Quote Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen. Benjamin Disraeli Web sites Maui Mountain Cruisers Haleakala National Park Monday, March 28, 2005. Bob and I left Honolulu and flew to Maui, the “valley isle”. My initial impression of Maui is, less traffic, no high-rise hotels, and more rustic. As we arrived the clouds were hanging over the mountains, the trade winds blowing and a light rain was falling. The purpose of our traveling to [View Full Entry]

The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. --Augustine (354-430) February 16,2005 Wednesday This will probably be our last day of sightseeing. We were up early and the first stop was Mt. Woodall, the highest point in Mississippi, 806 feet. It is located at the northeast corner of MS. It was a drive up point, so no hiking was necessary. After breakfast we were on our way to Shiloh, a National Monument Park, in southwest Tennessee. At the Visitor’s center we watched a video describing the bloody battle that to [View Full Entry]

It isvery beautiful and scenic for 10, 20, 30 even 40 miles but…&he [View Full Entry]

I love to travel, But hate to arrive --Albert Einstein February 13, 2005, Sunday. This was a travel day and it rained and rained. This is perhaps the heaviest rain day since we left Pittsburgh early in January. We drove from bayou country, LA, to Natchez, MS. Natchez was our destination because of the well know bike trail. It runs over 400 miles from Natchez, MS to Nashville, TN. The Natchez and Choctaw Indians used this “trace” for hunting and later this same path was used by the merchants that floated their goods down the Missi [View Full Entry]

Happy Birthday dear Booobbbb…….(Just be glad you don’t have to hear me sing!) After the birthday boy opened his presents, we were on our way to New Orleans.
