Hace menos de un mes me tocó la última radiografía, baciloscopía y examen de sangre del tratamiento contra la tuberculosis. Esto de manera preventiva. Es extraño. Si bien sabía desde antes del día de ... Read more >

Riding our bicycles through these areas for 2-3 days left me in a state of shock...disbelieve! Seven ... Read more >

Ok, really, we are going to leave the USA, I promise!

At the Miami airport:
Smooth “sailing” with a few speed bumps, like having to wrap - and pay for - each peace of luggage (except the bike boxes)
in blue nasty plastic, arguing with the nice woman at the ... Read more >

WE ARE GETTING PRETTY COMFORTABLE USING UBER. As simple as the ap is, it’s still a little foreign to old farts like me. But we successfully took Uber from Seattle’s Union Station to SeaTac, where we rented a car, then drove to ... Read more >
NEW ZEALAND | Wed, 10 Oct 2018 | By kiwiaoraki | Views [440] | Comments [1]
New Zealand is such a gorgeous place, and that's part of why it's my favourite country. I love tramping (hiking, to you folk from the rest of the world) and I've done many fabulous walks both in NZ and elsewhere. My favourite walk in all of NZ is the ... Read more >
NORWAY | Mon, 10 Dec 2018 | By kiwiaoraki | Views [160] | Comments [1]
For much of this trip I was dreading having to spend time in Oslo. The Norwegian capital just doesn't stand out the same way as London, Rome, or Vienna. People travel to France just to go to Paris and to the Netherlands to go to Amsterdam but you'd be ... Read more >

HOLLYWOOD BECKONED AND WE COULDN’T RESIST — even though I admit I didn’t know half of the starred names on the Walk of Fame. But first we had to stop at the Frank Gehry designed Walt Disney Concert Hall. Gehry, you may ... Read more >

YOU CAN SEE THE BEST OF AMERICA ON AMTRAK. And some of the worst, too. The Rockies, the California Coast and the Cascades are beautiful. Likewise Union Stations in both Denver and LA. Unfortunately you must enter the cities through ... Read more >

We left Sarasota and our dear friends Erika and Achim ...they rode us out of town for a while on the Legacy Trail to Venice:
Not too far down the road, when it was just James and I again for a few miles, one of us realized we left ... Read more >

WE GOT A GOOD DEAL ON THE RV AND TRUCK — I traded them for five magic beans. Only kidding! And we hope there isn’t going to be a giant in our future. Like Jack, we are setting off on another adventure, one without a beanstalk ... Read more >

WE GOT PLENTY OF NUTHIN’ And nuthin’s plenty for us! We sold the truck on Wednesday and Jim collected the RV this morning. We watched as our home for the last 3 ½ years drove away. We have eaten — ... Read more >

IT SEEMS LIKE BOBBY BURNS WAS THINKING of us the past few days when he wrote “The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft a-gley.” After driving 400 miles from Denver to Rapid City to renew our drivers licenses — they ... Read more >

COMPARED TO TRAVEL TICKETING SITES like kayak and orbitz, Amtrak is woefully lacking. There are only a handful of trains but there are few routing options. They don’t provide a map or even list the intermediate stops. Which explains ... Read more >

April 15th - 18th of April
Patterson, Kemper Williams Park
Peaceful!
A campground for $18. We never spend that much money to pitch our tent, but then, we were here because James felt poorly on that bumpy road what would not leave him ... Read more >

Florida!
Land of the swamps, snakes and alligators, but also of the soft, warm air (at least in May...), the gentle rain, the extreme downpours, the thunderstorms, the lush, tropical greenery and the warm turquoise sea.
During several of our ... Read more >

THE LATE MAY SNOW SHOULDN’T HAVE SURPRISED US. We’ve lived in Colorado long enough to know not to count winter out until June. But the cold and dreary weather did catch us unawares — we were wearing shorts last week —... Read more >

WE’RE ONE STEP NEARER TO LEAVING. Jim from Colorado Springs gave us a deposit on the RV, we can live in it until 30 June — and the check cleared — so that’s a burden lifted. We still have the F-150 but we have offers ... Read more >

WITH ALL THE GOOD RESTAURANTS IN THE DENVER AREA, we still chose the Morrison Inn for John’s birthday meal. For years the Inn was a dive well-known to the Sunday Harley crowd for its over-sized margaritas. As the town became more ... Read more >

Weeks ago I asked the Northern Lights on a date, and she accepted. However, she (the aurora) and the weather have both been, respectively, flaky and annoying. Three nights already I've been in the north of Scandinavia, and for three nights, no date with ... Read more >

Ulan-Ude
Our first surprise came when the taxi driver who picked us up from the train station didn’t take us to the hotel I had booked through booking.com, but to another one. I kept trying to show him the paper with the reservation, ... Read more >
