Gracey: Turkey day 1

Will this be a sleepless night?

First Leg now complete...
As this was Audie's first flight, I took a picture of her at the Grand Rapids International Airport. I was able to make it through the metal detector without the lead in my arse setting it off! My next fear was that due to the quantity of ...
Home Sweet Home
This morning we turned the car in and checked-in for our flight to Cincinnati. I couldn't help hoping we'd be upgraded again - one doesn't get quickly accustomed to it - but it was not to be this time. The flight was around eight hours long, and the ...
Still waiting for loose ends to tighten!
Jamie--Today I got some wick-away shorts and underwear. Once my socks arrive I'll be able to finish the clothing packing. All my other ordered equipment should be here by the end of the week, cross my legs, arms and fingers!!! Still ...
There's no place like home, there's no place...
The trip home today went without incident. The flight left shortly before noon, and was a non-stop to Cincinnati. I slept several hours for which I was thankful. We arrived half an hour early, at 2:30 after an 8 ½ hour flight. Marjolaine was waiting ...

Family: At the Airport

Long, Almost Lost Vdeos
I am trying to attach the videos I tried so many times before on what I though was highspeed - I hope it works. The first is of the street sounds in Kathmandu fairly late at night and the second is in Biratnagar when I first arrived and staying in a ...
Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
Unfortunately, my trip has come to an end. I arrived back in Cincinnati, both excited (to be home for Christmas) and sad (to be joining the real world again). Being on vacation for 3 months really slowed me down, so it's not going to be easy ...
How to load the bike!
Jamie--Tonight I'm sitting here thinking about what I could remove from my packed bag and what should be added to it. I decided my trike cover was too bulky to take with me, so I'm going to bring a small blue tarp--the kind with ropes built into ...
i love it when a plan comes together
Jamie--Today my beaded seat cover arrived; I also got notification that two of my other orders are targeted to arrive on Friday. The cooler rack (and cooler) will probably have to be left behind, because I can't get it mounted to the hitch ...
Things are falling into place!!!
Jamie--Today I contacted financial institutions to let them know that I'll be traveling; I also contacted those companies from which I'm expecting orders--two are expected by mid week, the other two have not yet responded. Wayne finally let me know ...
