The Seven Year Itch

Thursday, 12 Sep 2024 | Views [195]

AFTER FOUR DAYS OF NON-STOP TALKING we needed a break from people—some alone time—before visiting John’s brother Ray in Ohio. A bit of Google mapping and some time on Booking.com got us a room on the shore of Lake Erie in the Lake Point ... Read more >


Theory of Relatives

Monday, 9 Sep 2024 | Views [257]

SEEING RELATIVES IS ONLY PART of the plan on our Grand Tour and when it comes to Connie’s family there is still much to be discovered. Now that Ron, the family genealogist, is hors de combat we have to go to the horse’s mouth for the stories.... Read more >


Goin' to Kansas City, Kansas City Here We Come

Tuesday, 3 Sep 2024 | Views [233]

CONSIDERING EVERYONE’S AGE, “Farewell Tour” seemed a bit too fatalistic. So “Grand Tour” it is—2½ months and a few thousand miles driving East then South to visit with friends and family. With the schedules ... Read more >

Sittin' In The Railway Station

Saturday, 3 Aug 2024 | Views [234]

THEY SIT FROZEN IN TIME, WAITING FOR A TRAIN that has left the station for the last time. A sailor and a soldier ready to ship out. A young girl waiting as Mom buys their tickets. A couple saying good-bye after a 3-day pass. The porter helping a family ... Read more >

Rocky Mountain High

Saturday, 6 Jul 2024 | Views [260]

IT HAS BEEN NEARLY 15 YEARS since we visited Colorado ski country—each year we promise to make the trip but keep putting it off. But Houstonian friends Greg and Laura were in town on grandparent duty and a day in the mountains seemed like a good ... Read more >


A Day at the Museum—Teen Rex

Saturday, 22 Jun 2024 | Views [359]

YOU DON’T HAVE TO TRAVEL TO HOLLYWOOD to see the World Premier of a film—you don’t even need to dress up! Yesterday we attended the World Premier of T.REX in 3-D right here at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and not even ... Read more >


Sweet Home Colorado

Wednesday, 12 Jun 2024 | Views [269]

WE HAVE BEEN BACK IN COLORADO FOR exactly a month—and, boy, have we been busy. We got much needed haircuts and retrieved some essentials from storage  even before we checked in to our latest AirBnB, our fifth “same-but-different”... Read more >

East to Alaska

Saturday, 11 May 2024 | Views [266]

AFTER SIXTEEN DAYS AT SEA, THE GOOD SHIP Royal Princess arrived in Whittier, AK yesterday—East to Alaska, not North. As cruises go this one was pretty blah. It began with a last minute change of berths negating the carefully chosen location of ... Read more >


Water, Water, Everywhere—Papeete and Pago Pago

Monday, 16 Oct 2023 | Views [317]

COLERIDGE HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD—just like the ditty “I joined the Navy to see the world. And what did I see? I saw the sea!” Except for stops in Honolulu and Papeete and Pago Pago, we didn’t see another ship until we neared ... Read more >


If You're Leaving From San Francisco...

Friday, 29 Sep 2023 | Views [260]

DESPITE EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY, we are not big fans of cruises. We generally take them as alternative transportation to flying or in order to reach out-of-the-way islands. Nevertheless, we’re off again, this time from San Francisco to Sydney ... Read more >

Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan

Saturday, 23 Sep 2023 | Views [213]

THE WEATHER IN SKAGWAY WAS TERRIBLE; cold, windy and wet. We have been in Skagway several times, even camped for a few nights, so no biggie. Nevertheless, we went ashore to stretch our legs and see what had changed.       ... Read more >


Glacier Bay National Park

Wednesday, 20 Sep 2023 | Views [217]

ENEN A BEHEMOTH LIKE NIEUW AMSTERDAM starts to rock-and-roll in 25-knot winds and ten-foot seas. Landlubbers to the core, both Connie and I awoke during the night from the constant motion but we waited until morning to stick a motion-sickness patch behind ... Read more >


An Alaskan Cruise

Monday, 18 Sep 2023 | Views [242]

FOR YEARS WE HAVE BEEN recommending an Alaska cruise to our less adventurous friends as a great travel baptism. We had spent a summer camping in Alaska, driving up the AlCan Highway in our Subaru, had visited Kodiak, Sitka and Juneau via the Alaska Marine ... Read more >
