Air Time

Here’s a cross-post from the road trip blog (roadtrip.brettmickelson.com) about our interview.

Our interview went very well. We were on the air on Monday, February 18th from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., during which time we discussed the basics of our trip. An hour seems like a long time to talk about something, but we could probably blab about our experiences for a whole day without running out of material. Instead of writing out a story about the interview, I will simply post the interview in MP3 format.

Please note that the recording begins five minutes into the interview. We want to thank WHUS for having us on the air, it was a lot of fun.

Now, we are working on our “best of” post(s), which should be up in a few days. We are being very thorough, reading every post to make sure we don’t miss a thing, so be patient and keep checking in. Also keep an eye out for our experiences at the New York Times Travel Show on Leap Year weekend!

Here are some photos from the studio!

After our interview, we went to Cinco De Mayo, a Mexican restaurant nearby, with our friend Melissa. We’ve always enjoyed the food and it was nice to have good Mexican food again. Here are some photos from the restaurant and one from UConn.

Listen To Us!

Tomorrow (Monday, February 18), we are going to be interviewed on the UConn radio station, 91.7 WHUS! We will be in the studio and on the air 1 p.m. You can listen online at the WHUS website and feel free to call in and ask us questions!

I will post the interview on here after we’ve been on!

Last night, we had dinner with Scott and Laura, a couple that my family has known since before I was born. It was great to see them and catch up. This summer, my mother and brother are going to Egypt for two weeks on a trip that Scott and Laura organized. Julia and I are thinking about going, so we were able to discuss that as well.

Today, we saw There Will Be Blood. Julia didn’t get into it, but I thought it was good. It’s a very unusual movie, especially the soundtrack, but Daniel Day-Lewis is amazing and I thought the movie was quite gripping.
