Wednesday we drove north to Everett to visit the Boeing. We took a tour of the 472 million cubic foot plant. Well, not exactly... we saw two sections of it. It's amazing to see how many planes are inside and how the process all comes together. We saw the new 787 Dreamliners being assembled. And we saw the Dream Lifter - a modified aircraft that can ...

Well, another oil change and a new front tire. Skagit Valley Polaris folks couldn't be nicer. My, how the money flies. Hard to believe the big fella is over 13,000 mi old now. Ran an errand in Bellingham and now riding south along the coast (Chuckanut Dr and Rte 11 - ah, the evergreen scent) to Anacortes. The road is glorious with twisties ...

... hike back and simultaneously agreed "at least it is down hill most of this way!

Firstly Rick had to check the "type of envelope required to send to Aus priority post, no problem he was handed a ...

... Killer Whale" I expected something huge and ferocious. They were compact and looked like they were smiling. We were fortunate to spot a few more Orcas along they way. Near the end of the third night on board, the lights of Vancouver appeared in the distance. Soon more signs of civilization popcorned into sight. Although I felt happy that I was getting off the ship and could get Keesha to a patch of grass, I also felt sad ...

... s Day and we hadn't gotten them anything. Mike called wondering if we were lost, and I told him we were filling up with gas (even though we were really signing a giant Valentine's Day card in the gas station). The attendent even humored me after I asked her to tag the ****** little box of chocolates with a $19.99 price tag. After a fantastic supper in their kitchen, a wonderful sleep in Patrick's bed, and a well received ...

23 July 06 - 31 July 06 After another one of these neverending trip (14 hours flight in 4 planes + layovers), we finally arrived to the US to spend some time with Melissa's aunt and uncle, Carole and Dick. Busy week! We visited downtown Bellingham, took 2 trips to Canada (Vancouver and Vancouver island), hiked the ...

... with us. I then took the two tires not on the ground to a tire dealer. He quickly agreed that they were not safe or even worth patching. So I bought two new tires and brought them "home" and replaced the two original tires still on the trailer, both of which showed signs of extreme wear and beginning tread separation. The good news is that we have four new tires under the trailer and two spares that I hope we do not need for our journey home. The ...

... up at our staff accom and told them about our adventures. Ahh the first of many adventures... life is great.

I can go explore these great places all over the world and I can always come home, now that's a wonderful feeling.
