Saskatoon

OK.  I know I've been quiet for a while now ... it's because I've been chilling out in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, LEKs home town. Now you may think that I've just been a lazy arse here, and you would be mostly correct! But I have actually gotten ... Read more >


Powering home

Taos was the sweetest little town with great galleries and quirky stores, and we wished we had spent 2 nights there instead of in Santa Fe.  Had great food in Michael's restaurant and found 'the first trading post in the US', if you can believe the ... Read more >

Bette was AMAZING!  Some great songs that I knew and some that I didn't.  She really does have a great voice.  And she was pretty funny.  She told jokes and took the piss out of herself, and some other people ... like Sarah Palin. And she did some ... Read more >


City of Angels

I'm just amazed at how Mexican it is here.  All the names of towns and streets.  Every second restaurant is Mexican (and I don't really like Mexican food either). Aparently it actually used to be Mexico and the States annexed the land at some point ... Read more >


If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair ...

“Wow!”, “Amazing!”, “Very pretty”.   These comments were uttered the most as we drove down the Oregon coast and into California.   The rugged Oregon coastline was so beautiful with its backdrop of pine trees. Last night we stayed in a motel in ... Read more >

Portland , Oregon … a gorgeous city.   Happy, friendly people, beautiful buildings and tree-lined streets.   Kinda groovy, bohemian.   LEK fell on her run the morning we left Vancouver and strained her hip joint, so ... Read more >


The first leg: Banff to Vancouver

The flight from Muscat to Calgary was long, 19 hours with a 3 hour stopover at Frankfurt, but not too tiring.   Disappointingly, there were not too many movies on offer.   The only good one that I hadn’t seen was The Reader , ... Read more >

2 Days to go ...

OMAN | Tuesday, 2 Jun 2009 | Views [313]

In 2 days I will be on the plane heading for Calgary, Canada.  I've done the washing, mended the clothes that needed it, put a new light coloured lining in the new, black-fringed, suede shoulder bag that I'm taking, laid all my clothes and toiletries ... Read more >

Only 8 days till I leave on THE BIG ROAD TRIP. Starting to get all my things sorted now. Want to keep my luggage at a minimum as we won't have a lot of room in Leigh-Ellen's small car. But have to think about the weather. Starting in Banff and Jasper ... Read more >
