... better than that of LSU.

Getting back on the road, we stopped in Cleveland to check out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The building was impressive, but the City was not. The displays were nice, but we weren't real R&R fans. There were lots of displays of old musical equipment used by the legends of R&R.

Back to the road.

... fender, more for the benefit of my riding buddies - to keep the gravel spits from hitting their bike(s) when they are riding behind me.

This trip is already costing me a small fortune! I might have to start selling my body... LOL!

Retirement is looming - only 20 work days to go! Excited and nervous at the same time ...

... dus twee stoelen voor mijzelf. Schoenen uit, dikke sokken aan (dank je wel voor de tip, Eline), jas als deken en slapen maar. Jammer alleen dat ik niet van het uitzicht kon genieten.

Het hotel was een beetje in een buitenwijk, maar met de taxi slechts een kwartiertje... en dat kost dan ook maar $15.00. Waar ze dat van doen, weet ik niet maar Amsterdamse taxichauffeurs zijn zo bescheiden niet... Mijn hotelkamer was al beschikbaar dus ik heb lekker ...

... Guitars, guitars, and more guitars playlist on the ipod got us through almost 7 hours of driving, and by then we were down to the last stretch of the day. If all such playlists turn out to be so lovingly crafted and so perfectly geared for long stretches on the road then we're set...tooo bad I'm not quite the same level of playlist master...

The end of Day 1 found us in Cleveland, which was accommodating, although I ...

... as many wires as the old set. And not as bulky.

Been in touch with two of the other riders; we are having another meeting on Dec. 29th to pay for some of the items we will all be sharing the cost for, ie...plastic adhesive covering for chrome and paint, Canadian National Park pass, etc.

... The tow dolly was a couple inches wider than the RV and made staying between the lines harder. It's easier to handle the slower traffic, and made things more enjoyable. We continued on, but all those lights slowed us down, and we arrived to Rochester NY at 830 pm. We shut down and unloaded everything, found Darren, our host for the next few days.

We returned to Betsy's parents house from our time in Mexico. After throwing a few more things away - we took off in our car on a road trip to Cindy Snow's wedding in Arkansas. We visited our friends Bill and Chuck in Cincinnati, then we followed the Ohio river to the Mississipi. We stopped at some small towns along the way like Metropolis (the home of superman).

We left Florida and drove to Berea via Winston Salem so we could visit Jed and Cecilie (Peter's nephew). When we arrived in Berea we spent the month of March getting Betsy's parents house ready to put on the market. The house market in Cleveland is horrible so we thought we better try to sell the house as soon as possible so they would be ready to move into their new retirement apartment in Chagrin Falls when is was completed in the fall.

... s mom and then made our way to Cleveland. We arrived in downtown Cleveland early in the afternoon, and after alot of one-way streets, construction, and road rage, we arrived at our hotel- The Renaissance Cleveland Hotel. We got a package for Brew at the Zoo that included the hotel, and damn, it was a fancy-schmancy place! Whoo hoo! No Motel 6 for us tonight! So we had a few hours to kill before ...

... day Saints. The visitors were also delighted to learn that Jonathan Hale, the original owner of the farm, was the 4th great grandfather of Carol Jeffries, who is a current member of the Choir.

Blossom Music Center is the summer home of the Cleveland Orchestra. Completed in 1968, it bears the name of the Dudley S. Blossom family, a major supporter of the orchestra throughout its history. A major renovation was completed in 2003 and the center now hosts a 10-week season of ...
