Quail Hollow Resort Painesville

... 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.

... So you'r from the Netherlands? Where? Sweden?"... tja... wat moet ik daar nou weer op antwoorden? Maar 21-jarige volledig ongeschoolde Eric (geloof ik, maar het kan ook Chris geweest zijn... iets te veel mensen ontmoet) had een interessante vraag (oke, het moet je interesseren, maar toch): "Isn't the Dutch flag Red, white and blue?" -"yes". "Then why does your national soccer team play in orange".... Kijk, hoger opgeleide Amerikanen: zo kan het dus ...

... poor driving skills in the tri-state area. Getting to route 80 was simple enough since we left after morning rush hour and since then its been a straight shot.

Although I will have to say that the whole state of PA smells like one big farm and there's quite a bit of road kill. Other than that Day 1 was uneventful. A few stops for gas and a pull off at McDonalds to take advantage of a clean bathroom and the day ...

... and Roll Hall of Fame. The first day I spent in Bedford, and then settled myself in my hotel in Independence, just south of Cleveland.

Dinner was at Tom Evans, a place I had seen the commercials for, but with none in Canada, had never been too...YUM - Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, gravy and biscuits!

We finally made it to Mentor, Ohio, so I could meet up with my great aunt (my grandma's sister) and her son (my second cousin). It was so good to finally meet them and my great aunt laughed just like my grandma used to :)

Not much to report from this stop apart from catching up with family and looking at family photos ...

... neighborhood. Not the best neighborhood, but then again not the worst. There is an ice skate rink sharing this parking lot and weeds growing out of the cracks in the asphalt. Josh wasn't enjoying himself but he got some grinds in. Like I told him, "Not every place will be as peachy keen." So we made do, skated for an hour then continued down the ...

... 600 miles. I experimented with an oil treatment and it seems to work wonders. Engine is just old. I also added air in tires, and made sure all of em were at the correct pressure. Things begin to improve. We figured alright we're gonna make it to Rochester NY and make it a straight shot, and sure enough, we made it. With only 30 dollars to spare.

... the neighbors would disagree, but they don't like my singing anyways)

You too can experience her wonderfulness as well, even if you are NOT an airline employee: She also does groups and can handle non-airline clients. Start your relationship with her today!

OK, enough of the product placement! Just contact her, and tell her I sent you!

Cleveland, Ohio, United States ohiolair

In need of a vacation, my wife and I decided to go to Toronto via Cleveland and Niagara Falls. Having visited Clevelnad before, we knew downtown was the location we preferred to stay, but some events made the hotel prices on the night we were there soar out of sight, so we stayed at the Sheraton ...

... concerts. The award-winning Blossom Pavilion, where the Choir and Orchestra performed, is noted for its superb acoustical design and distinctive architecture. The spacious pavilion and surrounding lawn area provided an ideal setting for a large crowd to enjoy the Choir and Orchestra. Attendance Monday evening was just over four thousand.

Unique to the Cleveland concert was a taping of the 4,061st installment of the Choir’s weekly broadcast, Music and the Spoken ...
