COCOA BEACH HAD THE RIGHT STUFF back in the 60s—but we all had it back then, didn't we? Cocoa was a company town—and the company was NASA. It was famous for Astronauts, surfing, beach babes-in-bikinis and as the setting for I ... Read more >

A few days ago, a lovely lady named Chonita showed me a video of her at the controls of a small Cessna aircraft over the Great Barrier Reef, and said "Oh my, you've just inspired me." The other day I was the first customer at Le Shack in Airlie Beach, ... Read more >

WE HAVE BEEN IN FLORIDA FOR A WEEK and yesterday was the first time the weather was good enough to go to the beach. Connie has been out walking every day, of course, but she is like the Post Office used to be—neither rain, nor snow. . . .... Read more >

IT WAS TIME FOR A CHANGE. A change of scenery. A change of season. A change in weather. And most of all, a change in attitude. We never thought we would be glad to leave Colorado, but there it is—six Covid-imposed ... Read more >

Our explorations of Timisoara this weekend took us down to the Bega River and south of the city to wander around the Fabric District. The Bega River that flows through the city is actually a man-made canal which diverted flood water from the Bega River ... Read more >

THE CALENDAR MAY SAY THAT AUTUMN has arrived but, despite the recent dusting of snow, it is still summery here in the Mile High City. It’s a different story along the Colorado Trail near Kenosha Pass, fifty miles west and another mile higher ... Read more >

I love Australia, plain and simple! COVID-19 hasn't exactly wrecked all of my travel plans; it's just placed them on the back burner. If things were normal, I'd be in Russia or somewhere in Europe at the moment. Despite the disaster of a year 2020 has ... Read more >

Day 1
The Avanti West Coast zoomed from Euston to Edinburgh Waverly, every tilt synonymous with a turn in my stomach. Sydney, my friend from UEA and I were going on our second trip; the first being Budapest in 2017. The 5.5 hour-long train ... Read more >

This weekend we thought we would venture south of the river and explore a different area of town. Our focus for the afternoon was to find the Communist Consumer Museum which I had read about and sounded intriguing. We wandered down into town through ... Read more >

THE BRITS CALL THEM JABS—vaccinations, flu shots and the like. So while the country waits for the sometime-in-the-future Covid-19 vaccine, Connie and I got the 2020 model flu shot at Walgreens. Not only was it covered by Medicare, Walgreens ... Read more >
