On the road again.

**Written in the car while driving from Lauren and Kyles place in Arkansas back up to Wichita **

Well we're on the road again. Just left Lauren and Kyles place after a fun few days in Rogers, Arkansas.

We arrived in Arkansas around dinner time on Tuesday and after the obligitary cup of coffee we got to Lauren and Kyles. Becca, Maria and Catherine came over and Kyle started to BBQ some food which promptly started a grease fire a few minutes later. Papa Johns it was :)

We had a few beers and played some catchphrase which started out as a very fun and light hearted game but ended up in an all out boys vs girls war. Needless to say the boys clinched it... Everyone was pretty wiped out so the girls went home and we had an early and relatively sober nights sleep.

While lauren and kyle were at work the next day we drove the 30 minutes down to the bar district of fayetteville for a few games of pool. We met a few old timers down there who had some stories to tell, reminded me just how warm and friendly the people of this country are. I guess the same holds true the world over though, no matter where you go you'll find honest decent people just making there way on down the road. We said our goodbyes at the bar and headed back up to Lauren and Kyles place to get cleaned up and go to Olive Garden for dinner. After having a meal that thankfully consisted of no meat at all we all drove back down to Fayetteville to meet Becca and Maria again. Few games of pool, few beers and a couple of Irish Carbombs later we called it quits. It was a same that we caught them all on a "school night" as im sure fayetteville would have been a riot during the weekends. Next time I suppose.

The trip is now rounding off and before long we'll be on our respective flights home, somehow I think we'll be back though. I count myself very fortunate to have been able to come back for the wedding and have the opportunity see some old friends. We've managed to pack quite a fair bit into what was a respectively short trip but it's hard not to feel kinda sad that we're heading home already, its like the Sunday night blues you get before you go back to work but a good 10 times worse.

Just up on our last morning here. After a quick shower and some breakfast Iain and I will start our 26 hour return trip, 6 hours of which spent as a layover in Chicago thankfully :)

Really dont want to leave these people behind, We'll have to think of an excuse to come back soon :)

Until then, take it easy guys.
