Los Angeles….the town where a guy knows a guy who can….. There’s a distinct possibility that indeed this is true. Our premise is that we did know a guy who knew a guy who could. We took the long holiday weekend to make the drive from San Francisco to LA for several great reasons; to reconnect with good friends from Seattle and long lost Binkley cousins, and to take in one of the storied ...

I'm sure many would be willing to watch
You need a trip to Venice beach. We are getting ready for a 5 month trip so you will have plenty of blogs to read!

Love the Blog!
I finally got the time to check out your blog. (Retirement is a busy time in one's life.) I'm hooked! What a great job you guys are doing. Is it a joint venture in the writing? I already know who the photographer is. I also feel that our paths will cross again and the friendship will grow stronger. Have a terrific adventure!

Hello Trish
So good to hear from you. Dave and I write the blog jointly. We enjoy doing it together. We try to do it so no one is certain who wrote what. Dave does take photos from time to time but I do take most of them. I am better at outdoor photography than indoor. It was great meeting the family. We hope to get together again in the near future. We are looking forward to our trip.

The L.A. Connection
Great to read and see photos from an 'insider' so to speak. Thanks for leaving a comment on my forum entry about Paris... you're right, tourists can say they've seen L.A. after a couple of hours at the airport! like me once waiting for hours underground somewhere in the transit area... I've been to L. A. ha! ha! lol
