The Countdown Begins, 3 Days till Australia
3 Days! That's right, in only 3 days I will be boarding a plane to Australia where I will spend the next 12 months of my life. Everyone I know keeps telling me how exciting it's going to be, how much fun I'm going to have, but to tell the truth I'm ...
Reluctantly I will have to leave the kitchen sink
I admit that I am a ridiculous packer. My bag- to-trip-length ratio is always disproportionate. I always pack too much. When we travel I always make sure that I have enough outfits in case something jumps off. I mean I need to be able to go from business ...
Departing Phoenix
... by Murray, who is betting the 5-2 odds I don't come back. At least the pizza he bought was good. Our flight leaves Phoenix at 8:30 p.m. tonight, followed by layover in LA, a 14-hour flight to Taipei, and a 3-4 hour flight to Phnom Penh, Cambodia. ...
Brewing With Distinction (Brewers)
... since the wide concourses and lawn offer plenty of things to do besides watching the game -Since Maryvale is close to 'downtown' Phoenix, there are plenty of places to visit afterwards -SunUp Brewery is not far off; this micro-brewery is situated ...
We are on our way!

We've managed to leave the country.
Note: This blog is being written a year after the trip. The information I am using is in the form of e-mail's I sent my mother from the trip. Mom's are great. They save ...

Phoenix to Maui
It's my birthday today and I'm heading to Hawaii with my good friend John. I'm excited 'cause I've never been to Hilo and we're really roughin' it. We're staying in hostels 'cause we're budget travelers! Anyway, I'll post more once we get ...
That which we leave behind....
It would seem that a travel blog would really be about travel. The thing is, it seems to me that it also has a lot to do with what you leave at home. If you are on the road, perhaps you have children, or pets, or in my case…a very dependent spouse. ...
First post (not in Europe yet obviously)
Well let's get this thing started. I'm currently in Phoenix for work and will return to Texas on Wednesday. I have so much work to do to prepare for my trip that I'm beginning to freak out a little. I do think I have all my clothing and gear together ...
Phoenix has risen
Just a stop off on the flights before heading up to Canada. Had a fag on the top floor of the carpark (with duty-free tobacco - 1kg for 30 quid!!!) seeing the arid landscape of ...
116 degrees, are you freaking kidding me
... gas and toilet. Got a sandwich in a diner, for once no coffee though. Too hot to enjoy my coffee. Had booked my Phoenix accom last night, I chose the Arizona Grand Resort. Drove though town straight to my hotel. Even though I hadnt travelled far today I ...
Day One - On the plane to Madrid and in Madrid
... down the slope to fear. I've done pretty well staying present and only lost my sunglasses this morning in the airport in Phoenix. Oh yeah, also my English-Spanish dictionary on the plane to Newark or Madrid. Stayin' present....I feel quite tired at ...
Making chocolate pizza at Cerreta's in Phoenix!
... admitted there's not much to their downtown. We finally found a deli to have lunch and it was out of this world! (Best part of Phoenix yet) Chris arrived early from FL around 2:00pm and then we headed back to the RV resort. He couldn't wait for us all ...
We are home
We arrived home late last night, left our suitcases in the hallway and went to bed. It was a great trip, no problems on the way home, but we are tired; slowly unpacking and settling in. Thank you so much to all of you who visited our travels. It was fun ...
New Mexico / Arizona
Just cruised through New Mexico and into Phoenix. Taking a break now in a truck stop. It is freakin hot here. I'm so hot I feel sick. I'm actually hiding from the sun and heat. I'm not getting back on the bike until the sun ...
Every day is a winding road
... flashing about the place in red letters, and two supervisors appeared from nowhere to cart off the offending item. I was flying down to Phoenix to stay with my friend Mary, whom I'd met in Uruguay in December. Arizona was the antidote to a lot of ...
Landed in Phoenix
Landed safely in Phoenix and had a two hour layover. When it was time to board our plane for Los Angeles there was engine trouble and so our flight was rerouted to another available plane in a completely different terminal. 15 minutes of ...
Vegas and Phoenix
... swim in pool. Then it was off to Phoenix to visit the parents of the 2 cousins. Phoenix is currently even hotter than LV. Phoenix has those huge cactuses you see in cartoons. It is also hot (see photo). Over 40. Aunty Pauline made a great sherry ...
The sun city
... told my hubby to stop searching and to go to Phoenix City. If nothing else to see there, we would have seen at least Phoenix main streets ;) The travelguide told us that the science museum would be cool, and that it was a 'must'. So on we went. ...
Dinner with Scott
Today was a day for final preparations for time on the road. It's amazing how quickly things come out of storage! We also availed ourselves of laundry facilities at Scott's apartment, checked out another regional park in the area, and ...
Done already?
... tax, check in, then get in an enormous line to pass through security. Plane ride is a bit turbulent, and there is a loud kid, but mostly uneventful. Back in Phoenix, my honey gives my sore back and shoulders a rub down. It's good to be ...
Last night...
Tonight's the last night at home and it's pizza for dinner. That's the only food I could think of that I'm really going to miss (of course after a few samples of fried crickets I might even miss brussel sprouts!) I'm convinced that everything is ...
49 days and counting
... time, we are now down to 4 hours.. This is NOT an acceptable amount of time for me. What if the flight is delayed? (April, Phoenix to Miami, it shouldn't be but what if?) What if our luggage gets misplaced? What if... well, you get the point. I normally ...
Phoenix
So here we are in Phoenix. We had a brief, but nice visit with my Dad and family. I haven't seen my younger brother, Dillon, for quite a while, so it was good to see him, along with everybody ...
