Yup
That's what I guessed it as the next day after I looked at the bird book. Thanks, Joel.

Crested Auklet? ... no
Not a Crested Auklet ... it is an American Black Oystercatcher

I just looked up "geocacheing"...
as your blogs had mentioned this several times and I had never heard of it. Sound interesting, but I don't have a smart phone.

A GPSr works, too.
We started geocaching in Minnesota's state parks, which actively encourage it, and loan out GPSrs for people to try it. It gets us outside and brings us to interesting places.

Cruisers are a different breed of traveler...
if you can call them that. We only cruise where it is difficult to see any other way...Alaska Inside Passage and the South Pacific islands. We will likely do the Caribbean, but only to achieve my goal of traveling to 100 countries...your cruise went to four countries...I'm at 74. Anyway, London is a perfect destination for a real out of country experience...not too different, but full of everything. It was one of our favorite destinations when we lived in Europe...Rome being #1. Go for it!

Hey, you passed right by where we live...
Woodland Park, CO, just 15 miles east of Florrisant Fossil Beds...which reminds me, I just missed the Grand Opening of their new visitor center last weekend...rats! Stop by the next time you pass through. By the way I spent a very pleasant summer in northern Minnesota in 1971 and then a camping trip that included Bear Head State Park just west of Ely in 2001.

Not Sure When
Our trip to the four corners in 2011 was fantastic and we would love to go back. Of course, there are so many places we would love to go back to, and I won't be retired for at least another 20 years.

We've been to Alaska twice, but never driven there...
besides the long drive, I've been concerned about the road conditions. Do you have any encouraging words, as my wife really wants to drive there someday?

The roads are better there than in Minnesota.
Aside from a couple sections, the roads were really not bad, certainly better than many roads around here. It's beautiful, so it goes really fast. We did up to 800 miles/day, but met many people who did 200/day. The book, can't remember the name, is an absolute necessity.

I just ran across your blog...
We have been members of Travelblog.org for about the same time so I'm glad to have made the connection. I can tell that you are passionate travelers and love to take your kids everywhere just as my wife and I did/do. I just hope that someday you will try foreign countries. I hope our travels will inspire you. Let me know if you need any advice!

We finally did!
I didn't blog it b/c I didn't want to pay for access, but we did finally get out of the country. It was a cruise, which is not the same as actually flying to another country and doing what we want, but it was a start. We went to Cozumel, Belize, Isla Roatan and Grand Cayman. We met people who had done the same cruise half a dozen times, but that sounds boring. Our youngest wants to go to London, so we may be looking at that as our next big trip. Who knows?

I'm sure you are right about the emergency room bill...
In March my son and I were in China when he became ill and ended up in the emergency room for 6 hours. The total cost of the emergency room , including all tests, medicine, IV and 5 doctors including the chief doctor and the heads of several departments was less that $30. Next time get sick in China!

Looks familiar...
This bridge looks surprisingly like our old Highway 99 bridge in St. Peter that is still in use.

Welcome to my travel blog! My husband Jeff and I waited six years after getting married before taking a vacation. It might have had something to do with being poor graduate students, or perhaps that we drove a 1991 Geo Metro. Anyway, we've tried to make up for it since. By the end of August 2008, he and I had been in the 48 contiguous states, as well as Hawaii. Along the way, we added Liam (2004) and Cole (2006), who had seen 47 and 46 states, respectively, by the end of October 2008. Eventually, we hope to travel outside of the United States. While we adore Canada, it barely counts as a... full info
