| 1st January 2010 Silver Back Cuda | Non mall movie! - From: 43rd Anniversary Weekend - Schenectady & More - Great Eats & Show Time in NY's Cap Region Schenectady has two non mall movies - Bowtie is at the s/e corner of State St. and Broadway And Scotia is opp the Chinese Restaurant on the main drag in Scotia. Both great and great value - esp, Scotia! I love to connect to people who seek independent venues! |
| 31st December 2009 Mark and Jean | The Movies - From: 43rd Anniversary Weekend - Schenectady & More - Great Eats & Show Time in NY's Cap Region We never go to the movies (Not never but almost never). Can't stand the malls. We'll have to try the Bowtie. I'll have to pass on the after movie drink establishments, to far to drive back home after a martini or two! |

| 31st December 2009 Neil and Jane Golub | 43rd Anniversary Weekend - From: 43rd Anniversary Weekend - Schenectady & More - Great Eats & Show Time in NY's Cap Region Dear Wes and Joanne, Happy 43rd - we have you beat by three - let's keep both of our runs going! We may be in Boca for the Christmas/New Year's week, but thoroughly enjoyed the pictures of our favorites in Schenectady - Bow Tie Cinema, Scotti's, Aperitivo, etc. We have Wes and Mary Holloway down with us (it has become a Holiday tradition of many many years) and we all agree we must get to the Charlton Tavern upon our return - Sure that our paths will cross at events - we're doing the initial planning for the Jazzy Party for SDN - We wish you both the Happiest and Healthiest of New Year's with a 2010 filled with all sorts of wonderful things!

| 14th October 2009 Silver Back Cuda | spider web - From: Les Andeleys I know. I have great spider webs here on the dock and deck in the morning and NEVER can shoot it right - it was sooooo foggy that morning --- we could hardly see our hands; we were coming down from this craggy hill - very tough travel on foot - our group got so far ahead of us because I REALLY wanted to frame that shot - we were like old fogies - Wes and I were the last ones to catch up with the group. But, so worth it! Thanks for noticing. J. |

| 12th October 2009 Silver Back Cuda | - From: Normandy Beaches - D Day Memorial Hi Mark - We bought a great little book explaining the strategies of D Day to children - it is for our grandchildren to read; but so insightful for we big kids who didn't pay enought attention in history class. Thanks for the comments. |
| 12th October 2009 Mark | Normandy - From: Normandy Beaches - D Day Memorial I've read many accounts of D-Day and the days leading to and following. I agree with Jeff, nice photos and commentary. Thanks for sharing. |

| 12th October 2009 Chris W. | - From: Three Days in Paris I was just talking with my daughter today about her visit to Paris a few years ago (she went for a week all by herself) and she specifically mentioned the D'Orsay Museum as being one of her favorite sites. My husband, sister and I are planning a trip next fall, so I'm very interested in your impressions. |

| 9th October 2009 Silver Back Cuda | Ver Sales!!! - From: Versailles I understand your confusion. We were surely confused when, on our first trip to the Lexington, KY area, we found out we were in Versailles - but were advised to call it Ver Sales! Thanks for the funny, Mark! |
| 8th October 2009 Mark | Versailles - From: Versailles Why that's not Versailles, I've stayed in Versailles and they don't have anyting as big as that. You musta been in Midway! |

| 8th October 2009 Silver Back Cuda | BIZET - From: Paris - Oct. 3, 2009 Hi Carol - you will love your tour - we were docked near the Bizet one day - it looks like a great boat - Circle has a wonderful reputation. Trying to organize our photos - would love to have you over for lunch to chat about the trip - don't think I would ever tire of talking about it. So glad you are going. |
| 7th October 2009 Carol Raphael | me too!! - From: Paris - Oct. 3, 2009 Enjoyed reading about your travels. I will be taking the same trip in April 2010 so hope I see you at one point so we can talk about the highlights of the ride up the Seine. I'm also doing a 5-day pre-London before boarding the M/S Bizet with Grand Circle tours. Talk soon, I hope. |
| 7th October 2009 Chris W. | Fun! - From: Paris - Oct. 3, 2009 Sounds like a great trip. Looking forward to more entries. I'm impressed that you two caught the nightlife. On our river trip last year we couldn't stay awake past 10 p.m.! |

| 7th October 2009 jeff | what a trip! - From: Paris - Oct. 3, 2009 Fabulous pictures and story(Jo-Anne,I am a fan!)........glad you guys had such a great time!! |
| 6th October 2009 Silver Back Cuda | Camping Near Keenland - From: Fort DeSoto State Park, St. Petersburg, FL Highly recommend Kentucky Horse Park for camping near Keenland. It has hookups for water and elec. Sewer dump station. Good, clean laundry (no horse blankets please). Good, clean showers. Lovely playground (we invite relatives with children living in the area and they love it). Good Camp store. Picnic tables and fireplaces - they allow campfires. There is a pool; but we have only been there in Oct. and April (coinciding with the Keenland meets). |
| 22nd September 2009 bill | camping - From: Lexington, Keeneland Race Course, Kentucky Horse Park RV Park looking for camp ground neer keeneland |
| 13th September 2009 Silver Back Cuda | Car for Fort DeSoto Visitor - From: Fort DeSoto State Park, St. Petersburg, FL I would say that over a week's time you might want a car; mostly because there is so much to see and do away from the park. There are bicycles for rent and you can also rent kayacks. The park is sprawley and you might find that you need some form of transportation - even to get from the campsites to the beach. I am so sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I don't blog much in the summer and just took a look at the site. Hope you had a great time. The area is wonderful. |
| 13th September 2009 Silver Back Cuda | Ballston Lake Access - From: Ballston Lake, NY Hi Julia - sorry I took so long to get back to you. Ballston Lake has a free public fishing pier, access to a free hike/bike trail and free launch site for small car top boats (kayacks, etc.) at the north end of the lake. Access and a parking lot off of Outlet Road. Outlet runs between Lake Road and Route 50 (where Charlton Road comes into Saratoga Rd. - north Charlton Rd. Town of Ballston - there is another in the town of Glenville). The Good Times Restaurant on Lake Road has outdoor seating on a great deck with a lake view (good sunsets). The Good Times also has a boat launch for motor boats, fishing boats, etc. I believe the launching fee for fishing boats and motor boats is about $9. Other than that access to the lake is private. Great fishing! |
| 11th August 2009 Julia | Question - From: Ballston Lake, NY Hi! I was wondering if you could tell me where on the lake one can swim and/or relax by the water, and where there are hiking trails. I'd like to take a day trip to Ballston Lake, and want to spend it entirely outdoors. Thanks in advance! |
| 30th June 2009 PZ | I'm planning a trip... - From: Fort DeSoto State Park, St. Petersburg, FL I was wondering if you could help me out here. I'll be flying into the Sarasota airport and I want to spend my week at DeSoto, but I think renting a car that will sit for a week (because I'll be lounging on the beach all week) would be a waste of money. Are there shuttles that take people down there? Thanks! |
| 5th April 2009 Lauren Prock | BEAUTIFUL - From: Atlanta These places look absolutly beautiful. I wish that Jeff and I could go on vacation. Can't wait to hear about your trip. |
| 3rd April 2009 Jayne | Vive Georgia! - From: Atlanta Hi Guys, Yes, Atlanta is a great 'town." I've been there a couple times and enjoyed the botanical gardens and such. Your dual museum experience sounded awesome, as did everything else! Be safe. Jayne |
| 2nd April 2009 Lauren Prock | Oh My - From: Santa Rosa and Destin Look at these beautiful pictures. You guys look like you're having a blast. HaH, I wish that Jeff and I could take a break and go on a long vacation like this. Can't wait to here about it all when you return! |
| 31st March 2009 Cathy Cahill | Hey there! - From: Pine Island Revisited I also happen to be a big fan of Matlacha, FL! My Mom and Dad live there - my mom is Marie Cahill, the artist you mentioned. Her paintings really capture the colorful and artsy spirit of Matlacha - so glad you mentioned them. Enjoy! |
| 5th March 2009 Bill Connors | Great Photos - From: Rainbow River State Park The photo's are really great! Thanks for sharing and continue safe and fun travel. |
| 3rd March 2009 Stella | - From: Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park We went to Homossa a couple of weeks ago, again - had a good time but Lu just slept -- he wasn't going to give us a show!

| 27th February 2009 Lauren Prock | Still Looks Beautiful - From: Egmont Key, Fort De Soto, Tierra Verde Joanne and Wes, These places still looks gorgous. I wish that I could be with you guys, just to see some of these wonderful places. I'm sure the food is excellent at these places also. Have a good time, and I can't wait to hear all about it when you return. |
| 12th February 2009 Lauren Prock | Nice, Nice - From: Marie Selby Botanical Gardens Oh my, look at these places. I'd love to see this place sometime. I love the flowers and gazebo.

After that, over to Sarasota to visit friends there and then up to Weeki Wachee to my stepdaughter's for a few days. Whew!' Will play golf with Joe and LJ on Wed the 11th, I think. Joanne Sole will be there, too. Jayne |

| 7th December 2008 Mark and Jean | Why leave Silver Lakes - From: I-95 to St. Augustine, Naples, Marco Island Looked Great there at St. Augustine. I'd be tempted to settle right there for the winter. Here at home it's snow flurries, low 30's and high wind warning for this afternoon. Enjoy the sunshine, I'll try not to think aout you! Jean |

| 27th May 2008 Silver Back Cuda | re: ants Fort DeSoto - From: Fort DeSoto State Park, St. Petersburg, FL Wow - we have run into some nasty little ants too - one is called a fire ant - What a bite! Now we never put a beach towel, etc. on the ground on pool patios, etc. There is a product called Terro Ant Killer that has worked for us. |
| 27th May 2008 Sande | Invasion - From: Fort DeSoto State Park, St. Petersburg, FL We loved Ft. DeSoto State Park also, although our motorhome was invaded by Argentine ants. You do have to be extremely careful that you don't park under tree limbs. While we had so many ants invade our RV, the tenters next to us had no trouble at all. Just watch where you park. |
