Egypt, Part Three
November 6 – 17 At the start of the tour, Mahmoud collected 515 EGP ($34) from each of us to handle the tips downstream as he referred to it, that is those he would dole out to busboys, drivers, and anyone else providing a service. This concept would be tested when we got involved with […]
Egypt, Part Two
November 6 – 17 Mid Saturday afternoon we checked out of the Marriott and took a taxi to the AraCan Pyramids Hotel, on the outskirts of Cairo in Giza, our lodging for the night, the first of our scheduled Egypt Adventure tour with Intrepid Travel out of Canada, which would last eight days and include […]
Southern Arizona Sunsets Bike Tour, Part One
October 18 – 27 We spent the next few days at home preparing for what would now be an extended period of time away, traveling for a little over a month to North Carolina, Egypt, and then Mexico. But first we’d take off for over a week and meet up with Adventure Cycling to participate […]
On the Road Agai 2019, Part One

The Move, Part Three
May 1 – June 10 Besides hanging out with friends we would dearly miss during our last few days in town, we did get out for a few bike rides and one memorable on I’ll refer to as the nostalgia ride. During our eleven years of riding in and around Charlotte we’d initially ridden a […]

West Coast Spring 2019, Part Three
April 4 – 15 After breakfast we drove the short distance into downtown Sacramento for our anticipated visit to the State Capital. Imagine our surprise when we found a number of the streets surrounding the grounds closed to traffic and all of the nearby street parking spots shut down as well. Dozens of canopies surrounding […]
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 – Miami, Part One
February 6 – 20 We broke camp in the morning, Joanna doing much of the lifting and bending and then without much ado, took off north for Miami, a journey of less than four hours which would give us time to do a couple of tourist-like activities on the way. About ten miles into the […]
