A Great Time in an Iconic City
The Greyhound bus from Vancouver to Seattle took about 6 hours. The boarder crossing into the USA was a bit intense: They took our fingerprints, photographed us, and asked us why we were going to Seattle. I told the customs officer, perhaps too ...
Last night in Seattle
... a bizarre state of affairs it turns out that they live in Berkhamsted! What a small world! They were stopping in Seattle for a couple of nights before heading up to Anchorage for a mini-cruise and trip to Denali National Park. We chatted ...
We're Back, Jack
A 50-hour trip, it was. 9 PM and we're finally home. Jack's ready for some feathers play but Alex is still sulking. We sort out the food and divide it up. Here, you take the corn nuts (phew I hate that smell!). I'll keep the Cheezits. Matt brought ...
The first hitch
... in. So a catch up on itinerary- I am in down town Seattle until Wednesday and then in the sticks (a small town outside of Seattle) for a week after that. I was challenged in church today, and so I might also report on a bit of that sometime soon. ...
Discovery Park
... , but we were really blessed by not having to cancel any of our planned outdoor activities. (We saw a great T-shirt that said "Seattle Rain Festival, Jan. 1-Dec. 31") Anyway, the beach and the Puget Sound were gorgeous and the little lighthouse right at ...

Just wanted you all to have a chance to see how this works and decide if you want to get mail when I create one of these entries. We'll be leaving on Friday to go to Big Sur for a weekend get-together with Dana's family. On Monday we fly to the Big ...
The last roll of TP
What is up with the last 1%? Anyone who has gone through a move or some major packing lately you know what I mean. At some point you look around and think, yes awesome! We are nearly there! The walls are bare, the cupboards are bare, ...
Cows have fun in the sun on the beach too
... We did think about going for another boat tour but that was of very short duration. So that meant it was back on the interstate towards Seattle. This was 5 hours or so of rather boring driving although Irene did see a car on fire and I saw a water bomber ...
Howdy...
... to Canada in the American city of Seattle, Kurt Cobain's hometown. To be fair, the fact that a return flight to Seattle was over a hundred pounds cheaper than to nearby Vancouver was the overriding factor, but the Nirvana theory sounds better... It ...
Right Speech
I want to THANK my friends and family for their support and well-wishes on Thursday night. Thank you to the people who saw the article in the Calgary Herald and came to support the work of PRIA and future education possibilities for people in India. ...
Seattle - home of the geek
... could tuck yourself into you own little world at night. Unfortunately it was also in a really noisy area so the earplugs were neccessary! Seattle does win at having the best museum in America. It is two museums in one building - the first is a Science ...
Home again, home again
So it's a little past six a.m. on Sunday morning and I've been up for a couple of hours reading and catching up on email. It's wonderful to be home, to see Lindsay. What a trip. A whirlwind, no doubt. And terrific travel companions as well. You learn ...
Starting Out
So, being crazy, we started on our road trip at 8:40PM on Sunday night . We set out into the night on our three week tour of the Northeastern USA in Sigrid's Kia Sportage. We made it three hours before both of us decided it was unsafe for us to drive ...

Hells bells
So, OK, the facts are in. I have analyzed and strategized and argued with myself, but in truth, I am not physically able to make the trip to Africa. Hells bells, I say. All those 2:30 AM flights and toting my own bags and dust and heat would be too much ...
bye bye usa!
Firstly... i would like to pay me respects to the legendary steve irwin, i was so shocked to hear he'd died... let's never forget his catchy phrases like 'crikey' and 'isn't she a beauty!' soooooooooooooooooo, 2nd of all i just wanna say a MASSIVE ...
I miss my Cambodian Friends
I am home. It is cold and rainy. The winds cuts down to my bones. I miss my Cambodian friends. Will I ever see them again? Cambodia has planted a seed of peace and happiness in my ...
The Focked Off family!
... slight mistake by our travel agent in Canada resulted in us obtaining a five seater not a seven seater for our journey. We left Seattle a little upset but once we had managed to find places for all our luggage (it is amazing how you can squeeze things ...
Alaskan Sojourn - The Inside Passage
... during the gold rushes. As I was to learn on the hilarious, and highly recommended, Underground Tour at Pioneer Square, Seattle was a buzzing ground for entrepreneurship, not to mention scams a-plenty, to help "equip" the hapless miners heading for ...
Joking on the phone on my day of arrival my ...
... to find it throwing it down yesterday morning. After finding the library I had a quick look in the Lonely Planet guidebook for Seattle. Apparently they have 55 days of unmolested sunshine a year, the other 310 days have some form of fog, mist or ...
Night before departure
We are packed and ready to go. It has been a long day for me. I went in to work today, then spent the rest of the day packing and running errands in preparation for the trip. My bags are quite light compared to the India trip. I brought too much water ...
Thames to stern
Ended up chatting at the barb with a London couple out on the town until it was time for dinner at the hotel's River Restaurant. I went for the four course tasting menu: Scottish beef carpaccio with matrons glades, celeriac remoulade and preserved ...

Our journey is about to begin and we can't wait to land in Sierra Leone on Saturday ...
Arrive Seattle
... We missed our connection in San Fran due to customs issues (I had to renounce me residency which took ages). Finally arrived in Seattle at 7:30pm (was supposed to be there at 3pm). Had a quick dinner with Jason's parents and brother before going to ...
