home...
I'm sure if auto correct had it's way, I'd be "Carlos"... But, again, what I am is car-less... with no promise when that status might change. I am absolutely clear in my understanding that this is a travel blog. I know with total ...
A good hand job
I spent my last day in Mumbai strolling trough the city's tree lined boulevards, exploring fashionable boutiques and marveling the stunning Victorian architecture. Although many facades are on the brink of falling apart, they still manage to stand proud ...
Donna and Jon Combined: Organized AND Clean!
We arrived into Encinitas after leaving HB at 4:30pm -- it was sad to say goodbye to Mom and Dad, but we hope to be back in June for a visit. We took one last drive down PCH to see the ocean and then hopped onto the freeway -- you'd think we'd have ...
I wouldn't have believed you...
If you had told me on May 24, 2012 that when I hit a deer in Texas that I wouldn't get my van back, in working order until August 15th I wouldn't have believed you. The damage just wasn't that bad... to the van. Now if you had told me ...

I never fancied myself a Blogger.....
I'm really not sure of the role of Blogger. It is, I'm sure akin to a friend or just someone near your table at Starbucks that won't shut up about their thoughts, opinions, pontifications and monologues that they think are soooo worthy of ...
Ready for take off- destination Peru

A vision becomes a reality
A couple of months back I was lying on my yoga mat during savasana, the final pose after a practice. I drifted into a deep meditation to the magical tunes of singing metal bowls. I was in a state of complete bliss and, this might sound a bit cheesy, but ...
Final Details
My first taste of real freedom came in and because of my first car. A friend had a 1967 VW Bus which sat, not being driven in his side yard. I was 15 at the time, but would go sit in that car and "drive" it and dream what it would be like to ...
Reclining Nude with an occasional aroma of cattle

Wayne arrives!
... ID was required, which of course we hadn't brought with us! We all had dinner together and then Wayne and I went back to Encinitas while Susan and co enjoyed their night out. I guess we should be flattered to be considered less than 30 (the age that ...
San Diego Zoo
Today we decided to visit San Diego zoo. Although we hadn't initially thought we'd have time to do this, needing the bike to be serviced had provided us with the extra time in San Diego. Tim, Kathy, Wayne and I set off to the zoo just after 8:30 in ...

Packed up and ready to go... LAX - Tokyo - Singapore - Kathmandu. It's going to be a looooong couple of days! ...

Oy - what a trip!
