Blogs from Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States, North America - page 4

The day started pretty late and we missed the breakfast inhouse. We had a couple of yoghurts and bananas with us and finished these and then headed off around 10.15AM. We arrived at Scottsboro Alabama around 11AM and the drive here was a bit different as we were not on an Interstate but driving through various small middle american towns (still dual carriageways so a good road nonetheless). A bit windy today but mostly clear skies and temperature a bit warmer at around 12 degrees. Today was essentially a travelling day to get to Chattanooga which is back in the Southeast corner of Tennessee, but when we researched the journey we realised that Scottsboro was about half way and has a famous attraction called the Unclaimed Baggage Centre. Essentially all of the lost baggage that is ... read more

The day before our big trip, and it’s snowing in Kunsan, I take my guys out for dinner, Gamjeatong, potato soup. After dinner we get home and pack, we decide to stay up since we have a taxi coming to pick us up at 2:30am to take us to the bus terminal for our 3:00am bus ride to the airport. As we are waiting for the elevator I jokingly say “Let’s not leave any luggage”, last year we (actually it was me) left a bag in front of the airport and did not notice until we were in the check-in line. As the elevator doors close that’s when I realize that I don’t have my wallet….doohh! We arrive at the airport and check in and go through security and customs, once through we go to the ... read more

Hello, all. We're on the road with our camper again, this time bringing our grandson, Ethan, along. As seems to be our habit, we've started another trip with screwups. We were about 2/3 of the way to Chattanooga when Kerry realized we forgot to take the meats we had purchased for our first few days out of the freezer. We will have some nice meals to look forward to when we get back home. And it's no problem to buy more, there are grocery stores on nearly every corner it seems. We got to Chester Frost County Park in Hixson, TN, with plans to camp 2 nights there. It's a beautiful park with lots of water and nice campsites. We picked out a spot and paid for 2 nights. Then when we started to set up ... read more

I am sure many of you that know me well, could tell by the past few postings; but it is official as I am not renewing my contract for next year. There were many factors that played into the biggest one is that we were many years away from ever going to a fully cooking facility, which is my passion so in the Fall I started looking for some new opportunities. I was pleasantly surprised to find several positions of interest; but of all of them, I found Farley's & Sathers to be the most exciting with the greatest opportunity. So I leave for the States for the Holidays on Tuesday (12/23) with a stop over in Germany to visit Jetta, Piage and Liam. I will spend the night with the Kaune's in Frankfurt then fly ... read more
