week I have come in contact with so many people who would do almost ANYTHING for me. I am sure I look like a fool gettin teary eyed in the airport.

So back to my trip. Here I am in LAX. Its about 730 and the flight boards in about 30 minutes. I want to thank all of you so much for joining me in this Journey. I had a concert last night and raised about $800!! You are all amazing! Just the fact that you would give up a Sunday night to come hear me sing blows my mind. My mom and Leslie drove me down here today. We left CTK at 2:45... Supposed to leave at 2:00 But we didnt. Were "Way's" remember. But nonetheless I made it hear with time to spare. There were many people I didnt get to formally say goodbye to. I am sorry. I will try to document my 33 hour Travel to Africa as well as I can. I will also try to be short and sweet with my Blogs (despite what Kathy Ransbury told me) because I am sure you dont want to hear my ramble.

I will also be posting Pictures on my Photobucket. Click here to check it out. Bookmark it.(Sorry mom... I know you dont know how to do that :) Not any pictures yet. But there will be... give me time Alissa!!!

This is it. Here I go. My Chains Are Gone... For now.

I LOVE EVERYONE OF YOU!!!

Peace&Love...SPREAD IT!!!
