Virgin
Islands
When I left to go to Brussels i forgot
my ticket at home, but I only found that out at 10pm. So
I had to drive back all the way to my place. luckily my
girl came with me and good thing there wasn't that much
traffic so we had a pretty smooth driving session. O and
on the way back the closed the entire road en there
where cops everywhere so we had to go through the gas
station. When we saw what was going on it was kinda
funny. There was a chopper in the middle of the highway.
We drove on and got home safely at 2am to sleep a whole
3 hours. At Brussels airport I had to pay for my
boardbag and then went on to catch my flight... that was
30 min delayed. Normally that doesn't matter, but I had
such tight connection flights that every minute was
welcome. After 8 hours orso we reached JKF (New york)
airport 40 minutes late and I already had only 2 hours
to get to the next plain. When I was halfway through the
line of immigration I saw a clock that said I only had
an hour before my flight left. After immigration I
sprinted to luggage dropped that off and sprinted to my
gate and made it when the started boarding. Miami was
easy I only had half an hour cause we where delayed
again, but my gate was next to the gate I came out of so
that was good. After arriving in St. Thomas I was so
tired. I didn't expect my luggage to be there, but then
I saw my boardbag and my other bag so I was stoked. I
got picked up by Nicolas and drove home.

Caribean islands
When we landed on the airport we had to
wait a couple of minutes, because there was nobody there
yet. Finally someone came took our passports and he was
gonna drop em of at the bungalows. We took of at from
the airport and landed at the bungalows. When we emptied
the helicopter we had to divide all the stuff over all
the bungalows. When we finished after an hour orso the
bertram came in. So we loaded of all the stuff that was
on the bertram. At noon there was an other car coming
with more food in there so we had to divide that as
well. When we finally finished we loaded up the dingy
with kitestuff and went down to the kitespot. it was
blowing super nice for my new 9m2. We had soup for diner
and some cookies for dessert. We watched an episode of
Prison Break and when that was finished we had to watch
another episode, but when that one was finished we went
to sleep.
Next morning we put up a big tent so we
had more room to have diner with a lot of people. When
it was a lil later on the day we had a nice kiting
session on my 9m2, but on the end the wind died a lil
and we called it a day for kiting that is, because we
chilled some and went surfing after. When it got dark we
didn't had enough light any more so we went in and had
super nice piece tuna. We watched Prison Break before
going to bed.

St. Thomas, US
virgin Islands
Tomorrow it's finally so
far...I'm trading this cold Holland for the warm and
nice weather place St Thomas USVI. I'm going there to
see my girlfriend again and ofcourse to relax and
kiteboard/surf. I'll be there for a month and ofcourse
i'll keep you guys updated with almost :P everything
what i'm doing there! i'm going to buy a photo-camera
and take lots of pictures of the beautiful island
and the kiting action ofcourse!!
Friday 16th of
december I woke up at 5am to go take a quick shower and
get ready to go to the airport. My flight was at 8.35am
so I was really on time. when I came for the check in I
had my boardbag, a weekend bag and my backpack with my
guitar sticking out of it. I had piece concept that
means you can take two pieces of luggage that can be 23
kilos each! and normally i'm always overweight and now I
had some kilos over! my first flight was from Amsterdam
to Madrid. In Madrid I had to wait for 2,5 hours for my
connection flight to San Juan (Puerto Rico) but that
flight had a delay from 50 minutes. but it didn't really
matter because I had to wait on San Juan for 2,5 hours.
and the delay would only mean less waiting there. I got
in the plain and there was no one sitting next to me so
I thought sweet relaxing, but I couldn't rase the arm
seat in the middle couse it was stuck. half way I
changed my time to puerto rico time (-5GTM I think).
when I came down to San Juan and went to immigration
first they didn't let me enter the USA...

Cumbuco and Fortaleza,
Brasil
When I came on the airport we had a
delay of 2,5 hours. so we had to wait like a long time.
at the check in I had only 22kg so that was cool and
than the girl said: im going to give you 1 kg to pay. so
it was ok. and where I had to pay I said im not going to
pay for 1kg so she let me of free. it was also like 30
euros a kg. well when we arrived at the airport in
fortaleza we had a ride to combuco so that was cool. im
staying at a place that is like 1 min walk from the
beach it cool. but its starting to get windy so im going
to go kiting.

Cabarete,
DR
After I went Delta-flying with my mom, she
dropped me of at the airport in Dusseldorf, but that was
like 15 before my flight was taking off. So i had to
spend a night on the airport. finnaly the time was there
to go in the air, but ofcourse 1 hour delay. I was so
tierd that i slept most of the time in the plane (what
normally is not possible for me). half way my battery of
my i-pod went down, so that was a big peg. so after a
hectick flight I finnaly arrived in Puerto Plata.

Woensdag 11 augustus, het
vertrek begon om 12: 00 vanaf Kevin Langeree zijn huis
in Noordwijk, waar hij zijn stopwatch aan zetten. Toen
we eindelijk in Brussel, vanaf daar vlogen we, waren
aangekomen bleek dat we best nog een uur langer hadden
kunnen slapen, omdat we een uur bovenop de twee uur van
te voren aanwezig waren.
