Shinn (aka -Shabadoo, A.R> short for "Anal Retentive", John, The Planner)

Officer, he's only holding that beer for the picture! This is companion # 2 -the inspiration and project manager of this great adventure. Without him, it probably wouldn't be happening, and certainly would be more of a cluster F if he wasn't lending his experince as a previous Kiwi traveler, and his considerable project manager skills as a control freak. I'd like to say that many of our adventures on this journey will be spontanious in nature, but if I did, then I'd be lying, because we will have little time for spontaneity, since we have a planned itineray for every waking moment, thanks to AR. When we dodo something "off the cuff", that will be either gGraning or me calling the shots after wresting control from Shinn. BTW, since Shinn is so easy to heckle, and since every story needs a protagonist, you may begin to feel sorry for my little buddy - Don't! he deserves every bit of it-

shhh just don't tell him
