POD PLANET V: Where you lead I will follow
... but nothing could prepare us for what can best be described as the only city in North America that doesn't have a downtown area. Hartford is nothing more then Hollywood's joke on the rest of the world. It is easily the most boring place I have ever been ...
Gift Card #5: Flat Tire
As we drove from our show in Hartford, CT to our day off in New Jersey, we stopped in Bridgeport, CT, for lunch. We pulled off the highway to go to Quiznos. This was downtown, so we circled the block until we found street parking. We plopped a view ...
Good To Go!
Three weeks and counting.....we have our tickets and passports. We finalized the Egypt portion of our trip today. This past weekend we practiced our horse back riding skills as we have a riding trip around the pyramids planned. This was thanks to our ...

In one week and in one piece
It turns out that comatosing yourself for 14 hours after drinking margaritas and sangria, gives your head quite a muddy feeling... too muddy to worry about the fact that both your passport and wallet are not where they should be, nor could they be found ...
Hartford Stop
Stopped in briefly in Manchester Connecticut to refuel before the all night drive Ripon Wisconsin. We were a bit rushed since we knew it would take 17 to 18 hours to drive to Ripon from CT. We arrived at Marie's sister Linda's house only to find it ...
Greetings from tennessee's great smokey ...
Greetings from Tennessee's Great Smokey Mountains : The day before the Bonnaroo Festival, we picked up our friend Chris who works as a white water rafting guide. I have never done it before, but Jenn has done it one time. So, we went down the Pigeon ...
Hartford Marathon
We returned from New York so that we could watch Linda run in the Hartford Marathon. Marie' Dad, Marie, and Jeff got drenched in the downpour cheering Linda on. Linda did well posting a time of 3 hours and 14 ...

A little rain here & there... but we had another relaxing day in Connecticut. We enjoyed some Margaritas & Mojitos with Lelle in the center of ...
A Few Goodbyes
I said goodbye to two of my very deerest friends this morning. They were returning to our common country to slot back into the nests they've created for themselves. For the rest of us though, we were to await the arrival of our new horse, which ...
And two became one...
We were all instructed to pack and be ready for a 12pm pick-up. Kendras' Parents endless chauffeur service was admirable. I would have cracked days ago. Anyway 2:15pm rolls by and the mini-van arrives. An entourage of representing Aussies pile on and ...
Mile 1030.5: Hartford
... very nice, but very sporadic. It was great, but there was no overarching theme to the park and it was mostly where Hartford places nice pieces altogether. The Memorial Arch was amazing though. It's a piece of architecture that any city would envy. I wish ...
Practice Travel for the Great Western Trip or GWT
... to hurry. This trip we visited the the Mark Twain museum and home and the old State House. Rich, Yankee, Hartford, a hotbed of abolitionist and liberal action. My Roberts relatives came from nearby in Granby/Hartland. That will be ...
Another new state
... to spend a few hours. There's some nice architecture like the old G. Fox building which use to be a nice big old department store... Hartford is also close to Amherst and West Hampshire in Mass - and it was my first time in Massachusetts. Both those are ...
Virginia's cousins
We left New England and drove to Stafford Springs just north of Hartford. Fearing horrendous radio stations we left Great Britain well equipped with over 12,000 tracks kindly loaded onto our i-pod by our AV guru Cliff and his son Bradley (who were at ...

... B&B there), and Cape Cod. When I traveled to Troutbeck in November 1998 I came back through Connecticut but didn't go through Hartford, instead I went through Sharon to New Haven and Yale. This is a really lovely state, more rocks and trees than I ...
Ren and the Big E

Day 23: Cosby Knob to Snowbird Mtn
Howdy ho! Fun tidbit: Many refer to hiking the Appalachian trail as "walking north with spring." A southbound hike is typically walking with fall, the normal itinerary is based on weather and closures of the trail's northern terminus (Baxter State ...
Vietnamese disgrace
I went to go celebrate chinese new year on Febuary 7, 2010. I witness a guy in a Ho Chi Minh hate, and another man named Chinh grabbed him and threw him out of the Chinese New Year celebration. What's wrong with a hat supporting Ho Chi ...
Day 24: Snowbird Mtn to Walnut Mtn
Howdy! Interesting tidbit: The Appalachian trail runs directly through a few towns, the first of which (northbound) is Hot Springs, NC. Hopefully we'll be cruising in tomorrow! Last night was rough, after the gorgeous sunset the winds kicked up. I had ...
Cabin Fever
... the class to death (and took one last STAND CLEAR photo) before we piled into a minivan and were driven 1.5 hours to Hartford (Lewiston is close if you're searching on google earth). Wekeela is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. It's so isolated though (30 minutes to ...
Samuel Clemons & State Capitol # 26
It looks like I've done it again! That's right, gotten behind on my entries. I will keep this brief and just share that we spent 10 days in Connecticut and really didn't get much done. You see, the weather didn't really ...
A day in the life...
My camp has the longest waterfront dock in the entire universe. Imagine how long it took for us to put it together. Bolt by bolt. I smelt like a man for a full week!!! (actually I still do ....that nice combo of grease, boat petrol, rust, sweat and dirty ...
Road Trip!
... of heaven. We needed to stop by one of their stores to pick up the mattress on the way, so we stopped by their E. Hartford, CT location. Now, when I think of CT, I think of madras, people who dress like AnneChris, tennis, and yellow pants ...
