A rainy day in (not Georgia)… Waiting for the rain to turn into snow, as promised by the weatherman, buttoned up in the cozy motorhome, we are parked for the next two weeks in one of my favorite RV parks, Rocky Bayou State Park in Niceville, Florida. Phil is catching up on DVDs and email, [...]
We arrived last night at the Isleta Lakes Resort, on the Isleta Pueblo reservation. This is a very elegant place! Thanks to all the gamblers at the casino for subsidizing the rest of the attractions The RV park has a couple of small lakes, next to the Rio Grande river about 10 miles south of [...]
We’re driving across New Mexico on interstate highway I-40. The new AirCard is not getting much of a signal, but eventually web pages do load, usually. The router’s “Cellular Signal Strength” inicator has been stuck on one bar for a long time now. If you’re interested in the gory details, see my techie blog. In [...]
One of the songs on my iPhone’s iPod app is by Willie Nelson, Waltz Across Texas (with You). We are going to get moving west again tomorrow, but for now we’re still south of Princeton, Texas, northeast of Dallas, at the same park we stayed at last year in the middle of Lake Lavon. We [...]
We stayed at the state park in Florida a day longer than planned, since Phil had develped a cough and sinus headache. Today he feels better, and now we are half way across Mississippi, about an hour from tonight’s stop in Slidell, Louisiana. Slidell isn’t where I’d picked to stop when planning this trip, but [...]
Less than a week to go till Christmas, and I’m busy procrastinating the last few tasks left to do before company starts arriving. James & his family will get here Tuesday evening, so that’s my deadline. Naturally, I’m doing all kinds of other stuff to avoid my responsibilities. Right now I’m having lots of fun [...]
I’m overwhelmed! Not only did Piet have me listed as an official visitor on the IAS website, he had my name posted on an office door and gave me keys to the room as well! Phil and I appreciated the use of the computer and WiFi there yesterday, and will take advantage of it again [...]
We have 123 miles to go to The Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. My friend from Second Life, Piet Hut (Pema Pera in Second Life) is a professor there. He arranged for us to park right on the campus, so we are going to drycamp there for the remainder of this week. [...]
We’re at a rest area just barely in Pennsylvania, with about an hour left to go before stopping for 4 or 5 days on New Stanton. The weather is perfect, and the drive is beautiful. It can’t get much better than this! I was hoping to be able to add a photo to this entry, [...]
Not too surprisingly, we will not be leaving St. Joe till tomorrow. We could have gotten out of here today, but John next door needed Phil’s help to get the last bit of paperwork done to register the car we sold him. It eavened out, though, because he then helped Phil carry the big wooden [...]
