What a city!!! The modern stores and conveniences (like cell phones…oh, and the Thai are as bad as the US as far as everybody everywhere is always looking at their damn phones!) live side-by-side with decaying infrastructure, massive traffic congestion, and Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Armani!! We arrived at about 2:30 pm on Thursday, Sept…

Believe it or not, we get on a plane to Bangkok in 8 days! AAARRRGGGHHH! We have so much to get done. The e-visa  for India has been approved (that was easy – NOT!) We have gotten our “letter of recommendation” for Vietnam; we will get the Cambodian visa at the border and we don’t…

I used to think that rocks….well actually I never thought about rocks at all. Not until this past trip to San Diego. We drove through hundreds of miles of countryside littered with rocks….big, little, gargantuan, red, white, black, brown, crumbling, tumbly, and stuck in place. I had no idea that rocks came in so many…

We left on Friday for our next house sit in La Mesa, California…right outside of San Diego. On our drive to Arches National Park in Moab, Arizona we passed though some absolutley breathtaking scenery…our favorite being Glenwood Canyon….but Aspen and Beaver Creek and Copper and all those areas had a beauty all their own. There…

We have had several friends bring our attention to the news about some recent bombings in the southern part of Thailand which will be one of our first stops next month. We are very appreciative of their concern for our safety. We have not made and will not make any changes to our plans as…

So I was getting ready to write a “things will not be very exciting (for us yes, but for you to read about, no) in the next few weeks so I will skip writing for a bit)….then…. We had been in Colorado about 2 1/2 weeks and were heading down the canyon on Friday, July…

The people at the U-Haul place are such jerks! On June 22, we called at 10 in the morning to see if we could get the trailer one day early because rain and storms were predicted for packing day and they said it was due back at 11 and call back after lunch. We called…

The drive to Memphis was fairly uneventful considering we were pulling a 12 foot trailer. The only weird thing was that every time I got behind the wheel, it rained…not just rained…torrential,  “I can’t see the road” rain. Buzz got dry pavement every time…..WTH?? The mercury kept rising so we had a couple days of…

It seems like whenever we get together with my sister, it is a holiday and everything is just generally crazy or we meet somewhere in the middle for dinner and time is always too short for a really good visit. Well, we got in a really good visit with my sister, Lynnette and brother in…

I am in love with the upstate New York area, especially Lake George. What a cool place and a throw back to the slower vacation days of lazing in a hammock drinking lemonade. The nickel tour by Sandy and Gary Wensley included driving tours of Lake George and Saratoga Springs, drinks and charcuterie on the…
