Our magic carpet for our road trips is a 2006 Saab 9-3 convertible with 120k miles on it. It is a joy to drive, especially in the wide open spaces with the top and windows rolled down. It is fast, hugs the road and accelerates like a dream. We love driving it. I am always …

Day trip
My plan was to write this post this afternoon, but we got distracted by a last-minute day trip to Milwaukee with my brother and his family. The Mets were in town and we figured, Why not? The weather was beautiful. Can't go wrong with 80ish degrees and sun especially when it's been 50 up to …
A whole raft of thoughts
While Sue is heads-down planning her trip to London, I have turned my eye to the whitewater rafting portion of our trip to the Southwest. Who knew that doing an overnight whitewater rafting trip would require a 13-page preparatory document? I've seen articles in Scientific American less detailed than this. The only thing that seems …
Planning on My Own
This London trip with my nephew is going to be great; I know it. It's just so different once again planning on my own. I've gotten used to having Steven to leap on my crazy ideas and take them to the next step (I've never met a crazy idea that couldn't be crazier...oh yeah...it is …
Next Up … London

We’ll Take It Easy On Travel Day
Tuesday was saying goodbye to Maui and aloha to Honolulu day. We had an exhausting 25-minute flight (We arrive an hour and 30 minutes before the flight to drop off the car and check the bags...so all in the wait at the airport was 3 x the flight time) after deciding we liked Colleen's so much …
Equilibrium Attack
Yesterday’s hike was once again amazing. We slogged through mud to reach Waimoku Falls in in the Kipahulu area of Haleakala National Park. At just 2 miles, it’s a no problem hike for almost anyone if you don’t mind getting a little mucky. Ok, maybe a little more than a little. The trail is muddy, …
