A while back when our good friends Jim and Genevieve invited us to join them on a cruise onboard the Princess Discovery. Genevieve, a Las Vegas entertainer, and in my opinion, a singer as good as Whitney, was hired along with the legendary group The Platters to preform for a private Doo Wop cruise onboard. …

Hurry Home It’s Quiet Here
My wife is visiting her mother and I'm alone at home for the next two weeks. While I miss her dearly, and would much more desire her presence, it is always a good time to reflect, to work with my hands, and detach myself from the world. It's been almost a week now and I've …
My stay at “The Manor” in Snainton UK
I rarely write publically about my stays while traveling, but this stay needs a loud and enthusiastic review. One of my Romatic fantasies has been to stay in a classic, original, and historic manor house in England. And I never thought it would be possible through Booking.com. Our host Helen lists her Grade 1 three …
The Crazy Mountains and Beyond
Last Wednesday, July 1st, we hit the road again and this time we were blessed to have nearly a week away without internet or phone service. Our journey first took us from our home in Polebridge, Montana to West Glacier where we had a parting rendezvous with friends. A group of us were greatly surprised …
Friendship’s 5.03.19
We left Brownwood Texas happier than a clam digger on Martha's Vinyard. Great people hosted us, fed us, took us on safari, and let us fish their "tanks" for huge large mouth bass. We got to see a perfectly planned and executed, small town, war memorial, and we attend a bible study with the locals. …
Catching up! 4.27.19
Thinking back.... We left the white sands of Fort Pickens and camped at Davis Bayou in Ocean Springs Mississippi where we had our fill of the best and cheepest crawfish. We paid something like $3.95 per pound and further along we saw it for more than $8.95 per pound. The campground where we stayed was …
Blessed
I've see seen a lot of road and lots of stuff on our retirment tour; almost six thousand miles and many, many dozens of cities and sites. Surely, so far, we have chosen our favorite sites, parks, campgrounds, restaurant's and roads. But we have also had fun and emotional experiences along the way. I must …
Gainsville to Fort Picken’s
It has been a quite busy trip and it has also been difficult to find time to write. Tonight is the exception. There is a line of strong thunderstorms heading our way and lightning is flashing all around us. It's only 9:30 pm at present, and we retired early, it was a long day and …
Out to Pasture & More!
Mom's Pool We will be hunkered down in Orlando, at my mom's house, for a couple more days and we are happy for this brief respite after all our adventures. We need this time to refresh, do laundry, clean the van, get reorganised, and fix the power steering. Yep, the power steering bracket broke again! …
Braggadocious
Some might say, "I can't do what Bob's doing, isn't he's praising himself for his own achievements?" Or some might say, "He's awfully proud of himself; his vehicle, his life, his adventure!" Well believe it or not, I get it! I'm not a shy guy! But my intent is not to speak too proudly or …
