Our departure from the U.S. this time included closing the book on one part of our life that has been there since we met. In 2009, long before I met Sue, I bought a very shiny, dark red Saab 93 convertible. It was first my, then our go to car. Sue had a very sensible …

Summer Sped By
OK, I admit that I did have a bit of time in which I could have been writing a blog, but we've just been living summer life. An uneventful drive from Chicago to Maryland kicked off the final segment of our U.S. tour before we return to Valencia. We took two days for the drive, …
Four Years and Counting
It has now been exactly four years since we kicked off The Happy Idiots tour by traveling to catsit for Seuss in Paris. Wow, time flies when you are having fun. We have done so much, seen so many incredible places , learned a few (or maybe a lot) of lessons the hard way and …
May May Be Our Busiest Month
The month of May is done and boy it has been a busy one. We returned to U.S. on the 27th of April and started with a visit at my mother’s place in Florida. I was lucky enough to bring a cold that turned into bronchitis with me. We arrived while my mother was in …
A weekend in Granada
We are slackers. We haven’t written a blog since New Year's. Sorry. We didn’t do very much the weekend before last. A short – 8 mile – death march to the beach and back, watching American football and generally being lazy. Last weekend we made up for it. We had a three-day weekend because my …
Here We Go Again
I sit here writing this in the home of my wonderful mother-in-law (yes, I can always use more points for excellent sucking up) where we are once again leaving the Saab. The next leg of our adventure awaits. You probably know the plan: Copenhagen to Berlin to Valencia to Paris to Valencia to Kenya to …
Baseball Has Been Very Very Good to Me
Or: Planes, Trains and Automobiles We spent a long weekend in Boston and New York, visiting with friends and family and going to baseball games. Sue and I flew to Boston last Thursday and quickly settled into our hotel in Cambridge. Thursday night we had dinner with Sue’s college roommate, Terryl and Terryl’s husband, Rob. …
Two years and counting
A recap of our first two years on the road.
Not the Most Enjoyable Trip
This weekend we moved from Chicago – our home for the last six weeks – to Washington – our home for the next four months. Sue and I usually love a good, long summer drive. Play suitcase tetras with our stuff to get everything in the less than spacious Saab trunk, slather on the sunscreen, …
The Old and the Restless
Gratuitous bear statute pic for the granddaughter. Somewhere near the DC zoo, but I don't think it has anything to do with the zoo. Surprise! We're restless in our apartment in Baltimore, so Friday we went to DC to wander around, but first we had a very important errand. We visited the Polish consulate to …
