So everyone has asked me why I was going to Kansas for a MONTH and why Wichita? My response was its a days drive East and why not? People warned me it would be boring, theres nothing here to do, its flat, the people are awful, theres no hiking and theres nothing but fields of farmland. Well, it is very flat so theres no hiking with elevation but everything else has just not been true. (I think Ive Read on...

Greetings and a Merry Christmas! I am writing this entry after my first venture off the island of Great Britain in nearly two years! Yay – how wonderful, and I feel truly blessed to have been able to do this. Whilst Great Britain is certainly a beautiful island, and I have very much enjoyed exploring more of it these last two years due to the circumstances, it is still an island, and for a trave Read on...
Another gorgeous start to the day and nice and warm again. We actually managed to watch a stream of the movie Broken Arrow last night from you tube and it was interesting to see an old western movie again. The ending was a bit of a surprise but I wont do a spoiler in case anyone wants to watch it but it did have some nice footage of the Sedona area we had traversed a few days ago before the touris Read on...
Und was fr ein Tag es war... Wir starten nach Sautens, wo seine Basis hat. Gebucht ber Jochen Schweizer (Danke nochmals fr den Gutschein!!!) wissen wir nicht, was uns erwartet. Rafting im Allgu haben wir ja schlussendlich doch abgewhlt, weil wir Angst hatten, es knnte zu langweilig werden... Wir wollen: Action!
Unser Rafting Guide Serkhan verspricht uns dann jede Menge davon. Es sei der absolut M Read on...
Nothing much to do today. The van has to be back at 3pm and the place were staying is not that scenic.
We have a late get up. Its apparent that this campsite is the one most people are using for their final night before a flight home as its only eight minutes drive to Kefvalik airport and all the car and van rental places are nearby. Suitcases are strewn all over the grass and people are madly cl Read on...
We packed up Sherri and headed just south of west to the Dingle Peninsula. This area is one of Susans ‘must dos and shed done a lot more research than me, so I was looking forward to it.
The journey skirted round the bottom of Tralee, a great name place, which always makes me think of singing!
We had a brief stop at Inch Beach, a large sandy beach with a surf school and restaurant. The surf s Read on...
The most frequent question Ive gotten from people is what do you pack or what do you have with you and its really difficult to answer without visualizing it. I usually say the basics but what does that really mean? I know people are curious. So I spent this evening packing and had some extra time and took pictures as I went. Normally I cant pack my car until the morning I leave since Coppers crate Read on...
Another gorgeous day, bright and sunny. After a quick breakfast we were off to drive aroundLock Ness. The trip was mostly a very scenic day and not much to blog about. Pictures are worth a thousand words.
· Loch Ness Centre, the Nessie interpretive center. I very interesting look at the legend and science behind Nessie and the Loch itself.
· Urquhart Castle, the site dates back to 500 AD, but Read on...
BRRRRR. We woke this morning in La Crescent, MN to 46 degrees. I had to get out my jeans this morning. It was not a day for shorts, for sure. And as the day began, we were in a shroud of fog, on and off, for quite some time. I guess the chill is in the air, and the fog. But the sun eventually came out and gave us a glorious day. We left our hotel at 8:40 and headed for Winona, population of about Read on...
