Have you been wondering where the Wanderlust Crew has been the past few days? We’ve been doing some heavy travelling. We crossed the rest of Utah and enjoyed the majestic views. We were thrilled to see the ski hills in Colorado especially Vale and discovered Copper Mountain, for a future ski trip. Anyone want to join us? Joe, Da and Deb were tempted to stop and ski a few runs, but decided to wait until next time. The snow capped mountains were awesome as we had just missed a snow storm. We were happy that we didn’t have to have chains on our tires...according to law, you can’t drive the roads in the winter weather without them. We drove through a tunnel, approximately 1.6 miles, through a mountain as we drove to Denver. We stayed in ... read more

We woke up early to see Morro Rock and were delighted to see the seals that we’d heard the night before. Soon after we visited the Hearst Castle. Total decadence and abundance...we could get used to that lifestyle. We also celebrated Joe's Birthday enroute. Not far from there, we stopped to see the Elephant Seals sunning themselves on the beach of the Pacific Ocean. They had the right idea...just lay back and relax and enjoy the sunshine. We travelled up the California coast and were in awe of the beauty of the Big Sur. We ate at the Lucia Inn on their patio overlooking the ocean. Life is good. The road wound in and around the mountains giving us the most incredible views. We arrived in San Francisco and that’s when the 5th member of the ... read more

Another day has arrived and a new adventure awaits us. On our way to Las Vegas, we stopped at the Hoover Dam to admire the Engineering work of the dam. It's very impressive to see. They have built a new highway bridge which opened last fall and it has a pedestrian walkway to provide us a beautiful view of the dam. We continued on to Las Vegas, stayed at the Monte Carlo resort and walked Vegas' strip, had dinner, drinks, etc. There's lots of casinos, cool water display at Bellagios, Paris' eiffel Tower, etc. I can check Vegas off my "bucket list". ... read more

On the road again!!! Ok, we made it across Texas State. As they say, “Everything is big in Texas”, even the State. We drove across desolate New Mexico, it seemed endless and we watched the gas gage closely!! Finally, civilization again! We made it without any car trouble… Tucson is hot and dry. The temperature was mid to high 90s and we LOVED it. Yes it’s hot, but early mornings are great, and late afternoon into the evening is awesome. The next day, we traveled 40 minutes southeast of Tucson to visit “Kartchner Caverns”. We had a tour of a living cave. What an awesome experience. This cavern was discovered in the 1970s by 2 guys, Gary and Randy, who loved to explore caves. What’s amazing is when you are outside looking at the mountain, it ... read more

We left Beaumont for a new adventure and drove to San Antonio, Texas. Early the next day, we drove downtown to the RiverCenter Mall to park our car and tour the area. We visited the Alamo. The chapel of the Alamo Mission is known as the "Shrine of Texas Liberty". Late morning, we toured the Riverwalk by boat. That's quite the gem. The river is about 5 miles long lined with countless cafes, shops, restaurants and other businesses. We then visited the Hemisfair Park which was built to host the 1968 World's Fair and has the world famous San Antonio landmark "The Tower of the Americas". The 750-foot-tall Tower of the Americas provides guests the most spectacular view of the city from the Tower's revolving Chart House restaurant or from the observation deck. I would highly ... read more
