WE DROVE TO THE SOUTHERN-MOST POINT in the U S of A this morning. Despite what Old-timey Conchs and Parrot-heads would have you believe, it isn’t Duvall Street in Key West. Nope, South Point, Hawaii lies at 18.9136° North latitude while Key ... Read more >

WE CROSSED HAWAII YESTERDAY for the last time. We'll be spending the next two weeks in our “Tropical Garden Apartment” perched on the slopes of Hualālai with fantastic views of the coast. Our ground-floor AirBnB isn’t as large ... Read more >

HAWAI’I ISN’T ALL SURF AND SAND—AT LEAST not for us. Connie isn’t all that keen for the beach and I rode my last wave decades ago. There are many wonderful hiking trails on the Island, crossing rugged lava fields and winding through ... Read more >

TIMING MAY BE EVERYTHING BUT SOMETIMES just being lucky is good enough. The woman who checked us out at Safeway mentioned how fortunate we were that Kilauea was erupting again. Who knew? It’s nothing like the spectacular 2018 eruption that destroyed ... Read more >

“ALOHA” FROM PARADISE. NEARLY TWO YEARS after Covid chased us from New Zealand and canceled our AirBnB we made it back, proving that all things come to him who “hangs loose.” Hawaii still quarantines visitors who haven’t ... Read more >

THE CRUISE IS OVER AND WE HAVE two days to spend in LA. The Super Bowl is out of the question—they’re getting $7000 for a ticket and even parking costs $300. We have reservations at the Dunes Inn for Sunday. It’s an old-style place ... Read more >

COMPARED TO THE COST OF HOTELS in the LA area, a cruise to Mexico is a bargain. For less than the cost of a week in a mid-range hotel we spent ten days cruising to Baja and Puerto Valarta. This would be our first time on Princess, with many of the same ... Read more >

THE EVIL THAT MEN DO LIVES AFTER THEM; The good is oft interred with their bones; so let it be with Nixon. With apologies to Marc Antony and Wm. Shakespeare, maybe Richard Nixon wasn’t as bad as he seemed back in the 70s. And while I wouldn’... Read more >

DRIVING IN CALIFORNIA, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT, isn't advised. John wisely used the "jet-lag defense" to convince Chris and Ursula to pick us up for dinner on Friday. Chris knows the way and is used to the high-speeds and California quirks. Besides, he ... Read more >

COTTONWOOD IS 300 MILES FROM BISBEE, north-by-northwest for you Hitchcock fans. It is a much better deal, AirBnB-wise, than Sedona where we wanted to stay. Officially a mother-in-law suite, “The Miller’s” has a separate bedroom, full ... Read more >

GOOGLE MAPS SAYS THE GRAND CANYON is 94-miles from Cottonwood. According to Gabbi, who relies on roads, it’s a bit over 150. Pas de problemme —no drive is too far for another chance to see one of Nature’s best efforts.
