Comfort Inn Southwest Lakewood

When I sold my house, several curious friends wondered if would be able to live off the proceeds for the rest of my life. Of course, I would reply, provided I don't live too long! <br><br>Of course, money is not the only issue in traveling. I wondered if/when I would tire of moving around, not having a home, miss my friends and kids, miss the USA...But meanwhile I had a long list of things I wanted to see and do and ...

... I was in bed by 1130. It might sound low key but it was an enjoyable day with unexpected adventures and reunions.<br><br>The sun rose on Day 7 amidst a fresh layer of snow (doesn't that sound poetic....). Apparently the snow through the night still hadn't stopped at our next destination so we were marooned one more day. As I've already mentioned, in the short time I got to spend in Boulder I quickly became enamored with the town ...

... appear when you most need it for meals, cold drinks, or a quick shower to cool yourself off. <br>Days 6-7 Luxor (2B)<br>Explore Luxor and its surrounding highlights, such as Karnak Temple and the Luxor Museum. Ride a donkey "Egyptian style" to the West Bank and visit the incredible Valley of the Kings. <br>Day 8 Cairo (B)<br>Returning to Cairo by plane on the morning of our final day, our tour concludes on arrival at Cairo International Airport. <br clear="all">

... streaming, by the way, is a great way to end up wasting time that was never intended to be wasted. For dinner we checked out Jax, a local seafood restaurant. Turns out one of the exec chefs just won Top Chef. Exciting, and regardless of recent, popular accolades the food was delicious enough to stand on its own without a TC title.<br><br>Basically Boulder is awesome and I can easily see how people come out here and never leave! Two more days til we hit the road again.<br>

Linda and I are addicted. We generally can make it to 4 or 5 in the afternoon but in the past few weeks it seems to have gotten more intense and we've indulged in our addiction earlier in the day, and, once, in the morning. Like all addicts, we convince ourselves that it doesn't interfere with our lives, we're in control, we can stop any time...HA! No, it has become clear that dominoes rule our lives. And although dominoes seems ...

... wird dich danken!<br><br>So wir haben gegessen, geredet und gesungen (sehr laut- wie es sein soll!). Aber das beste ist noch nicht gekommen.<br><br>Mein vater hat am Samstag eine ueberraschungs geburtstagsparty geplant. Er und meine tante Kathleen und meine schwester Holly haben alles zusammen ausgedacht. Was essen wir, wie ueberraschen wir Teresa, usw. Sie haben mich einfach gesagt: Amber, hol das! Amber ...

Arrived in St. George, UT after a loooong day of riding, 590mi/940km. Rode through freezing cold, rain and finally evening desert heat. This is our last overnight stop before returning home. I expect we will be home 1-2pm. This has been quite a week, 10 days, of great riding. I expect the total miles will be around 4000mi/6400km. michaeljensen2@earthlink.net 310.849.2625

We are 18 days from departure. The girls are getting pretty excited. In fact, the only reason that I really know that we have on 18 days until departure, is because Lindsey (my rental daughter) has been counting down since the day she was invited to come along. (Now, hopefully for her, she can keep her Mom very happy and she will really get to go.) We still have some things that need doing ...

I am about to head off to Moab, Utah for some riding. Then I will head to Alaska from there for 5-6 weeks before returning to Colorado in July. At the end of September, 2008, a buddy and I will ride off to South America for 5-6 months. I will start a new ride report for that Alaska-South America trip.

... the heavens opened up half way through the rodeo, the make shift canopy roof we paid $5 each extra to be under split and we all got soaked anyway, and then at the end, we had the 20 mins walk back in the pouring rain.. We were all confused about Mount Rushmore, the Americans we met treated this place more as a shrine, the evening show started with the pledge of allegiance, followed by "god bless america" and ended with the ...
