OK, we're planning our trip to St. George and you probably know that flying there means flying to Vegas. We're thinking we'll travel Saturday evening and spend the night in Tinseltown. We aren't gamblers, but I thought maybe a show? The first event I noticed was Psycho Las Vegas. Hmmm, had potential until I read …

Time to Look at St. George
"The time has come," the Walrus said,"To talk of many things:Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--Of cabbages--and kings--And why the sea is boiling hot--And whether pigs have wings." - Lewis Carroll Not real relevant to anything, but I like the poem, so I thought I would just put it at the start of this post just for …
Wrapping Up the Northwest
Yes, I know it's late, but I've been traveling life's journey these past few weeks. In that vein, before I get started, check out my new website, especially if you like my writing: Shor Success. So that's what I've been doing instead of wrapping up the trip. Here are my odds and ends, bits and …
Port Townsend Wrap-up
I am home and it is 90 degrees. We were slightly delayed on the way in because of thunderstorms in Chicago, but the pilot did a great job despite the wind. What a climate shock I had when we landed since our last day in Port Townsend was about 60 degrees and misty, rainy, or …
Final Destination: Port Townsend
The only slight hitch we had on the trip was a low tire warning, so when we got up and got going, we headed to a gas station. No problem except that, of course, the guy who pumps gas (you aren't allowed to pump your own in Oregon) thought I was some stupid woman and …
Days 3 and 4: Oregon Coast
We made it to Oregon on Thursday. I always forget that even though San Francisco is Northern California, it is the beginning of the top third of the state. It takes a while to get all the way to Oregon, but we made it. We started the day at Big Lagoon beach in California (but …
Day 3: Beach and Trees
Today we had a leisurely morning. It was misty/rainy and Mahru just needed some extra sleep. We hadn't figured out how to create a real-size bed the first night in the Jucy so she was a little cramped up. We got it now! Every day we learn something new or perfect our packing system. …
Road Trip Day 2
Leftover curry with egg scramble. Yum! Once we got the show on the road, we stopped for coffee, because of all the things we could forget, we forget the coffee cone for the pour-over. Not cool! We went to Point Reyes Station for Bovine Bakery, which had really, really good coffee. Mahru said she’s been …
First Night on the Road
This will all be posted late because connectivity is not happening. So, we picked up the Jucy, threw everything in and took off for Point Reyes. Yes, I know, not a very long trip, but we spent most of the day preparing the house, packing up, and getting ready to leave. We didn’t get the …
The Day Before We Hit the Road
Sunday was mostly a get ready for the trip day, so we went to two very exciting and exotic places: Trader Joe's and Target! Gotta stock up for the driving. Did you know that Trader Joe's now has Takis? The world is complete. One amazing reason people live in the Bay Area is that no …
