October 4th 2005
02-03/10/05 Eight wheels to Long Beach We headed south out of Bishop on the 395 and drove to Ridgecrest, where Carol, Rita and Mikayla were staying after a family wedding. We met quite a few of Rita's relatives and spent an hour or so chatting about our trip and the crash before we kidnapped Carol and made her navigate us to Long Beach. We spent the evening talking over news, old and new, and generally putting the world to rights. Carol and I did our degrees together in Portsmouth, England and Carol pointed out that it was probably twenty years ago to the day that we first met - LAWKS!! The next day we both slept late before finding space in the garage for the bikes. Later we headed to the Long Beach Aquarium to ooh ... read more

Once the race started, the roar of the cars was unbearably high....... read more

January 7th 2004
How do you prepare for a 94 day cruise? Summer in the South Pacific & winter in Asia, luckily for us, the ship has no limitations on luggage. We leave from Los Angeles and return to Los Angeles, so no flights to hassle with. Three months of advance bill paying and prescriptions. Say, did we turn off the water in the desert? Oh my goodness! We kick off our adventure January 9th with a Bon Voyage party and an overnight stay at the St. Regis in Century City. (Right next door to my old office building…small world…I’ll be thinking of you…nah!) Then on Saturday we embark to get a look at our new home until April 13th, the Radisson Seven Seas Voyager, which we get to show to Linda’s sister and brother-in-law. After a small visit, ... read more
