Outer Banks and More, Bodie Island Part Three
June 3-7 The heavy rain overnight and sketchy forecast for Friday put a damper on any bike ride we may have contemplated; instead we made plans to duplicate the day before by driving as far south as we could. As we started to drive we stopped across the road from the campground at the Oregon […]
Outer Banks and More, Bodie Island Part Two
June 3-7 Not sure of how much we would cover that first full day, we set out before noon heading north towards the Wright Brothers National Memorial. Not far from camp we passed the turn off for the Bodie Island Lighthouse, but elected to hit it another day. The Memorial is almost seventeen miles straight […]
A West Coast Swing – Change is in the Air
March 12 – 23 We needed to use a companion fare ticket with US Air prior to June and as the timing played out, going in March would work the best for all parties involved. We flew out Thursday night March 12th; many years of making this trip have proven that for us, flying out […]
Europe 2014 – Vienna – On the Trail of the Great Composers
Timeline: September 7th – 10th Although just a short 200 kilometers (126 miles) drive from Cesky Krumlov to Vienna from a mileage perspective, the need to take country roads in the Czech Republic added extra driving time to the trip. We entered Austria a couple of hours after noon and stopped for gas at an OMV […]

Timeline: September 3rd – 6th The next two days (we decided to stay one more night) would be devoted to enjoying Cesky’s beautiful outdoors and some predicted nice weather. We’d also take advantage of our warm and dry indoor conditions making use of the very slow Wi-Fi (with good coverage I can load a blog […]
Europe 2014 – Jerez: Horses and Sherry, What More Could a Man Want?
Timeline: June 25th We’d decided, based on the success we’d had with our two-night blast through Burgos and Leon to do Gibraltar the same way, that is spend two nights in a hotel. We’d made a reservation in advance, based on the Steve’s Guide at Hostal La Campana, which is located on the Spanish side […]
Europe 1992 – Jessica’s Hungarian Birthday, Part Two
Leaving Vienna behind, we embarked for Budapest on a gloomy overcast day. I was under the weather and so Joanna did the lion’s share of the driving that day. It’s important to remember that for the next week or more, we’d be traveling through areas formerly under communist control, and that tourist related services we […]
Europe 1992 – Jessica’s Hungarian Birthday, Part One

In those intervening years: I returned to working at ASUCLA, We purchased the Wade Street house from my parents, Jessica was born in 1988, One day while I was making copies at ASUCLA Margaret Snow tapped me on the shoulder and advised me to keep […]
