So today was the day to pick up the car and drive to Oban. I was dreading it and I guess I wasn't wrong. We woke up early and o had a big granola and yogurt breakfast before we loaded up Christine's car and drove to Perth to pick up the car.

We woke up early in Leith because we needed to get out of the AirBnB by 10 am and we needed to catch a train. I convinced Jared and my Mom not to take a cab so that we could take the hop on and hop off bus again as our ticket was good for 24 hours and ... Read more >

We slept and slept - my travel companions were un rousable until 3 pm!!! I was getting annoyed since it was our last full day. Mom didn't want to go anywhere and just stay in the AirBnB - I couldn't tell if Jared cared.
Oh and I should say ... Read more >

Well....today was a mixed bag to say the least.
I got up around 7 and waited until 9 or so to try to rouse the others - who were un-rouseable until a tad later. I made some meat-free bacon and toast for my mom and Jared slept through ... Read more >

Well...it wasn't really a first day...
We flew to Boston where Jared bought snacks and I got clam chowder from Legals. We also order a wheelchair for mom - which - no one told me would be really, really hard to push between terminals. It was a slog.... Read more >

On our third day in Cabo we were still so full that we didn't go eat. We've just been eating too much on this trip. Instead we relaxed in the hotel and then after the sun went down a little bit at 3 PM we took the car out to go to a beach. As I expected ... Read more >

Well, we didn't get a great nights sleep last night because the construction next-door started at 10 AM and lasted till well after 2 AM. What a bizarre city that allows for construction on a Friday night that late! There was a huge backhoe breaking up ... Read more >

One last note from last night: we watched a truly terrible Mexican movie on Netflix. Do you remember its name JARED? We don't – that's how terrible it was. It was called something like blame it on Karma? I don't mind romantic comedies but this ... Read more >

I got up at eight to attend a union meeting. JARED was still asleep. Not much more to report on that end. When he woke up a tad later he felt like he had slept off his illness. At around 11 we went to the café on the corner to have some coffee ... Read more >

Oh my. So much driving.
If we had to do this trip again, we’d drive less. Jared is a trooper and did a great job but it was a TONS of hard, hard driving.
We (or I should say I) woke up early and I made breakfast with bread and jam. ... Read more >

We woke up late - I mean very late - because we still hadn’t adjusted to the timezone change.
So, we got a late start.
