We will post trip information here as soon as it starts. For 2010, we will continue planning the project and look for Sponsors that are willing to invest and support the Project. All indications in that regard is ...

We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation. The whole experience with Nikki Beach Thailand Resort was awesome and excellent. Our personal caretaker took every possible care for our convenience. The room was breathtaking with spectacular views of the ocean. That hotel is truly exceptional, and the restaurant Nikki Cafe, the bar area and pool bar had excellent service with bartender Garth. If we go back to Turks we would definitely stay here again.

... a spot on the sand away from the kiddies and mullets...pretty good time.

Had a dolphin swim within 15 feet of me, probably due to our perfected dolphin and mermaid calls (I had nothing on Brad and Kat´s--but it worked).

We had no idea what we were getting into.

But this seems to be the only place on earth that serves Busch Beer in bottles--worth the price of admission.

... were flying over the nice clear water.  We pretended that they were helping us find the ring.  They weren't.

Did I mention how nice and clear the water was.

Eventually we decided to come back to the condo and make adult smoothies....

Mmmm.... adult smoothies....

The wedding is soon, we will be barefoot on the beach, not sober, and looking good.  

Go us! 

And GO Bridget and Drew!!!!

I consider them friends
The stars
I learn from them
They are many things
Great listeners
Supporters
Believers
Lovers

They have no secrets
No funny stories
No sad stories
And no answers
 
They just light my path
Insisting that I have somewhere to go

So tonight
I walk

On our "Farewell Tour" Lauren and I definitely wanted to see her grandparents and relatives on her Mom's side, since we really didn't get a chance to see them on the first leg of our Farewell Tour when we were in Wisconsin a few weeks back. Low and behold her mom and Grandparents had rented a beautiful beach house in Florida for all the relatives to stay in. So Hooray! We didn't have to go to Wisconsin but instead traveled to Santa Rosa Beach near Destin ...

... City Beach, Florida...beautiful! We pulled in at Campers Inn RV Park, put on our suits, grabbed our chairs, towels, and vodka ... and headed across the street to the beach. White sand, blue water and beautiful weather...just what the doctor ordered! MTV, Army Strong, and Girls-gone-wild...were a surprising benefit. Our RV park was just across the street from the purported largest bar and night club in America, Vela. Need we say more?

... the boat and sailing it to the pier at the condo. Then it's a calm fishing day. Except, the first boat's motor catches on fire, out in the water. The only replacement is a pontoon, which isn't the best for casting. But nothing stops dedicated fishermen/women. There's enough fish for dinner! No suprise.

To say my family lives for fishing is an understatement. Mom's father Lew Wright lived on the trout stream. When we were old enough to be "papoosed" on his back, we were out hiking and fishing. Not that we remember any of it at that age. Lew was well known in Western Pennsylvania for his fishing skills. He retired early from Alcoa ...

... we have ever seen - a sweeping spiral unsupported staircase. The music room is awesome...it's oval and has gold leaf decoration, intricate plasterwork and some brilliant lapis decoration panels at the base of the columns. Even the gardens are nice - with an amazing joggling board (http://www.oldcharlestonjogglingboard. com/)- a sort of bouncing seat common in this part of the world. We left here and headed to our second house by tram - the Aiken-Rhett home. This home is being ...
