... us forget that we were stopping in Boise for the fun nightlife NOT the spa shower and home office. After we finally pulled ourselves away from the amazing hotel, we made it out to the Sockeye Brewery just in time to catch the second half of the Boise State game, which was super fun and our first hometown experience with big-time college football (well other than the majority of Wyoming where the only radio station ...

... he is healing our wounds.

At night I struggle with sleep, trying to keep the images from my mind. I often fail. I ask you to please not tell me how you don't like dog parks or your horrendous animal story, I've heard enough and I hurt too deeply. Instead hold us in your hearts, give a donation to your animal shelter and hug someone you love.

 With Love,
Renee

... So we set out on our scavenging to see where would be the best place for us for the night. We found this nice little park in the middle of a residential area. We thought it would be a great place to sleep for the night. It was secluded, hidden, in a good area. What could go wrong? (famous last words from our trip) I instantly passed out was my head hit the pillow, but was woken up about 2 ...

When we arrived at Springfield it was already late and dark. We were all hungry. So it didn't took us long to get our stuff into the Hotel rooms (which by the way were huge with its own little kitchen and a sofa.) and get out to find a restaurant. But we couldn't go to the Brewery around the corner as planned since under 21 were not allowed. So we ended up going to Jack in the Box. Not a great start into holidays. But it was OK and fast and also ...

270 miles on the 1st day was probably always ambitious target Add to that 106 degree heat, a later than planned start, 106 degree heat, flaky Satnav, 106 degree heat, Cheap supermarket bike communications and did i mention how hot it was. It was well after 11 when we finally made it on the I5 with Rogers Satnav not really helping . We ...

We did it, we bought our one way ticket from Portland, Oregon to Madrid, Spain. We chose one way because we are not sure when we want to return, and we don't want to feel rushed. We also liked the idea of an adventure from the beginning to the end, not knowing how to get home is going to be a challenge. I don't think words can express how excited and anxious I am to be getting ready for such a big event.

... shatter. It actually reminded me a lot of the silk mantles that you use in coleman lanterns for some reason. And I hypothesize that as long as I don't move anything, it'll probably be fine, but as soon as I lift the can off the burner, that basket with probably break and all the lava rocks will fall out. I'll deal with that later if it happens, but for now, it looks like it'll be ready for cooking again as long as I re-glaze the inside. So I put a couple more coats of the curing ...

... we all went on up to the Arboritum just down the road. Andy stayed in the RV to get some computer work done and let us gals have some time together. Vickie and I walked and talked. We could have gone on for much longer but.....she has clients waiting for her to keep them fit and healthy with her Pilates and her attention to physical therapy. Her clients love her and I know why! After an emotional farewell, Vickie left us and we headed North to Nehalem Bay.

... things I wish I had. But you can buy everything on the road if need be. My bag had my passport, my plane ticket, and means to get money. That's all I really needed. Mom made me a chicken sandwich to wolf down, and we spent the last hours in relative silence.... Then off to the airport. 26 hours later (1 hour to Seattle, 3 hour layover, 14 more to Taipai, another 3 hour layover, 4 hours to Thailand, and then a reasonably painless immigration). Then Bangkok

Ahh...arrived to see Roxy finally!!! Wasnt sure what to expect at the airport, but Roxy was right, holy **** was it small. Welcoming though, after only being in large ones ( oh except when Mirabel was still open in Quebec) anyway, see Roxy and shes got the bambino and the new man in the car! Driving to her place, small town, lots of hippies and medical marijuana cards. Seems great already! I had my first beer like 3 hours later and didnt stop till that night when I went to sleep.
