2/25 - Saturday We broke camp this morning and by 10 a.m., Frank, Charlene, Jim & I were leaving the RV park and back on the road. We arrived in Why, AZ at about 2:30 pm. We are back on desert land again and have located (and parked next to) our other friends Larry & Marsha. 2/26 - Sunday Jim & I drove out to the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument (which is just a couple of miles from where we are parked. This is the only place in the U.S. which has Organ Pipe Cactus. The Sonoran desert extends into [View Full Entry]

2/8 - Wednesday Tomorrow is our last day in Las Vegas. We did not win our fortune in this trip (either). We stayed at the Excalibur Hotel (picture attached). Las Vegas is not what it used to be in the way of inexpensive food and rooms. While you can still find a room at a reasonable price (if you look around)…food is getting pretty expensive. We chose to eat at Harrah’s buffet (Deb, I thought of you), everyday at lunch. They still have one of the best buffets on the strip. Also popping up are a lot of little ‘strip [View Full Entry]

1/20 - Friday The RV’s are really starting to come in now. I am attaching two pictures…one that I posted before everyone started arriving and one that shows what our ‘site’ looks like right now. Tomorrow the big RV & vacation show opens (the ‘Hoopla’, as my neighbor calls it!). There are lots of vendors here now and a lot of things to buy (we bought a couple of rugs for our RV…to put on top of our carpeting, entering into the livingroom and a small one ontop of the hardwood floor in front of the kitchen sink, to keep it [View Full Entry]

Monday, 12/26/05: I am attaching a couple of pictures from Laughlin, NV from last week. I lost my $30.00 quickly, Jim lost less than me, but as usual the casinos were the winners. We had a very nice Christmas day yesterday, hope you all did as well. The day was in the mid 70’s and sunny. Seven of us got together for a ‘pot luck’. The women provided the food. Larry & Marsha live diagonally behind us and have been married for 2 years. Larry is one year older than Jim and Marsha is one year older than me. Frank [View Full Entry]

Tuesday, 12/20 We arrived at our winter destination of the Quartzsite, AZ desert, safe and sound, on 12/10. Not too much to do around here right now, and I’m not sure Jim is going to be able to handle all of this solitude. The RV show and gem show (which is part of the reason we came here) isn’t until the last week of Jan. into Feb. We have met some of our ‘neighbors’, who have been very friendly and helpful. The 3 ‘neighbors’ that we have met all know each other, and have all been coming here for years. They [View Full Entry]

Friday, 12/9 Well the past few days at the campground have been pretty good, the days have been clear and sunny and in the mid 60’s. The morning air is cool, but the sun is warm….(like when you go to the beach early in the morning). By 11 am, I am in my T-shirt & jeans. It’s really strange to look around and see some people in the pool and some people in their winter parkas! The Oleander, Lantana & Bouganvilla are in bloom and I saw some Petunias for sale outside at Lowe’s. We’ve been following a pretty rigid schedule…..wake [View Full Entry]

We started on our adventure, Sunday, 11/27 at 7:10 am. Jim is the full time driver and maps out our routes. I navigate the maps while we are driving and keep us on course (i.e., advising of any detours, road construction and re-mapping if need be), and keep track of our mileage, expenses & etc. After 2 quick ‘pit stops’ and a 20 min. lunch, we arrived at the Winchester, VA. Super Wal-Mart at 5 pm, where we spent our first night. It was pretty cold and damp…night temps were in the mid 30’s and it poured all night! Monday [View Full Entry]

Just wanted to give a quick hello and put at least something up on the blog. Very quick recap over last few weeks- *Nashville.........I admit it, I like a little bluegrass *New Orleans..........Can't belive the images on TV after just visiting there, very sad. *Memphis..............Graceland.....yeaahhh (imagine being said by the boss from Office Space).....uummm.....(ok, back to my own voice)....cool to see, but the whole time I'm thinking, "Maybe they need to put the King away for a little while." *Chicago (with my dad)......Wrigley Field, enough said. *Notre Dame.............Touch [View Full Entry]
