Sunday, 11 September 2005 Trump Hotel and Casino Gary, Indiana Day Two. Time 2000. Janet and I had another volatile misunderstanding. She IS not feeling well, not at all, and it all works on her mind and emotions, as well as her physical strength. And I get in a snit, and don’t help. But we finally got on the road. Today, all we have done is drive. From Chillicothe, Ohio, to here. Gary, Indiana is at the absolute bottom of Lake Michigan, and really, Gary, Hammond, Indiana, and Chicago are all one big megalopolis. You go from one to another without realizing it unless you actually see the signs. We got in here about 1900. Tomorrow the plan is to visit the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, which has the former German U-505, the ... read more

Bye Bye cruising life Bye Explorer of the Seas Day full of goodbyes. We had an early morning start this morning and were amongst the first set of people to be able to disembark the Ship at 7AM. There was a bit of delay with passing through Immigration because they were having computer problems. That gave us a little bit more time to say our goodbyes and thank you’s to Christie. Since Laura and I were sharing the same last name and the same address we were able to fill in one immigration form. Technically Laura and Alice were in transit and would be flying into Seattle and then driving home to Vancouver on the same day. I was going to be flying into Atlanta and hanging out there for a couple more weeks. But since ... read more

Here is a short summary of the past couple of days.... 9/8/2005 We left Memphis, TN at 7:00am and began our drive through Arkansas to our destination of Oklahoma City. We followed I-40 West across the entire state of Arkansas. Nothing eventful happened as we didn't stop for any tourist type activities. We did notice some 'different' location names....like "Toad Suck State Park". Makes you wonder how they came up with such a name in the first place. We arrived in Oklahoma City around 3:00pm and had no problem finding Ivan's house. Thank goodness for internet directions LOL. We were all so tired we didn't do much else except visit and catch up. 9/9/2005 Kim and I needed some emergency 911 work done on our hair. Luckily Ivan could squeeze us in at his shop. (He ... read more

Na Scottsdale vertrokken we richting Sedona (Arizona) waar we twee dagen zouden blijven. Onderweg gestopt bij Montezuma's Castle. Een van de langst bewaarde indianen woningen in de rotsen (uit 1100 ofzo). Sedona is echt een prachtige omgeving. We zijn helemaal omgeven door gigantisch mooie rode gebergten. (bekend van Malboro reclame posters). Echt heel bizarre en bijna onwerkelijk. Nu gaan we ontbijten (heb dus hier toevallig draadloos internet op de kamer) en na het ontbijt gaan we voor twee dagen naar de Grand Canyon. Yechoehoehoeehoehoe!!! Zal wel een inspannend ritje gaan worden, want we moeten het colorado plateau gaan beklimmen????? Groetjes, Ramon en Jacinta (PS Aan de vorige log zijn ook meer foto's toegevoegd).... read more
