Why do all public bathroom doors open in?

Why do bathroom stall doors open in? Aren't they already small enough without making us shove our bodies against the dirty toilet we just spent all our effort to avoid touching, just so you can exit the thing towalk to the sink, which may, or may not, have soap and paper towels, and deffinatly has a nasty door handle we are going to try to open with our feet, legs, elbows, etc?
I hate public restrooms!!! But at least in not in China anymore. Those were & are the worst Bathrooms in the Whole World!

Inverness

Inverness, Scotland. We arrived around 5pm. Found a place to stay for the night. We went out for a bite to eat. Were we seemed to realize that the locals weren't to fond of us Americans. Dinner was a horrible experience. The waiter walked away from our table in the middle of Ryan ordering his dinner, to go seat someone else. No tip for this guy!
And everyone that knows me, knows that this is one of my biggest pet peeve's!!! One thing I hate more than anything is a horrible wait staff. It was a horrible dining experience. The food did finely make its way to our table after about 45mins, after we orderd it. Mine was chicken curry and Ryan's hummus and veg. curry.
I could have cooked it in 10min, max. I cant see how this place stays open. Infact I wrote in the log at our hotel stating not to dine in that restaurant.
The next morning we took off to LochNess.

Scotland

Ryan and I arrived just out side of Glasgow, Scotland. Mid day. We met a gentleman on the plane and we began a nice conversation with him. He took the same train into town as us. Where we encountered a man that was completely pist out of his mind. He kept telling us to shut up because he wanted to drink his beer in quite. Now its illegal to have open containers on any public transportation in Scotland. But this man didn't seem to care. Just that he wanted us to shut up. He was a funny old man. Because he kept talking to himself. He I think was louder than us. But the train stopped In Glasgow, near city center. It is a Beautiful city. The gentleman we met on the plane invited us to have a drink with him at a local pub. We didn't decline the offer. I cant remember the name of the pub but it was a small long space with the bar on the left hand side right when you enter. It was half full. Looked tobe all local fok. It had a good atmosphere. Ryan and I had a Guinness and the man had a double Jack and coke. We sat in the back and talked for a hout or so and parted ways. It was a nice way to start out in a new Country. We found a place to stay. A hostel and we stayed in the dorm room. It was a big room. And Ryan wasn't taking the thought of having to sleep with strangers very well. It made him a little uncomfortable. But the night went quickly. Ryan and I walked around to see the city. It was a little crazy. Lots of drunk footballers (soccer fans) out. but it was fine I felt comfortable. Ryan & I went to a pub and had a Beer.Talked over what we were to do in the morning. Then we went to bed. We woke up about 7am and took the city open bus tour. The trip lasted around 2 hours. This was fantastic!! We really got a good feel of the city. Its so beautiful. One of the nicest cities I've ever seen. I would definitely come back. We had lunch and then took a train to Perth. It was a nice city aswell not much to do we just had a stop over before our next train to Inverness. We walked the whole city in two hours. Then back on the train. Next stop LochNess!!!

A trip to stansted air port.

Hello friends,
Well I left off last with Ryan just arriving into Heathrow, London. We had a flight that left Stansted, England at 12:30pm. Three hours from now. It takes one hour to reach Stansted by bus from Heathrow. We reached our bus at 9:35am which already began to board. There was a cue of people loading there luggage. Ryan and I by-passed this because we only had small back packs on. (Yes, this was all of our luggage. We're men, and we don't need any more than that.) And besides Ryan is only traveling for 9 days.
The bus took off at 9:45 heading for the air port. It was the Express with no stops so I said to Ryan we should be fine and on time. Heading up the High-way, With Ryan excited, this being the first time he's seen another country with his own eyes. He intensely watched the picturesque scenery and watched the cars drive by when he Spots a new Bentley, Baby blue convertible. Brilliant!!! One of the most beautiful cars ever made.
So, he's really happy now. When about 15min. into this ride I hear a faint sound from the rear of the bus. I didn't think anything of it, until a girl from the back of the bus walked calmly to the Bus driver and whispered something to him. The Driver then pulled over on the side of the high-way. He opened the doors and walked out side. He walked to the back of the bus. I watched him from inside. Ryan asked "what's going on" when I saw that the back hatch that stored the luggage had become a Jar. Some where in the past 15 min. The luggage door had opened and littered the High-way with the passenger luggage. Oh sh*t I said. I told Ryan what I saw, when a few of the passenger became frantic. A few ran out side to see if there luggage was still there. The driver came back in to explain what had happened. He said that he was waiting for the Highway patrol officers to retrieve the lost luggage and return it to the bus. After 20 min. I went out side to explain our situation with our flight. He said we would be leaving in the matter of minutes. I agreed to return to my seat. 10 more mins. had past when the driver asked if anyone had a flight that left in the next few hours. a few people raised their hands including Ryan & I. He said that we would be leaving soon. The Police finely showed up with some of the missing stuff. But we were out of time, we had to leave now or we would miss our flight to Scotland. The driver told the passengers that we were going to leave without all the missing items. The police would take the remaining articles to the air port once retrieved.
We were off once again. We arrived to stansted at 11:37 the Gate closed at 11:45. So we even had a few minutes to spare.
Well so far I'm not too impressed with the way this trip is starting off. The bright side is, it can only get better from here on out.... Right???

Check back soon for more crazy adventures of Ryan and I in the U.K.

Off again!!!

Hey friends. Miss me? It's been a month since I've really updated my site.
Well sorry for that, but I needed a break. But here I am again.
This time I'm bringing a friend along to share the awesome adventures as I do. This should be awesome!!
Well today Ryan and I left on our awesome World Adventure. We rented a car and drove to Salt lake. We were faced with a huge snow storm. It was so crazy seeing this. Its been over a year since I've even seen snow. Well this freak blizzard seemed to vanish as we drove into the LDS capital of the world. Witch is S.L.C.
We meet up With Ryan's Cuz Jess and his wife Jessie. They were fantastic hosts. We dropped off our rental car and they took us out for drinks, dinner, & Pool.
And boy did they get us drunk... We had a wonderful visit!! Thank you both again for a fantastic night! It was a great way to start off this trip. If your ever in Boise I hope I can return the favor and treat you to a night out.
They took us to the air-port and we flew to L.A. Where Sarah & Natalie were waiting to pick us up. They took us back to there house. It was a slow night, Didn't do much. In the morning the Girls took us out. First we went to (Trader Joe's) so Ryan could buy some cliff bars. Then we drove to the pier and had lunch over looking the ocean. We then went on a drive to some old house's Sarah lived in when she was young. They were very nice. It was getting tobe about that time and the Girls had Night School so they couldn't take us to the Air-port. They dropped us off at Disney Land. We then took the Shuttle bus to the Air port.
Ryan and I had different flights. Mine was the first to leave. Ryan's left 13 hours later. I Arrived in London around 3pm on the 31st of March. Witch just so happens tobe my Birth day!
I wish I could now go on telling you how wonderful a night I had, With beautiful girls and lots of partying to the wee hours of the night. but I can not. Ya I know how lame that is.
Yours truly must be getting old, because I just wanted to get a bite to eat and pass out for the night. And that's what I did. I took the Express train to the center of London. I walked around for a few hours. Then I got a room and Feel a sleep. That's how my 23rd B-day was. Exciting I know.
Ryan's flight flew into heather at 7:30am and I was there waiting... But there was "NO" Ryan, I waited, and Waited but still no sign of him. Now you see this is Ryan's first time out of the country infact Im not sure if he's ever traveled by him-self before? I went to the Flight Info. desk, I asked if they could tell me if he had infact got on his Plane? I knew he had to switch planes @ JFK in New York. The man at the desk couldn't tell me anything helpful. It's about 830 and Im starting to worry. His plane arrived almost an hour ago. I didn't know what to do?
I just sat back and waited some more because there wasn't much more I could do. At 9am I see him. He was just walking out of the terminal. I was holding a sign with his name on it. He saw it and started his was towards me. We shook hands and I asked what had happened he begin telling me what happened. To make it short he waited in the wrong line through Customs and then he didn't feel out his arrival card right so the were giving him a hard time. But he made it out safe, and we didn't have a Minute to spare. We had a flight that left at 1230 from a different air port and it was about 930...
