Lochnaiar Inn Bed and Breakfast Racine

This morning, we ate breakfast at The Northland Inn to try to get on the road quicker. We drove through Wisconsin for about 4 hours and were about to get to Madison when we decided to make a detour and head to Milwaukee to see the Harley Davidson Museum. This will add another 2 hours to our trip but since we were on ...

We met at Les' house in Glendale to finish packing. We had a great dinner with some Chilean wine. Wow, tomorrow we will be leaving. I hope that I have a toothbrush. I needed practice posting a photo to this blog. We leave Milwaukee at 12:50 and have a short layover in Atlanta tomorrow. Pam

We had to get to the zoo by 7:00am to make sure that we got registered in enough time. We went over to the Peck Welcome Center for donuts and juice before we boarded the bus at 7:45. The seats are assigned but I think somebody moved our paper before we got there because we could not find our name on any of the seats. We ...

We left early so that we would have enough time to deal with traffic on the way to Chicago. We got held up right by 84th street on 894. We exited the freeway and took 76th street south to the Racine boarder. This was much better. The rest of the way there was not too much traffic. We stopped at the oasis for a Aunt Annies Pretzel before the show.

Hi folks,
We received many emails regarding keeping in touch with us on our journey through Mexico. Currently we are in Zion Illinois for a doctor check up. We have driven to San Antonio from Coeur d' Alene starting out on October 16th. We will be going back to San ...

... pictures again today and will work on the video tomorrow. Dave took a TON of video and did a bunch of interviews, so we'll see what happens with all that.
Thanks for following along with us again; it's always great to have travel companions even if they're "virtual"

:)

Exciting times! One more day before the big trip and we are doing out last minute preparations before we go. There are things to be packed though and that will get done tonight and then a little bit more tomorrow. We have an evening flight so we should be pretty well rested and ready to scout about Copenhagen as soon as we get checked into the hotel.

Stay tuned for more!

This will be a quick post simply because I am looking back on the situation. I was such a mix of emotions before I left for peace corps. It took about a year for my application to be submitted and approved and for everything to be okayed for service. I was working at a job that I didn't really care for but I really liked the people I worked with. So I was ready to go. Often times I would get frustrated because I felt as if I was wasting a year. It ...

A non-profit project I'm working on held a workshop at the Johnson Foundation's Wingspread Conference Center. Wingspread was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the Johnsons of Johnson Wax fame. Later the family had a second home built and donated this (and eventually their other home) to the Foundation to be used for conference space. The Foundation later built a guesthouse to house ...

... a drinking night and that's what I got. I had about 2/3rds of a bottle of wine at dinner and three or four Smithwick's at Moher's. Tiffany and I left the bar around 1:30 am. We WALKED home. On the way we cut through the queens parking lot (where I went to grade school). we got home around two and tried to find a taco bell but all were closed so we settled on mcdonald's. got home around three and crashed.
