Pomp and Circumstance and a Holiday's End
Jul 02, 2011 10:11 AM
When we left you last it was a Wednesday evening, and V and I were wrapping up our three days in Edinburgh resting up for what was ahead. Thursday was a travel day, and travel we did! Our morning started off with one last big Scottish breakfast at the hotel, a short, slightly soggy walk to the bus stop, and a ride to the Edinburgh airport where we hopped on our plane to Amsterdam, the land of tulips and windmills. It was a homecoming for V, but for me a brand new adventure in a brand new country! With me bum knee though and two airports and a train station to navigate our way through our goal for the day was to simply make it to our room for the night more or less in one piece! Read More...

A Cottage On The Isle Of Skye

So that Monday morning was the beginning of our 8th day in Scotland. Once again we packed up our bags and loaded our car, got out the maps and our set of directions where we could easily lay our hands on them, pulled out onto the road saying "Left, left, left, left..." and we were off!

Hello,
hello! It’s a New Year again! Funny how that just keeps on
happening year after year, huh? Well, this year is off to a
particularly good start for me. I spent part of my holiday season
in London with my friend V, and we had a really good time. It was
great!Best Holiday Ever.
This is I think the 3rd time now.... Read More...

Southern Comfort
Feb 28, 2007 04:45 PM
Another place I would love to visit someday in the not too distant future is Savannah, Georgia. I can't remember when it was I first became curious about the city, but I do remember reading a long time ago that Savannah was one of the few large cities of the Deep South to escape major damage during the Civil War. Because of this good fortune much of the original ante-bellum architecture still stands in the city along with many of its original parks and public squares and of course many ancient and majestic Live Oak trees covered with spanish moss. It seems the perfect place to take a small step back in time and experience a little southern charm.

The Land Of Fire And Ice
Aug 05, 2006 01:23 PM
I
always seem to notice these travel stories about Iceland. It's been
on my mind for many a year now. Perhaps one day soon I'll see it
for myself!

Iceland: Tolkien-esque Adventure in the 'Land of Fire and Ice'
By Josh Roberts
Three days into a trek across the volcanic highlands of southwest Iceland, it occurs to me: This is Tolkien's Middle-earth. With its obsidian lava fields and steaming hot springs, its moss-covered foothills and treeless valleys, Iceland is Mordor one minute and the Shire the next. It has a magical quality to it, this Land of Fire and Ice as if it has been plucked from the imagination and placed here Read More...

North Carolina

I've been to North Carolina only a few times, and then just to the Raleigh and Nags Head areas. One of these days though I'm going to spend some time there exploring because I know there are lots of really beautiful parts of that state.
My cousin Torrie moved there a few years back, and she loves it. She sent me this picture a week or so ago. She snapped it from her front porch after getting home from work one afternoon. All I can say is "wow".
James Taylor mentions North Carolina in several of his songs, usually with a note of longing to it. Well, after seeing Torrie's view from her front porch, I think JT has it right.
Happy Fat Tuesday, New Orleans!

Route 66 - The Mother Road
Feb 19, 2006 11:00 AM
Lore Drives Lure Of This Road
Route 66 remains a rite of passage for the adventurous. The "mother road" delivers a mother lode of vintage kicks and oddities. From Chicago to Los Angeles, Americans know Route 66 as a bygone road evoking a simpler era of road trips and song. But Karen Macaulay and Andy Garrett say Europeans like them still get their kicks retracing a decommissioned highway that now exists officially only in tour guides and on the occasional brown historical marker.
U.S. Route 66, a more than 2,400-mile link between the nation's second and third most populous cities, is hardly a distant memory for many. Read More...
