Travel Blogs from Bakersfield, United States
A week with family in the Central Valley
This is a top pick! I left San Francisco and took the 'Amtrak' train over to my sisters house at Bakersfield in the Central Valley of California. The trains in America are very comfortable but also very slow.. and my journey was delayed even further ...
Good Morning Bakersfield
This is a top pick! "Good Morning Bakersfield" is the greeting from the weatherman here - and nearly every day is hot and sunny! I arrived here in the early hours of Friday morning to spend a few days with my sister Michelle and her husband Austin, the children Bethany, ...
Addicted to Downton Abbey
My husband, Dale, and I have been completely immersed in all things "Downton Abbey". He was still working last year when Season 1 aired so I watched it alone, hooked. Just before Season 2 started in January our Public Television station aired season 1 ...
Day 50 Flat out
... larger grove of those large trees, the Giant Sequoias. We drove past Fresno, and ended up staying the night in Bakersfield, CA. Apparently it is California's largest oil producer, and the 4th largest agricultural producing county in the US. Judging ...
on the way to Death Valley
... ; Fortunately I had planned for just such a thing – and knew that Lake Isabella in the Sequoia National Forest east of Bakersfield made for a convenient stop at around 300 miles. Lake Isabella is perched deep in the Sequoia area and the road follows ...
Preparation for China/Japan 3
Just when I thought things were under control! I told my brother Mike that we needed to get our visa for China and we had a plan. I'd download the form, leave it at my mom's this next week, Mike would fill it out over next weekend and ...
2 Trips 1 Week
Geez, so now that we are planning to go to New Mexico next week, yes next week, I realized that our San Francisco trip will make things really crazy. We were not planning to go to the Fancy Foods Expo this year but then our sons asked if we'd drive the ...
Countdown - 5 Days
I wanted to get an external drive to save my photos on but they are way too expensive since I haven't been working lately. I saw memory cards like mine at Costco and decided that just having several cards might just be the way to go. I went to ...
Pots from Picuris Pueblo
Many years ago I was in New Mexico and stopped at a shop for coffee, I ended up buying a bowl, about 900 years old. It had been broken and glued together so it didn't cost much, maybe $40.00. That was the beginning of my antiquities collection. Now there ...
Revised itinerary
For those of you who are following this trip here is the itinerary Nate just sent. Youngzhou is not on this because it would take too much travel time to get to and from. 16 x Arrive in PRC/ tiananmen Beijing 17 Jade ...
A long stay in Bakersfield
... , on the other hand, Jeff will appreciate being able to walk around the house without any clothes on. I finally left Bakersfield on Sunday, 4/25. Tracy picked me up on her way back home from visiting her parents in ...
Preparing for Music in Europe
About 20 years ago we took our 3 pre-teen boys to Dorothy Chandler, The Music Center, to hear Vivaldi's "The 4 Seasons". We went to the lecture before the concert where the conductor played music which had actually been recorded at a historic music hall. ...
Working out
As my husband and I were working out at the gym today I started thinking that I'd better get in a few extra workouts before heading off to China. I'll be hauling my camera and tripod along in a backpack up the Great Wall and around the country. I ...
Downtown Bakersfield (again)
Another "day off" from our trek around the West, sampling the delights of Bakersfield (and a couple more sandwiches from our favourite sandwich shop in America). I don't think that they're especially healthy, but at least mentally I feel like that I'm not ...
Preparing for Living Abroad
We have thought for some time that we'd like to live in other places for a time. We'd originally thought we'd live away for a year at a time but now have reconsidered that. We think that our grandkids wouldn't be able to visit more than once and my mom ...
The Itinerary
Got our itinerary today: May 15- Leave LAX May 16- Arrive in PEK. Check in to , visit Tiananmen Square and go out to dinner. May 17- Forbidden City, Jade Market, Old Summer Palace (if time allows) May 18- car to Great Wall, night at ...
Another trip to the Embassy
Today was another trip to the Chinese embassy in L.A., but this time for Nate. I'd checked the website and there was nothing on there regarding the declaration required. We decided that there was a chance that the Chinese had dropped that requirement so ...
Airport Security that Isn't So Secure
I'm assuming that most of the blog readers have flown, some many times but most have been thru security on more than one occasion. So we all know how very important it is to have our shoes and limited amounts of liquids checked, oh so thoroughly! I ...
Saving the Frequent Flyer Miles
... husband. Since he has nearly enough miles for a free ticket we decided that we didn't want to lose the miles. First I got into the United site and started looking at flights to San Francisco; we could make a quick trip up to our son’s plus see our 2 ...
The worlds largest ghost town
... is supposed to be famous for it's country music scene, second only to Nashville. We were only spending one night in Bakersfield on our way to Yosemite. We were looking forward to a fairly lively night though, and although country music isn't totally ...
Home Today, Gone Tomorrow
After driving all morning we arrived back home this afternoon. Got to talk to the neighbors about the local happenings. The lawn is looking sad, overgrown and brown, I'm sure our local watchdog is not very happy with us. Oh well I clean up next week. For ...
Beatty - Bakersfield
... . After raiding one of the many pills and potions from our first aid kit I was restored to full health. En route to Bakersfield, we passed through a different section of Death Valley than yesterday, seeing several miles of sand dunes. We got out of the ...
Earthquake Claims in Virginia?
The call came asking for if I could work earthquake claims in Virginia; Virginia? The earthquake was only a 5.8 and who has earthquake insurance in Virginia? I'd heard about the earthquake but hadn’t paid any attention as we "Californians" sleep ...
Catastrophe "Cat" Adjusting
Some time ago I wrote about working claims as a "cat" adjuster. When I wrote this I was completely out of sorts needing to get back to work ASAP and having mixed feelings about all of this. That time, I doubt that I even made myself clear; My Bad! First, ...
Prepping for the Trekking
As I wrote yesterday I was going to the gym today working toward getting ready for trekking in China. I did put weights in my lightweight backpack, the one I carry every day instead of a purse, and went off to the gym. I got to ...
It's a Go
This trip is like a roller coaster ride but it seems like so many things can go wrong even at the last minute. Yesterday morning I checked the CDC and researched China swine flu where I found that the Chinese closed down an entire hotel in Hong Kong ...
Bakersfield Downtown
... it does make most of these towns feel fairly soulless and that once you've seen one of these towns, you've seen them all. Bakersfield is not really any different this regard, which is not to say that it isn't pleasant enough. It seems to be full of ...
Bakersfield, California
... our people never get to enjoy the benefits of the advantages they produce. I had intended to stay overnight in Bakersfield. Surely the large Mexican population would guarantee I could dine at an authentic Mexican cantina-restaurant. But the radio news ...
The Annual Grandkids Trip
So having been home for a few weeks it is now time to start major planning on our upcoming road trip as we leave on Sat. Talk about putting things off until the last minute. Last year on our way home from Alaska a wheel bearing burned up and Dale patched ...
Preparation for China Part 4
We had to go to Santa Barbara to take grand kids home on Sunday night so Nate and I thought that it would be a good time to start the final plans for the China trip which is only a month away. Nate put our trip mostly together while I sat there; ...
