Europe 2025 Porto, Part Three
March 26-30 Jessica felt much better the next day and was able to join us as we set out on a Hop on Hop Off bus experience that would lead to a day of fun and adventure. Our first stop would be across the river in the suburb known as the Lodges of Gaia. In […]
Europe 2025 Porto, Part Two
March 26-30 That night Jessica got hit with a nasty stomach bug that would keep her up all night and put her out of service for the next day and part of the one afterwards. Kris also felt a little under the weather and decided to stay close to the apartment and hope to recover […]
Europe 2025 Porto, Part One
March 26-30 Last summer Jessica and Kris received an invitation from their friend Meg for her wedding which was scheduled to take place at the end of April in a small-town Portugal, about two hours east of Lisbon. It was soon decided that we, along with Kim and Marty, would join them and that we […]
East Coast Fall 2024, Lafayette
October18- 20, 2024 Our short four-hour drive to Lafayette went smoothly and we arrived at check-in time at Paz’s place Airbnb. We’ve had good luck with Airbnb in rarely having booking’s cancelled (only once before I memory) but this trip brought us two, the first in Amelia Island and now here in Lafayette. About a […]
East Coast Fall 2024, Spanish Fort/Mobile, Part Two
October18- 20, 2024 As mentioned in the last post, we had one last stop on the agenda for the day, and that was at the Oakleigh House, the centerpiece of the Oakleigh Historic Complex, a grouping of buildings that contain a working-class raised cottage, Union Barracks, and a modern archives building. The name for the […]

October15- 17, 2024 After our bike ride, we cleaned up, packed and hit the breakfast room and then made our way the short hour down to St. Mary’s, Georgia for three nights at Brittany’s Place Airbnb which we’d booked after our initial lodging choice, closer to Amelia Island, had to cancel due to flooding from […]
East Coast Fall 2024, Gettysburg and New Jersey, Part Two
September 20 – 24, 2024 After our long day out at Gettysburg our next one would be low key, centered on getting a bike ride in on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal (C&O) and exploring the area around the Airbnb. It had rained overnight so we waited a bit for the pavement to dry before […]
East Coast Fall 2024, Gettysburg and New Jersey, Part One
September 20 – 22 2024 After breakfast with Doug, we hit the road for our three night stay in Sharpsburg at Jennifer’s Place Airbnb (The River Bend Retreat ~ C&O Canal ~ Antietam), located in an ideal spot just yards away from the Potomac River and the C&O Canal. It’s a large and spacious two-bedroom […]
East Coast Fall 2024, KC and Ohio
September 14 – 19 2024 As mentioned earlier, our drive to Kansas City would take about ten hours but would be a bit easier with three drivers as Doug would be with us all the way back to his house in Ohio. We arrived in the late afternoon, losing another hour due to a time […]
East Coast Fall 2024, Cisco Fest, Part Two
August 29 – September 14, 2024 It would take us two days to drive to our next destination, Spearfish, and we split it almost evenly with an overnight stop in Green River, Wyoming. Our lodging that night, the best deal we could find in this small town was at the Little Bear Motel for $119 […]
