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 …
Hiking and Wondering
Saturday was beautiful and sunny. I loved it. No jacket necessary. Finally. We headed up to Point Reyes National Seashore after dropping the dog at day care. No dogs allowed on national park trails and Bijan has some separation anxiety. I mention this because we had to be back by 7 p.m. to pick him …
First Full Day
We were so busy yesterday, I didn't have a chance to write, but I"m still feeling the effects of our hike. Did you flatlanders know that there are these huge mounds of land called hills and they are harder to walk up? Yes, it's true. Yesterday we went to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area …
Guess What I Found? West Coast Part 1
So, loyal readers (all 4 of you), remember the lead up to our Costa Rica trip? Remember the drama of my lost passport. Well ... I found it. It was in the secret top compartment of a backpack I haven't used since we went to Morocco two years ago. That never even occurred to me. …
Ugh, I’ve Been Lazy
OK, I've been less that inspired these last few weeks. It's tough to get motivated when your big, summer road trip is on the back burner and it's 55 degrees and drizzling. You'll be thrilled to know that I'm back! My trip to the Bay Area and Pacific Northwest begins Thursday and I will be …
Where’s the zero?
We apologize, we haven't been writing for the last few weeks. I would like to claim that there are good reasons, but really there haven't been. It was my birthday a few weeks ago, then Sue's was this week, we had a bunch of stuff to do around the house and work, as always is …
Summer (Fall) Road Trip 2.0?
Well, the plan is up in the air again. And I don't mean we are going to fly instead of drive. Although...maybe we are going to fly instead of drive. Our whole idea of using a family wedding as a touchstone to a Canadian/East Coast road trip may be kaflooey. I hate it when reality …
Road Trip!
The summer is soon upon us and we are thinking about getting in the car and driving. The Saab is still in good shape (for a 13 year old car) and so we are getting into planning mode. As Sue told you in her last post, I have started a new job where, horrors of …
Waterworld
You may have noticed (for our few loyal readers--thank you) that we didn't write anything last week. We intended to and as much as we like thinking and talking about travel, there are times when it just falls to the bottom of the list. (Shocking, I know.) Those times are now: school year ending (phew!) …
