Blogs from Everett, Washington, United States, North America - page 2

Just setting up the blog site is making me itch for the airport. I've never been to the S. Carribbean and I am so excited to see the locals, culture, and eat some food! I know that I will enjoy every moment I am gone and dread coming back...but thankfully I have all of you wonderful people to bring me back to reality. :o) I will try not to blog too much before I leave.

The last one was a road trip from Seattle to L.A. for Christmas in 2003 that was extended by a day when snow closures in the Siskiyou Mountains stopped our return journey in Redding, California. I made one brief trip to L.A. in 2004, but our family travel since that Christmas trip has been limited to weekend and holiday trips to see family and friends in Washington and Oregon.

And, most importantly (and joyfully), our ... read more
