As soon as Rob got home from work, we packed up the car and headed toward Atlanta. We decided at the last minute on Thursday to make this little weekend jaunt. I booked a hotel right across from the aquarium and that is where we were to stay.
It is a 3 hour drive from Kingston to Atlanta and we made it with little trouble to our hotel. We stayed at the Hyatt House, a seven story hotel downtown At Read on...
Got your attention there. Today was spent in the very capable hands of Captain Kaylee and First Mate Tammy on board the Viewfinder, a small vessel that is part of Major Marine Tours. Our destination today was Northwestern Glacier and all the sites along the way during our 8.5 hour tour. I chose to sit outside so I didnt have to wear a mask the entire trip (although the mask did double as a way to Read on...
Chris had a work event in Banff, Alberta so I took the opportunity to tag along. This was my first trip to Alberta so I was quite excited to go!
I arrived Wednesday afternoon and had the rest of the day to myself so headed into the town centre to do some reconnaissance for the ‘post Shopify part of our stay. The people at the Info Centre were super helpful so worth a visit to chat with them to Read on...
For me it was always a lifetime ambition..I was always reading all books available about this Africa overland trip as well as following all the riders that have done it before on social media. I think every adventure biker wants to do it at least once in their lifetime. I have planned it twice before, but every time something came up. So this time I was adamant to do it.

Maybe it is best to use at least some scientific information to have the best grilling results. Here are a few: Season your meat hours before actually placing it on the grill. Dont be afraid to grill Read on...
We are heading for Bilbao but as it would be a long drive we decide to break the journey about half way at Oviedo. (note cant set Oviedo as a location for this entry so have picked Llanes on the coast). We chose Oviedo for convenience and because we find a reasonably priced apartment there. Doing a little checking I think, as this is a large place, I should also be able to find some BMW somewhere Read on...

Our next overnight stop was a small out of town aire in the tiny village of Bram . It was a decent site with automatic barries , a dump, free water, a fishing lake and was very quiet . We shared our night stop with two others. It had no infrastructure to speak of and we were only using it as a nightstop.
Leaving the site we headed off to the town of Elne or Elna depending if you used French or th Read on...
Just over 10 years ago, some guy had the idea to build a new golf destination on the Black Sea in Bulgaria. They brought in Gary Player and Ian Woosnam to design 3 courses, the classics Lighthouse as well as Black Sea Rama golf courses...and the way more spectacular, Gary Player designed, Thracian Cliffs.
