I'm still stuck in Edmonton. Long story short DO NOT use SKY SHUTTLE to get to the airport even if you are broke. It took 2 hours to make a 35 minute ride. It is now 1030 and I am back at the Sutton Place a lovely hotel were I was given 20 dollars worth of free food and drink and free chocholate covered strawberries. Thank you I still am amazed by the fact it is light out at 1038 pm. Not broa

These past few days have been such a blur....We finally had to say goodbye to our beloved island of Koh Phangan but only after we bought our tickets started drinking and decided to stay another night. Our boatbustaxi left at 6am so we decided to just power through the night and not sleep.....worstbest decision of my life. The night was more than enough to make up for the fact that i found

Dear FriendsA few weeks ago I took my grandson to see the IMAX movie about Lewis and Clarks's adventure to find a westward passage to the ocean. I had seen it last year in St. Louis with my older grandkids. I had seen it many years ago as a Nat'l Geographic special. I think it is a great movie as it depicts the horrible conditions that they and their men and Sacagewea and her baby went through.

Southern Living.Thursday June 17. I say goodbye and head out for the University of Alabama at Birmingham to snap a few pics then Irsquom on my way to the antebellum mansion of Arlington for a tour of the twostory home with its beautiful antique furnishings. Just before I get there I spot a sign that makes me pull over. ldquoPig Lips. 2.99 a quart.rdquo Itrsquos just not something yo

Had an adventurous ride today. They had construction on part of the two lane road to Pinedale and the pavement was COMPLETELY removed. We had oneway traffice on this for about 4 miles. George was not happy. On the other hand the scenery was absolutely gorgeous as we were in the Grand Tetons running alongside the Snake and Hobart Rivers. The waters are a bluegreen and the Snake River was fu

We had a 460 mile drive ahead of us today so we were up at 5 am. It's nice and cool in the mornings so had to wear some of our warmer gear. The scenery was nice today mountains in the background and such. We arrived at the Mountain Home KOA around 4. Was looking forward to getting on the internet since the service at the last campground wasn't working. Found out the one here isn't either. W

Culture Culture Everywhere.Wednesday June 16. By 10 AM Sunny and I wander through the 70 acres of plants flowers and trees that comprise Birminghamrsquos Botanical gardens and that takes up most of the morning. In the afternoon we visit the Art Museum which houses floor after floor of wonderful artifacts including a huge Wedgewood collection. By the time we get back to the house Irsquom

We had to be at the Harley shop in Gladstone at 9 when it opened so we were up at 730 am. Got there and checked in and they said it would be around 230pm. We went to breakfast at McD's and went back to the Harley shop and piddled around for several hours. It was getting hot there so I opted to sit in their lounge and read. Piper slept. They finally got done around 3pm and we went back to th

We got a late start this AM since we don't have that far to drive. Said goodbye to Sara who was still in the bed. They got home after we did last night. We headed out around 10AM. Arrived at the campsite around 2pm. I didn't know this was an RV only campsite. I had explained to the people on the phone what we were pulling and she said there was no problem. After we setup the camper I put P

BonjourBon j'en profite ce matin pour combler mon leger retard. Alors ou en sommesnous Je devrais plutot dire ou j'en suis parce que je viens de perdre ce matin mes deux comparses de voyage qui decollent en ce moment meme de Pekin pour le long retour a la maison. Je suis donc seul. Mais considerant les millions de Chinois a moins de quelques kilometres dans toutes les directions ce n'est

Waking up early wasn't hard this morning. We were heading to Paris. It was one of those impossible things and probably the icon of romance to myself and finally I was about to be there for New Years Eve as wellThe sunrise was gorgeous and I have to say in the end the countryside is kind of more of the same. It does get a touch boring on the bus which is horrible to say I'm in France for heaven

July 8 2010We did not overnight in Weatherford after all. We went looking for some sights to see and ended up in Clinton OK so that is where we stayed. In the morning we took our time waking up and getting ready to start again. Started the day at the Rt. 66 Museum in Clinton. A very interesting place. Took lots of pictures. The Valentine Manufacturing Company built many diners along the hi

Having a new phone shipped to me overnight...keeping my fingers crossed it will show up tomorrow. May lose some contact info too because I didn't back it up online. Thanks for staying in touch with me I'm having a whole lot of fun and LOVE that I can

59F outsideI look up from Inglorious Bastards and see we're almost over Toronto. What time is it When'd we take off again and when'd I start watching this movie I decided to watch IB first because the cabin wasn't dark enough to watch Avatar. Going from a larger than life screen and in 3D to a 4x5 or smaller screen wasn't exactly my goal when viewing this award winning featureAs an asid

Sarah Nora Jess and I went up to Clifton Beach the other day. It's not exactly what you'd think of when envisioning an Australian beach but it's close. The water isn't totally clear until about 50 feet offshore. But other than that it's a post card. White sand beach that gradually fades into a palm tree forest and small green islands right off the coast. Wednesday we went to the rainfores

Today was really gross rainy and cold as hell. I slept in and when I woke up I found a note from Alvaro saying he went to investigate town and would be back in the afternoon. For the next few hours I worked on the photo ID catalogue and by the time Alvaro got back around 1 it was still raining. After a few hours we went grocery shopping. Alvaro keeps saying he wants to buy some pasta sauce f
