Florida in February – Miami, Part Two
February 6 – 20 I awoke the next morning with my back having returned to spasm mode, which meant we weren’t going to do a lot of walking. We decided to take a combined bus and boat tour with the Miami Double Decker tour outfit. Deciding to forgo navigating and parking the Highlander, we took […]
Florida in February – Tampa, Part Two
February 6 – 20 Our last day in the Tampa area would be a full one starting with the 60-minute drive to the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg. Located on the downtown waterfront near 5th Avenue Southeast, Bayshore Drive, and Dan Wheldon Way, it houses the largest collection of Dalí’s works outside Europe. The […]
Florida in February – Tampa, Part One
February 6 – 20 We’ve made a number of trips to Florida in the past, but all have been primarily to the northern part of the state (Tallahassee and Fernandina Beach). Deciding to follow the path of snowbirds, we thought it might be fun to spend a month traveling throughout the state and enjoy its […]
The Holidays 2019, Part Two
December 20 – January 7 The next morning, we met Heather for breakfast at another longstanding favorite, Maxwell’s near the Marina del Rey. Here is a review I wrote about it back in 2014: I’ve been going to Maxwell’s Cafe since the 1980’s and have always enjoyed the food. Not the cheapest or the most […]
The Holidays 2019, Part One
December 20 – January 7 The lead up to our trip to the west coast for the holidays would be convoluted; we’d end up changing our flights twice, incurring painful re-booking costs, all ultimately worthwhile as it gave us extra days with folks we like. The last change bumped up our departure to the Thursday […]
New Orleans 2019 – Part Three
October 19 – 24 With nothing formal on the agenda for Sunday we had a lazy morning as those who’d hit Igor’s the night before took a bit longer to greet the day that the others. We decided to head back over to the French Quarter to walk around and find somewhere to eat, using […]
New Orleans 2019 – Part Two
October 19 – 24 Properly hydrated, we met up with the girls and walked to Jackson Square for the start of our private tour with Dave from NOLA Tour Guy. Having enjoyed a walking tour of the French Quarter during our last visit in 2016:(https://wordpress.com/post/3jmann.com/3389) and I hoped that our group would enjoy one as […]
New Orleans 2019 – Part One
October 19 – 24 As mentioned in the last post, we hit heavy traffic coming into Baton Rouge, caused by construction and a reduction in the number of available lanes combined with merging traffic from other highways, the perfect storm. We moved along while entering New Orleans but observing the traffic going the other way, […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Summary
May 14 – August 19 We’ve had a good run since our first long trip in 2014, completing 3 trips of 3-months or longer in a 4-year span. I’ve pontificated a number of times to any poor soul who will suffer my rambles about the appeal of lengthy travel. For those who’ve escaped my rants […]
West Coast Spring 2018 – Vancouver, Part Three
July 26 – 29 As planned, we set out the next morning on the bikes ready to explore as much of this bike friendly city as we could. Heading north on the bike path two blocks away from the house to just shy of Burrard Bridge, then left along the shoreline all the way out […]
