After returning from Iraq, Ryan Conklin had it high on his agenda to contact and visit his close friends, especially the friends he made while on The Real World Brooklyn. Of The Real World cast, the first one that Ryan went to visit was JD Ordonez, traveling down to Miami to see him. Ryan may have picked JD first because Miami would be a nice place to visit during the winter. Unfortunately for Ryan, Florida was experiencing a cold wave, and the temperatures even in Miami were too low for beach weather. It didn't natter though as Ryan and JD got to spend some quality time renewing their friendship.
It was a brief jaunt, only 2 days, but about it Ryan wrote to JD, "I had an absolute blast and can't thank you enough for being awesome. Thanks JD."
=================
Ryan had only been home at Gettysburg for 3 days before he made the trip. Besides seeing the family and local friends, Ryan apparently spent a lot of time during that period calling people to say how he was. You could tell this by his tweets:
"You know you're from a small town when your phone has more bars than your town."
"Pocket-dialing: Supplying the world with countless apologies and eavesdropping since the dawn of cellphones."
"Never buy food when you are on your cellphone. You'll buy things you don't like."
