Super 8 Saratoga Spngs Ny Saratoga Springs

We finally got an offer in on the house!! We had two showings this weekend and one of them put in an offer! We counteroffered today. Now we'll see if they accept! And if so, we'll be on our way to selling the house! And this person already has sold their house and is planning to close on Tuesday. So we don't even have a contingent offer on him selling his house. Man oh man oh man I hope that this works!

Just a quick note...

Jacqui and I made it back home from our awesome 16 day cruise. I'm gonna work on posting up all of the days' entries and pictures.

We still haven't sold our house yet... But on a good note, the house wasn't buried in snow when we got home either! I'm heading out to Brazil on Saturday, so we've got a lot to finish up before then.

We had breakfast and then climbed aboard the bus heading towards the Bennington Battle Monument. The monument is in honor of Brigadier General John Stark who defeated British General John Burgoyne’s invading army in 1777. The Monument is 306 feet 4 ½ inches
tall, making it 4 ½ inches taller than the Statue of Liberty and, even though it looks like the Washington Monument, it’s actually 40 years older. We rode up in an elevator, 8 ...

... for Jacqui and me after I finish the job in Russia. It looks like there is a transatlantic cruise from Rome to Fort Lauderdale leaving Rome the day I am planning to leave Russia (which will be a tight connection)... If the cruise line will agree to let me board the ship in Florence the next day if I miss the departure in Rome...that sounds pretty good to me. Oh ...

The first part of the ride from the village of Lake George to Glens Falls is mostly on a bike trail. It was nice to have a shorter, much flatter ride the next day down to Easton Mountain, where I attended a retreat over Labor Day weekend.

I camped on the lazy Schroon River that night. The weather continued to be perfect, and Schroon Lake was great for swimming, much nicer - and warmer - than the muddy river. That morning, I did a loop west up over a major ridge to Olmsteadville and Minerva. Nothing like a two-mile climb before breakfast. I packed up after lunch and ...

Someone up there must like us - it rained all day Saturday, but we had booked Friday and Saturday nights at the Glen Lodge so we didn't need to bike. Although, since we didn't have a car, we were getting cabin fever by evening, and biked down to Warrensburg to get some dinner. Otherwise, I got a lot of reading done.

... one or two ridges to cross. There's a great downhill leading to the Alcove reservoir, southwest of Albany. We camped that evening at a lovely marina on the shore of the Mohawk river, just west of Schenectady.

The night before I left, I took my bike and rode along the Jordan River Parkway near Saratoga Springs, watching a beautiful sunset go behind the mountains. Sometimes I like to just be alone.

Hello again everyone...I'm currently sitting at my desk at work, wondering what it is about travel that draws me. Maybe its the fact that I've been staring at a computer screen for the last week now catching up on the project engineering I couldn't do while I was off traveling for work. Maybe its the thrill of being THE authority about the equipment while I'm on-site. Maybe its the excitement of ...
