Back from the road trip.  What an amazing journey.  Tiring, but otherwise excellent, especially the company I kept the week of the 13th through the 19th.  I'm missing two people very much right now ( Read more... )

So a few months ago I mentioned a road trip to Canada.  Well...it's expanded a bit since then.  See, I didn't want to just try to drive straight up there (because I'm not entirely crazy) so I thought I'd stop in Washington, DC and Boston along the way.  And then I got to thinking about the drive back and what else I might do.  And then, heck, why ( Read more... )

I've been slacking all day, but I thought I'd give an update here ( Read more... )

For those of you who haven't heard, I'm back from Mexico.  The trip was fantastic and I took about 1000 pictures.  Literally.  No, really, it was just over 1000 ( Read more... )

Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes.  Off to sleep now...to awaken at 6am.  Why so early?  I'm heading off to the airport to catch a flight to Cancun, Mexico where I will then transfer to Isla Mujeres and on the following day to Isla Holbox.  This is all part of the Aquarium's eco-tour that I decided I wanted to be a part of.  Swimming with ( Read more... )

Ok, so it's been more than two weeks since I got back and I've probably forgotten most of the really great stories anyway.  Nevermind that!  I promised a recounting of my trip and here it is.  I'm including some pictures, but nowhere near as many as I took.  Most of the ones worth looking at are in the Gallery and if you want to see the rest it can ( Read more... )

Just about ready to go on the trip.  Final things to do: laundry, pack, arise way-too-f-ing-early.  And the next couple of days are going to be packed.  Monday nights are my usual hangouts with the MM crew and Tuesday I'm going to see Transformers.  I'm attending the 9:10pm showing at the Regal Hollywood 24.  Anyone else is invited if you care to ( Read more... )

I'm feeling a bit of wanderlust and need a destination.  I'd like to stick to domestic travel, preferably the continental US, but other than that I'm open to any suggestions.  Where's good to go around the first week of August or thereabouts?
