Comfort Inn University District Spokane

Here I am trying to pack for yet another trip. Everything out ready to put 1/2 back....then another 1/2 back in a day or so. The good news is that we have really no restrictions on weight (other than the standard 2-bags at 50lbs each) and neither Southwest nor Mexicana is charging for baggage. No way I'll need that baggage limitation but I still worry about having to carry the stuff around!<br ...

Finally got the truck back, all fixed and running beautifully. Decided to get on the road, though it was already 2 pm. Headed south along Flathead Lake through green forests and valleys to I-90, then west, west, west. All uphill, what a climb, to Coeur d'Alene in Idaho, then downhill into Washington State. Spent almost two hours trying to find Riverside State Park in the city of Spokane, finally set up the camper and tried to settle down for the night.

... and to thank the veterans at the fair and finally that we should show our support by singing the &#8220;Star Spangled Banner" and with that a recorded version of America&#8217;s national anthem shook through the speakers with such tear-jerking emotion that  everyone around us (with exception to those unable to and the Priest family) stood and placed their hands on their hearts and belted along with our 'Whitney Houston&#8221; singer.  Now I think it is fair to say you cannot ...

... cleansed with a basil and lime sorbet (to die for), trout and fennel, shredded beef and a cheese dish which incorporated a fusion of blue cheese with other cheeses.  All the bread accompanying the meal, pastries and desserts were all prepared and not one item frozen.  The wine was from Washington.    As I sit here I am finding it hard to remember all the ingredients and really annoyed that I did not write it down.  A memorable meal and we are only ...

... rakes for clearing the bunkers! I teamed up with Tim to form a Brits team against Rob and Steve &#8211; the Yanks- in a Ryder Cup style four-ball match. Tim and Rob played really well with Steve and I contributing on some holes with the match going down to the last green for me to hole a 6 footer to halve the hole and win the game 1 up. A fantastic game on a gem of a course.

... through the exercise once more (and, truthfully, I'm not sure how much more I can really eliminate and still be comfortable with it). I have also stuffed the day pack I'm using for a carry-on and it weighs 12 lbs. Still too much. Guess first to go is some of the camera equipment. The long lens, the little trick tripod, the battery pack, and maybe one or two of the extra LI-Ion batteries. All that expensive gear not being used is making me ...

... did 'headless' or 'dog-headed' humans stand for in the European imagination? Why was the New World called America and not Columbia? The discussion frame is built by literary and real discovery journeys whose protagonists are mostly Italian. (honestly, i'm not even going to pretend that i know what is going on here....i think i just read something about the symbolism of headless dogs, but i will just go ahead and chalk that up to heat exhaustion.)

Spokane! We actually made it! After some confusing twists and turn arounds, we made our way to the bus station. And you know what? We beat him! We actually arrived about 10 minutes before his bus did. And there was no time wasted. When he ...
