5 shirts,4 pants,2 hats...Uhhggg Daddy's making me clean the whole house and my room before we leave to go to France.He says he wants the house clean before we go so he can have a really clean house all to himself before we come back.You see he asked me if I wanted to spend an extra eleven days on tour so I said yes.We were supposed to go to Italy and Greece but since Greece has illegal immigration problems and riots we decided not to.So I'll be going to Italy a second time and in July.Hmmmm Italy = shops with cute shoes! ... read more

Hello all- This is a test blog after adding a few folks. Marty and I are counting the days...3 and half, till we are off on our first big adventure together. For me it is a return to a place I never wanted to leave in the first place. I will be reconnecting with friends not seen for far too long and introducing Marty to my other world. I am bursting with fruit flavor waiting for it all to begin. We need to pack. Good news is we actually don't have to pay for check- in baggage, due to the distance we are traveling. We need to finish up Christmas in the States, which has involved making cut out cookie and decorating them and spending time with good friends and will involve a special "Christmas Eve" ... read more

Saturday, July 12, 2008, Fort Collins, CO Leaving Rawlins today we plan to stop in Fort Collins, CO. A friend of our son (Megan Aaron) lives there and we want to see her before heading home. Fort Collins is, according to one report we heard recently, the second most popular place to live in the country. On the way we spotted a Wind Energy Farm. This was a huge facility that seemed to go on forever. Fort Collins is an interesting city where everyone seems to own a dog and a bicycle. They ride the one and drag the other everywhere they go. This is a college town with an eclectic mix of people. We spotted self styled hippies, yuppies and, intellectuals. Shops line the streets and were inundated with shoppers. Restaurants maintain sidewalk patios where ... read more

We finally arrived at Denver airport after an eventful journey. This is to be the starting point of our road trip, around the wild west and probably more. But first we had to pick up our hire car........ Would you believe our troubles were not over!!! We had booked and paid for a hire car for 47 days, but they had us down for 17 days!!! Several hours later after heated discussion and many phone calls, we finally left with the car. Now was the hour drive to Fort Collins, to stay with family for a few days. But, the hours drive took us two and a half hours due to road works on the interstate. After a 4.30am start that morning, we finally arrived at our destination at 6.30pm!! This is a day we don't ... read more

FINALLY! I hear you all cry. Yes it has been a while since the last entry. Sorry for the delay but i've either been too busy or not had access to the internet. Apologies. So then, on to Colorado. It was here that i was to meet up with some chums i had met on my previous trip. The names of the poor unfortunates are Reilly and Marissa and for those of you who followed the previous trip you should be up to speed on who they are. The girls had promised me that if i was going to miss Colorado then i would be 'missing the greatest state in America'. With a promise like that i thought why not give it a go? As i flew into Denver airport it became obvious that something wasn't ... read more

This is simply a little diddy to get me started. Hopefully throughout my travels throughout Europe during the coming summer I will find ample time to reflect on the emotions, sights, sounds and so fourth. Sit down and share some amusing antidotes with my family and friends. Since I've yet to begin this trip I can only start with my preparations, Check list checked, bag pack( three months early), documentation and passes bought. I guess I'm a bit anxious for this trip. I have always felt this certain need to get out and experience a different culture, I imagined myself up and leaving one day, barely saying goodbye to those close to me and starting an adventure, my own fresh start, not that I dislike anyone around me, in fact the only times I have been ... read more

Sorry it's taken awhile for me to do this. There is a blizzard outside (we're expected to get ten inches between today and tomorrow) so this is a good time to sit in front of the computer for half an hour or so. Last week was a lot of fun. Mom, John, and I flew to Colorado the night before Thanksgiving, and stayed in Fort Collins until Sunday afternoon. The Thanksgiving dinner was at Rose and Jim's farm; they were very kind to have us there with them and their family. It was fun to see extended family of extended family. :) Because of the summers I have spent in Fort Collins, I have gotten to know Uncle Alan's side of the family pretty well, and I appreciate that. Mom finally saw Grandmama's new house, and ... read more
