Residence Inn Marriott Billing Billings

I have picked up some kind of tropical disease, because that's what happens to adventurers - just ask Indiana Jones. It's a very clever disease. it's disguising itself as a common cold, but with a slight twist; and here's the masterstroke - I have a very painful earache with it. I have tried getting whatever's hurting in there out with a stick that i found on the ground but that just made it worse. See, I told you it ...

The Hampton was nice, new and comfortable. We woke this morning, enjoyed the hotel breakfast. We organized our bags and cleaned out the car; tossed out our cooler, food, drinks and utensils then headed for the airport. Billings is another extremely small airport. It was easy to park the rental car and walk to the gate. <br><br>Let the all day journey home begin....<br><br>We're delayed to Denver, 20 minutes.<br>

... was a nice small airport<br>and it took no time to find my bag. <br><br><br><br><br>Having never met Bart before, and being<br>a bit too sleep depraved at this point to fully recall his facebook<br>profile pic, I did the only thing possible: look at all the men<br>waiting with a quizzical expression and hope one would return it.<br>Nope. Just some equally puzzled 'stop-staring-at-me' looks, and one<br>that might have ...

We traveled to billings , because we wanted to get new tires on the truck, the little wear indicators were almost smowing so we thought it would be best to be safe  rather than sorry. Because Montana doesnt have any sales tax , its a good state to make big purchases. We researched on the net and it appears that  Costco is ...

... A lovely looking man and woman got on board and their twin girls who must have been 1 years old. They were completley beautiful little girls but I was still a tad miffed when the whole family sat behind me (however beautiful- at one years old-you know they is gonna be cryin!).<br>It turns out that this quiet, placid looking fellow of a father, was the most offensive pig I have ever met in my life! Im not adverse to the odd bit of swearing, infact sometimes I will do it ...

Helen, Danny and I decided that we'd covered most of the Black Hills so we packed up our rig and headed out for Billings. We traveled I-90 until we were in Wyoming, near Devils Tower.<br>Just in case you don't remember, Devil's Tower was the mountain in Close Encounters of the Third Kind and was the first national monument. We spent a short time at the monument listening to a talk about the geological formation of the tower given by a park ranger and ...

... Cody spent a lot of time, and we were pushing on, in slightly gloomier (and colder) weather over some high ground and into Montana, where we finally saw some real cowboys and their dogs rounding up a heard of black angus.<br>Just 15 miles short of Billings, the car started to slow down and misfire again and I had to stop.  Even though it was only 5 degrees outside and no civilisation to be seen I was far more relaxed this time ...

... table and in his finest teacher/coach voice, gave a speech that had everyone laughing so hard that we were holding our sides. Then he sat down and became quiet Kent again. Priceless. So if you are still reading, I have to encourage you to check out Marty Gane's tours - she is a consummate professional and we couldn't have had a better time. Her company is www.southmountainexpeditions.com.

... so we have decided to spend another night here.  We can spend some time seeing Billings or go to a movie or something indoors as it isn't a fit day to do outdoor stuff.  It's supposed to be a bit better tomorrow so we'll head out in the morning.   We've had eight days of better than average weather so I guess it's time for the opposite.  I just hope it clears off so we can enjoy the amazing sights of Yellowstone..  Cross your fingers..  More later..  DLD

... a number of years ago presenting American history through the eyes of minorities, or those without the power and it gives a much different view than our textbooks give us. Anyway, enough of that, it was just interesting to get to see a place like that, something like Mount Rushmore but on the opposite end of the spectrum.<br> It was a beautiful day and after spending a couple of hours there I went on north and had a cheeseburger deluxe at the Schwarzwald ...
