Content Is KING

 To me, traveling is very important and lots of fun. I love to travel and experience the different cultures and foods and people.


There are tons of traveling blogs out there, but i found one that i particuraly like. It's called Gadling http://www.gadling.com/ and has everything you need to know.


If in the future I most likely won't be a blogger, but who knows maybe i will. If i am, either travel, family life, or sports will be by subjects

Tennis Ball Activity

On Wednesday, we completed a tennis ball activity. I wasn't there, but Ryan filled me in on  what went down. The challenge was to have everyone touch the trennis ball in the least amount of time. Our team chose to pass the ball around the circle. Both teams executed well and pretty much tied. I think we would both do the same thing over again. This activity reinforced teamwork and was lots of fun.

Lost At Sea Overview

On Wednesday I was absent so I couldn't partake in this activity with my team. I returned on Thursday and did do the activity. We were given a list of 15 items and needed to decide which would be most important and which would not be, ranking the items 1-15. My items went

1. 25 liter water
2. Case of army rations
3. 20 sq. ft. of plastic sheeting
4. 15 ft. nylon rope
5. fishing kit
6. mosquito netting

7.shaving mirror

8. shark repellent

9. 2 boxes chocolate

10. 10 litre can of oil/petrol

11. small transistor radio

12. floating seat cushion

13. one bottle 160% proof rum

\14. Maps of pacific Ocean
15. sextant

I chose the 25 litre can of water as #1 because i figured in order to survive any length, you will need water.
At number2 I chose a case of army rations, because if I am out on the water for a few days, hunger will come and I will need to eat food eventually. For my #15 i chose a sextant. I don't have any maps of the stars, and i can't manuevre my boat anyways.

My group chose pretty much the same order as I did, so there reaaly isn't much to say as far as differences go. Although i wasn't there, I bet our group worked well together and worked effectively.

I was actually surprised by the experts' rankings. My rankings were quite off compared to theirs. I was surprised by their #1 and #2 rankings of mirror and oil/petrol mix. Their theory is that those things could be used for signaling which could be used for rescue. Their rankings were more for getting rescued, while mine were more towards water, food, and lasting the longest.
