We’re heading home. I’m writing this in the car courtesy of my trusty EVDO card which works surprisingly well in West Texas….even if I’m not actually getting EVDO speeds. This trip has been a very good getaway from life, but stress seems to follow me regardless of where I go. Whether it was making a decision about where to eat or what to do, nobody could seem to agree on what to do in a stress free manner. I ended up sitting back and just staying out of it for the most part.

On a separate note…New Mexico and West Texas are flat….very flat. I’ve seen more elevation changes in a sheet of notebook paper. Somehow people find a way to live out here, but I don’t think I could handle it. Lack of decent high speed, enjoyable activities, and an Apple Store within decent distance would be an instant no go for me.

We’re heading to Lubbock right now, then to Amarillo and finally home. I hope to get some rest for tomorrow. Easter Sundays are always busy busy. Granted NORTHchurch.tv isn’t anywhere near as busy at LifeChurch.tv, but we definitely have a huge influx. We’re not expecting the normal size of an influx this year due to Spring Break coinciding with Easter.

That’s it for now. I’ll fire up another entry before I get home tonight probably. If not, check back for the pics and vids.

Today was very exhausting. I’m out of shape severely. Dropped 750 feet to the Caverns of Carlsbad…twice. Once in an elevator and once on foot. It’s truly amazing such a place exists on this earth, preserved enough from the destruction of man, that you can imagine what it looked like thousands and millions of years ago. Granted, mankind has been destructive enough to these caverns, but the majority of the beauty remains intact.

I’ll have the pics up on Flickr along with some video of our tour on this site after I get home. Traveling with family that doesn’t truly understand the whole Social Networking/Internet/Media thing makes things a little difficult to do run and gun editing.

I’m sitting in a hotel room in Carlsbad, NM.  I’ve been away from home for 24 hours.  I wish I was lifecasting but the lack of a decent civilized 3G or even 2.5G network along the way has made that impossible.  So I’m taking pictures which you can see (here and here).

I’m so glad to be out of the car.  I hope the bed is more comfortable than last night and that tomorrow is more interesting than today.  We’re scheduled to hit the caverns at 10 AM.  I don’t know what the day has for me after that.  I find myself lacking energy to move.  It’s vacation.  I want to rest, but the break from life at home is definitely appreciated.  I’ve been videoing as well but probably won’t have anything up until I get back or maybe tomorrow night.  I’m too tired to capture and then edit…especially with a comfortable looking bed so close.

Keep checking Flickr and Facebook if you have it.  I’ll get the podcast and the YouTube going in the next couple of days hopefully.

Catch you tomorrow.
