Arizona I moved to Arizona from Minnesota in 2004, Although I miss Minnesota, there are very few states as unique as Arizona. Sorry if I am being to partial! Enjoy your trip! (great pictures)
Simply amazing These pictures are beautiful! I am learning a lot about this country through your travel blog, and it has been fun taking this journey "with you" on the road! I feel I am starting to get the travel bug now. Thanks for sharing (very fine writing, I might add). Happy Holidays!

Happy Thanksgiving to you . . . a bit late. Paul's family and Brian were here so it was an enjoyable couple of days. The 22 pound bird fed us for 2 meals, plus there is still some in the freezer. We're enjoying your blogs and look forward to the next one. And Texas lasts forever. We've had a dusting of snow and Fri. may bring freezing drizzle. We will head to Minneapolis sometime that day headed for Linnea's reception. Safe travels and may you find plenty of ***** campgrounds.
Happy Holidays! I'm a little late to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving so I'm opting for being early with Christmas :) Sounds like you two are having a great time and Wayne is doing his usual great job with the Blog - can hear the surf!!!! Stay safe and stay in touch!!
Happy Thanksgiving! It sounds like you both are having a great time seeing the country and really enjoying it! It is warm here, 57 degrees, and lovely. We wish you both a very happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving Glad to hear travels are going well. Hope you are enjoying retirement, Karen! You must have started out on the road right after the last day of work. All went well in Mexico and we had a great time. Hope you find some turkey & apple pie for Thanksgiving. We'll be with Harold at the farm.

Initial Trip You guys look like you're having a good time. That was a very insightful and interesting blog. Keep up the good work and continue to enjoy yourselves. Look forward to your next entry. Take care and safe journey!
Travelling Hi there...
Sounds like a fabulous time (she said with envy!) We just had friends that stopped and stayed at the Georgia Island and they loved it!! Glad you are doing well and do enjoy. Sorry you missed the snow here...Karin
Fun! Looks like you guys are having a great time! I thought about you when it was snowing here on Monday! Safe travels and I can't wait for your next blog entry! Hug Karen for me.
WHAT FUN Sounds like you had a wonderful time!! Wayne, you do such a great job of writing the blog - including some history/background. Can't wait to see you in person and catch up - and that's just around the corner!! Janie
Welcome Home! Welcome back, Wayne and Karen! Hopefully you are now catching up on some lost sleep, but oh so worth it! Wayne, you should be a travel writer - this was a fun way for me to "travel" in March, you did a great job describing your trip! We enjoyed it very much. I always wanted to travel by Amtrak and oh yes, take a cruise! This looked like a good one to be on. The pictures were beautiful.
Now you can enjoy the spring weather we are having in Wisconsin!
Take care,
Ann
Sailing the Tom Bigbee Hello,
My brother left for the coast around 7 days ago left from nashville. He is sailing around the world. Have you heard about this? And get this he is by himself.. Just want to know your thoughts.. He emails me every other day he is only able to go 1.2 knots i think with his motor. any comments would be appreciated.
Mississippi River My husband and I have rented a houseboat for traveling the upper Mississippi for a week. What were some of your favorite stops? Are there some MUST SEE places?
Another way to sail the beauty Grenadines I just returned from chartering a 42 cat. in the Caribbean. While a good time was had, it was a bit a work. The alternative is Island Windjammers' 101 tall ship (www.islandwindjammers.com). Only 12 guests on board, so not the big crowds of the cruise ships. It sails from Grenada weekly to the Grenadines. There have been many, many positive reviews of the ship, it's crew and the food by the media as well as the guests. Check it out.
I've always wanted to do a sailing trip! Sounds like you're having an amazing time! My blog is looking for travel tips, photos, etc, to share. If you have the time, check it out at dirty-hippies.blogspot.com, or email us at dirtyhippiesblog@gmail.com. Continued fun on your travels!

Trip home Hi guys, Welcome home. Your trip back from Florida sounded so familiar. It was the same route I took back and forth from the Southeast, to Wisconsin, for about 8 years. Sounded like a great adventure, one that most people never get to do.
Lorraine and I would like to take in the spring "icebreaker" meeting, but don't know for sure, as it is so far to drive home after the evening get together. Roger
Great Trip Wayne,
Thanks for the travel blog. We realy enjoyed the commentary and the pictures. We are envious of the trip. Hope you had a nice Easter when you returned!!

Know the r.r bridge well We were about one foot too big for the bridge. We called for help from the people with the barrels but they didn't show up. We had to do it ourselves. I took some time, and with one of us on the shore at the bridge we made it. The problem was, when the person pulled on the mast top from shore, of course, the boat wanted to follow. Welcome back, Larry
During the next several years I hope to take a number of trips and wish to share my adventures with family and friends. Some of these trips will be short in duration and distance and some a little longer. Some will be by land, some by sea, some by air and some by a combination of these. I will be traveling alone or with Karen or other family member and some trips will be with friends. When I travel with Karen this will no longer be MY blog, but OUR blog. Sit back, relax, bare with me and enjoy.
