Extended Stay America Detroit- Southfield

Phew... Going through US Customs was a bit trying... No searching but a lot of questions meant - I supposed - to catch us with something bad... Who knows. We did not loose any meal. We're in the middle of a fairground, with a weak WiFi but OK. The only analog TV channels are from Detroit but the Detroit area offers 22 digital channels, many

Ah Detroit...home to the Pacers-Pistons brawl at the palace, the Russian national hockey team, and what will be the remnants of the once great American auto-industry once the bailout money is misappropriated and gone. I just had a burger at Chili's too for lunch, figuring it will be the last ...

... This fellow graduated with Bill, so we'll see if they can recognize each other. I mean it's only been 46 years!
Just got word that our shipboard account has been credited $250 as an "investor benefit" What a great deal! If you own 100 shares of the cruise line stock, you can collect shipboard credit every time you cruise. I got lucky and bought at the very ...

... would ever come to be realized.  Between incessant court-dates, elusive probation officers, and my own hemorrhaging of funds from traffic tickets and ubiquitous overdraft fees, my final days in the US felt like a hobble rather than a sprint to the finish.  Intermittently, I felt moments of disdain for the place I was raised.  A string of memorable weekend getaways with accompaniment from Daniel Pachota (born in South Dakota) amounted in my final days of summer, indicative of my longing to ...

... 200 metres/yards when I am stopped (it took them a while to notice me). I am informed that this is a secure area and told to drive back around to the entrance to Canada. Somehow we find our way back under the bridge and park outside a boom gate. I am then escorted up to the admin area where they try to locate our papers. Start talking to one of the guys there telling him where we are going he says he wouldn't drive 2 hours to see his ...

... shopping carts at top. An advertisement showing a girl with cell phones, pagers, and memory sticks is blurred with bright red lipstick and the word: God?



This is the face of the Heidelberg Project, started by Tyree Guyton in his Detroit neighborhood. Here, I’m reminded of John Water’s ...

Hey Everyone, I guess this is the start of my travel journal. I'm not in Peru yet but I figured I'd make a short entry with expectations and hopes before I head out. I have 4 more days until I leave for Peru and I'm excited but still a little behind on preparation. I have yet to pack and get everything ready for my trip! I guess I'll use the rest of ...

... A couple of weekends ago we had a yard sale in which we procured profits and most importantly some good memories. The entertainment/advertisement was Mylenes sister and Mike wearing ridiculous outfits holding a huge yard sale sign on Lawrence with Tom taking pictures. It was great fun even if we did have a sign with an arrow pointing the wrong way down a one way street. My last couple of weeks in Chicago were pretty great as I tried to ...

... Here is the scary part of the by-law: ***It is very important to understand that, according to this law, the burden is on the dog-owner to PROVE that their dog is not even part "Pit Bull" breed as defined in this law. TECHNICALLY, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PROVE THE BREED OF MOST DOGS THAT ARE NOT REGISTERED PUREBREDS. Please understand also that the law allows officers to IMMEDIATELY confiscate your dog. They do not have to allow you to leave the province with your dog ...

... a water mill with the stones included for grinding flour etc, a glass blowing factory (working, A pottery factory. He had transferred his own home he grew up in and had people search the country to find all the articles including glassware and crockery, beds and furniture, to ensure it was exactly as he recalled it being. This is truly a remarkable place and a definite thumbs up from the travellers, to learn and experience this wonderful place, set out in a way to learn ...
