East Coast Fall 2024, Spanish Fort/Mobile, Part One
October18- 20, 2024 After straightening up the Airbnb and bidding farewell to the rest of our group, we hit the road for the six-hour drive to Spanish Fort, our home for the next three nights. We’ve spent quite a bit of time traveling many sections of the I-10, including at least three full runs from […]
Spring North Carolina 2023, Part Two
April 18 – May 2 As mentioned in the earlier post, as soon as we pulled up to Wye Hill Brewing, I recognized having been there before. It was in 2009 when we lived in Charlotte and I had just purchased our 2007 BMW 335 and took off on a Friday to drive to Raleigh […]
East Coast Fall 2021 – Ithaca, NY, Part Three
October 12 -15 As rain was in the forecast the next day and we’d had our good bike ride, we decided to drive up to Taughannock Falls State Park and perhaps get in a short hike there. This 750-acre park features Taughannock Falls, a 215-foot plunge waterfall that is the highest single-drop waterfall east of […]
North Carolina Spring 2021, Part Two
June 3 – 14, 2021 Heading out of the airport was like returning home; hard to believe that just 11 years in a place can make it seem like somewhere you spent most of your life. This trip for us would be different than the many we usually we take, in that we’d be doing […]
Hot Springs 2021, Part Five
May 13 – 24, 2021 Our next day in Henderson would be a full one, starting with dropping off the BMW at the dealer to replace a burned-out driving light. Leaving it until later in the day, we all made our way to one of the highlights of the weekend, Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart. It […]
Hot Springs 2021, Part One
May 13 – 24, 2021 May arrived with rapidly declining Covid rates and Joanna and I fully vaccinated, began to plan for a return to our routine of the last seven years of abundant travel. This next trip would mirror those we did last year during the height of the crisis, indeed much of what […]
Fall Western States, Part Five
November 2 – 13, 20 After the Museum we dropped off Dillon at his and McKenzie’s apartment, a nice two bedroom in a cool area of downtown and returned to the Airbnb to rest up before heading out again to meet them at our choice for dinner that night, Brewery Emperial. Seated outside underneath a […]
The Move, Part Two
May 1 – June 10 We worked steadily on packing after our return from the CNC Coast ride, generally in the morning but often waiting until the afternoon so we could get a bike ride in before it warmed up. Although the deadline was tight and we had committed to loading the PODS on Monday […]

Europe 2017 – Summary, Part One
August 24 – November 15 This trip was unlike any that we have taken in the past. Three major factors defined this difference: We would not, except for a brief period, be using a car for transportation We would not do any camping With the exception of our time with Francois, we would not […]
