Blogs from Stamford, Connecticut, United States, North America

Geo: 41.0516, -73.5423Weather 80s and sunny We left the great city of Boston today with plenty of sunshine. We set off for Plymouth and Cape Cod only to realize it is Saturday. Everyone appears to go to Cape Cod on a sunny weekend. We decided against it since it would be more than an hour off of our route already. We rerouted to Rhode Island, specifically New Port to the Cliff Walk. We were taking a chance on a suggestion from one of Paul's clients. It was an hour to the coast off-route to Connecticut but that is ok because we just have the road ahead of us. We stopped at the Capital of RI first. Took a peek and on our way.New Port is at the bottom of RI across two bridges and is the ... read more

So it all happened very quickly. The one moment we were New Mexicans and the next thing you know we had both taken jobs across the country in Stamford, CT. There's many reasons for our move, but one of the many reasons were the possibility to be able to travel more easily and see more things over weekend trips or take a long weekend and fly to Europe. So hopefully we'll be able to post some more "international" blogs from now on forward. Well Connecticut was kind of brand new to both of us. We have never been there before, we never went there before driving out and we really had no clue what we were getting ourselves into (so we packed our belongings in a U-Haul truck and drove cross country and within the first ... read more

12Aug07 - Rode from Stamford to Providence (Airport) As I packing up my motorbike infront of the Westin (Diehard) Hotel, I chatted with two grannys sitting on bench waiting for their ride. They gave me suggestions on where to visit when I ride to Cape Cod since there are return there from a shopping trip in New York City. Then the converstation got wierd: Granny1: "Say, you quite tall and handsome" Granny2: "Mmm Hmm" Me: "Uh, thanks, that's very nice of you" Granny1: "Yes, tall, young and strappin'" Granny2: "Mmm Hmm" Me: {Ewh!, Must pack faster!!!} Granny1: "You should meet my grand daugther, I think she be quite interested in a fella like you" Granny2: "Mmmm" Me: "Or really, that's very thoughtful of you" {Must Get out Of Here Now!} Granny1: "Oh, there they are now" ... read more

Ann here -- a trip would not be complete without losing something... lost my cell phone on the train somewhere between here and Manhattan on the evening of the 4th (after the fireworks)... I've had the "pleasure" of learning how the lost and found works... actually, Phil and Mary knew (from experience) how it worked... everything that's left on the train is boxed up and sent to Grand Central Terminal. I reported it missing on the morning of the 5th... Phil is going to be the Dear brother that he is and attempt to find it next week in the box of cell phones at Grand Central... 1 in x shot of finding it, but we're feeling pretty lucky since the whole Rush ticket thing. So, the point of this blog entry is to let you ... read more
