Even though the whole trip took two days less than I'd allowed, I feel very satisfied, and complete with all of it. I've learned a couple of things on this trip: 1) I can plan a longer ride allowing the time I need, knowing that I do like to spend entire days in the saddle ...

... kept in touch through the years.  Our reunion was awesome!  We picked up where we left off, good friends.  Jeane lives on 5 acres of land about 15 miles east of Albuquerque in the mountains.  She offered to let me stay in a little house on her property that was vacant.  So, from the first of the year until Feb 20 I lived in this little house with Murphy Brown, Lucky and Buddy.  The RV was parked in the driveway with occasional overnight stays at the ...

This Chinese tour is sponsered by the Chamber of ...

Friends and Family, You know what Fred always says..."The first hundred miles are the hardest." Metaphorically speaking, Fred and I have been busily getting all our "ducks in a row" to begin our traveling adventures. We just finished paying bills, doing taxes, and packing. We have arranged a ride to the airport for our flight to Panama ...

This is Fred and I have taken control of Jane's blog. Actually she is to ill to get out of bed or work a keyboard, so she asked if I would let everyone know we are home safe. About 20 hours after leaving out hotel in Guatemala City we arrived tired in ...

... Manhattan Project) in Los Alamos, New Mexico, and we watched a film about it and the debate on whether or not to use it against Japan during World War II. Jenn answered questions by a computer to determine how much radiation she is exposed to during a year and we were stunned to discover how much we are exposed to and where it comes from.
