DESPITE EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY, we are not big fans of cruises. We generally take them as alternative transportation to flying or in order to reach out-of-the-way islands. Nevertheless, we’re off again, this time from San Francisco to Sydney ... Read more >

So today was the day to pick up the car and drive to Oban. I was dreading it and I guess I wasn't wrong. We woke up early and o had a big granola and yogurt breakfast before we loaded up Christine's car and drove to Perth to pick up the car.

We woke up early in Leith because we needed to get out of the AirBnB by 10 am and we needed to catch a train. I convinced Jared and my Mom not to take a cab so that we could take the hop on and hop off bus again as our ticket was good for 24 hours and ... Read more >

We slept and slept - my travel companions were un rousable until 3 pm!!! I was getting annoyed since it was our last full day. Mom didn't want to go anywhere and just stay in the AirBnB - I couldn't tell if Jared cared.

Well....today was a mixed bag to say the least.

THE WEATHER IN SKAGWAY WAS TERRIBLE; cold, windy and wet. We have been in Skagway several times, even camped for a few nights, so no biggie. Nevertheless, we went ashore to stretch our legs and see what had changed.

Well...it wasn't really a first day...
We flew to Boston where Jared bought snacks and I got clam chowder from Legals. We also order a wheelchair for mom - which - no one told me would be really, really hard to push between terminals. It was a slog.... Read more >

ENEN A BEHEMOTH LIKE NIEUW AMSTERDAM starts to rock-and-roll in 25-knot winds and ten-foot seas. Landlubbers to the core, both Connie and I awoke during the night from the constant motion but we waited until morning to stick a motion-sickness patch behind ... Read more >
