Roads and Destinations are Chosen!
This is a top pick! I was able to use this weekend to hours and hours of planning for the trip. It is amazing how long it takes! It is one thing to decide on the places I want to visit and then I need to select roads. I need to decide on the quickest road ...
Photo madness
This is a top pick! I went to Wolf Camera today and spent over six hours in their store working on my digital pictures. I editied each one on the computer and then uploaded them to their processing computer. All told I had over 1,000 digital pictures and roughly ...
Planning - Organized Spontaneity
This is a top pick! I thought I would try something different in this travelogue. Of course when you think back on a trip, you think back on the trip. Despite all the planning that went in to it, you don't seem to remember that part! Actually, I try to ...
Getting ready for departure!
Wow! Time go fast. Its is almost time for departure. I am getting ready, but with this new airport rules things goes in and out of my suitcase and back. I think I am so exited by now that it will be a little difficult to sleep tonight. I have to ...

Inca histroy lesson
The trip is still a couple of months away, but I wanted to establish a good knowledge of the Incan culture before I arrive. Here is what I have learned so far: The Inca Empire, the Empire of the Sun, flourished in South America between ...
Hartell's Village Diner
Hartell's Village Diner - Awesome bacon cheese burger (replace the texas toast with a bun & add cheese for the best!) & $1 PBR Pints! Can't beat ...
Happy New Year
Diana and I began our New Year's celebration with some cheese and wine at home. At 10PM we arrived to one of our favorite Italian restaurants...Massimos. It was a fixed meal with seemingly endless delicious courses. The restaurant was ...
33rd birthday
I had an enjoyable 33rd birthday. I started the day by going to work. Lourdes announced on the morning announcements that "Mr. Skopit was celebrating his 21st birthday." At around 5PM I headed over to the grand opening of the Grape ...
Last day of school!!
Today was the last day of school and an end to my 4th year at Lakeside and 11th year as a ...
Travel Crystal Ball
Since this is the very fist day of a new year I thought it would be fun to write down my year's expectations and then look back to see how much I have accomplished. As it is shaping up right now, 2008 looks to be an exciting year for international ...
Life-Just another day at the Beach!
Spent another beautiful couple hours just lazing around on a white sand beach! Then, a great dinner at Pompano Joe's beachside restaurant! ...
Arrived!
We managed to make it. Always amazing when a 12 hour drive goes without incident. Kids relaxing, condo good, and we're about to head to pools and stuff. More later. Dusk beach going is the best. The crowds have moved on and only those true sand ...
Lazer days
I wake up with sand in my nose and salt in my throat. I've eaten way too much. The last two days have been repeats; lots of lazer tag and glow in the dark mini golf. Sunny mornings have made for beach time followed by indoor stuff after the rain ...
Prior to our Alaskan Cruise
Well I thought this day would never get here. After ordering our PassPorts back in April I had not idea it would take this long but low and behold it arrived on Sat in the Mail. So David and I or set for our Alaskan Cruise. This was the ...
Lazy? Day
I must be getting old. Or I'm getting dehydrated. Either way, I'm pooping out about 8pm. Yikes. Rain again it not enough to keep us away from the beach. Winds made for some Big waves, which we all decided to brave. I think I got my workout for the ...
Tupac & JFK are homies. Duh!
Before we got to the Verizon Store, Lexa had to stop at her doctor's briefly. So I stayed in the car listening to Be My Lover (badadadibadadaduh). Tati (on the phone) and I went off on a tangent about Tupac when the next song was ...
Destin finally
Managed to make it here after two horrendous road trips. Everything that could get stuck on the highway did. But here we are. It is a little cool this time but the each is always beautiful. Last night gave us a crazy rain storm but today is sunny. ...
Thank God for the Internet
I have been surfing, copying and pasting for the last 3 hours in planning this trip! What did we do before the internet? Next step is to put together an itinerary for each day, with 1 'must-see' per day. Of course ...
Sleepy
I sit waiting for the kids to fall asleep...which they may have already done. Busy days make for quick bedtimes. Nighttime beach going still good tonight, although a touch windier than last night. This is ok though, because it makes for great noise on ...
Bronchitis
With only a week away from flying out to Seattle to start our Dream Vacation, what do I come down with but BRONCHITIS!!!. Not a very happy traveler-to-be am I. Went to the Dr. on Fri and hope to God that by the time we leave on Thur the 6th ...
The rain in Spain falls mainly in the ocean
Yeah ok still in destin, but rain doesn't rhyme with destin. Awakened this morning by thunder and big rain, which really is not something I fret over at the beach. After all, we come here to get wet, don't we? downpours at the beach are just cooler than ...
Hurricane Wilma strikes
After boarding up our home, Diana and I bunkered in. The storm hit in the middle of the night and woke us up by threatening to rip our roof off. The wind was ferocious. When we woke up on the 23rd we could see the devastation caused. ...
Walked about a mile
Since I was about only 5/2 of a mile from home, I merely walked up 27th Ave/University Drive into Miramar and my mom picked me up about a mile of walking down the road with ...
End of the road
Did I mention already how much I like snorkeling? Well Justin case...I do like snorkeling. Today was great water for it, even though there wasn't much to see. Seemed like all the fish want to stay near the shallows and bump into our legs. Dumb fish. ...
