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 […]
Copenhagen, Part One
10/5-10/14 This trip all started during a phone call with my sister Bev one-day last spring. She mentioned that she planned to travel to Copenhagen in the fall to spend time with her son Dillon. He has been living there since the middle of last year, and she had flown there for a night during […]
Outer Banks and More, Fernandina Beach
June 11-14 It took a bit of time navigating on local two lane roads to reach Interstate 95 for our 3 ½ hour drive south to Fernandina Beach. Once on the highway we made good time until we hit multiple sets of driving rainstorms so fierce we, and many others on the road were forced […]
