South East Spring Swing, New Orleans #3
March 24-26 After a day of staying indoors with a heavy dose of museum, we decided to dial back our ambition on Friday and take advantage of a beautiful day weather wise with a first stop at Lafayette Cemetery #1. Located in the heart of the Garden District, it is the oldest of the […]
South East Spring Swing, New Orleans #2
March 24-26 We broke camp Thursday morning, beating an incoming rain storm with just enough time to pack our equipment dry, then sat in the car to read and get caught up on email. At the appointed time we checked out of the KOA and drove to the French Quarter to pick up Lyndsay and […]
South East Spring Swing, New Orleans #1
March 19-23 Rain had greeted us upon our arrival in New Orleans but departed by early Sunday morning leaving us with a clear, but cold start to the day. We had hoped to get a bike ride in before I left for the Marriott at the French Quarter and the start of the conference, […]
South East Spring Swing, Corpus Christi #2
March 16-18 Knowing that we would need to get an early start the next day for the long drive to New Orleans (made longer due to the closure of the I-10), we slept in and dawdled Friday morning. Once we got ready to move out we bandied about several options and decided to make it […]
South East Spring Swing, Corpus Christi #1
March 16-18 Up early as planned, we grabbed a quick breakfast at the Best Western and were on the road right around our planned departure time of 7:00 am. We drove west to Lafayette where we turned off onto the I-49 towards Alexandria to start the detour caused by the closure of the I-10 at […]
South East Spring Swing, Baton Rouge
March 12-13 The drive on Monday to Baton Rouge went smoothly, again just a shade over six hours of drive time. We passed through familiar territory, particularly stretches of the I-10 having come this way a couple of times in our travels last year. This is bayou country, with long sections of roadway built on […]
West Coast Fall 2015, Part Seven
10/22-11/2 With a relatively short drive back to Oakland that Thursday and a bit of time on our hands with Jessica and Kris at work all day, we elected to visit Tuolumne Grove, one of Yosemite’s three Sequoia groves (the other two are Mariposa and Crane Flat), just past the Tioga Road turnoff. Not […]
West Coast Fall 2015, Part Six
10/22-11/2 We left the Visitor Center and walked back over to the food shops at the Village, picking up some coffee and soup to go along with the sandwich’s we had made back at camp. It was pleasantly chilly, to sit outside and enjoy the clear air and pleasant surroundings. Once finished we walked a […]
Copenhagen, Part Six
10/5-10/14 Our final day in Copenhagen would be a busy one. We’d watched the weather forecasts carefully and aware that rain was on its way scheduled outdoor activities for Sunday (Boat Tour) and Monday (Cemetery and Christiania) leaving a couple of indoor options for a rainy Tuesday. Once again, Bev and I made our way […]
Copenhagen, Part Three
10/5-10/14 Our plans for an early start were sidetracked as we all slept in pretty late, given our post midnight bedtime the night before and the long tiring day that preceded it. Bev’s knock on or door roused Francois and I around 9am and within a short time, we’d showered, dressed and prepared for another […]
