Thats what we think of South Carolina! The trek through it seems so long and boring. No billboards to read..nothing but big pine trees line the route. Cory took route 26 east to south95 is just as boring and bumpier! The old RV jumps and rattles with every rough patch he hits. No wonder all the screws loosen up and the metal clasps break! Our new friends we met at Red Bay in May had a liquid susp Read on...
Greetings in this, my third and final entry on my lovely little break on the Isle of Man. I shall relate my adventures on my third full day on the island, along with the day of my journey home. There is lots more to tell, and I visited even more of the island on my last two days.
After another good nights sleep in the annex, I walked again, this time only 20 minutes to a small village called The Read on...
Since it is our last day in Twizel, we wanted to go a little further afield in the other direction near Omarama. We had been told that the new part of the A2O bike trail was one of the best parts of the trail. It is new and has been purpose built by Cycle Journeys to cover the area from Sailors Cutting through to Otematata where you used to have to cycle along the road. Also, the path from Omarama Read on...
Day 95 and I have covered more than 282 miles under lockdown . I am amazed at how many miles I have walked and got nowhere . Start off from home and end up at home. As I walked I wondered how many miles it was around the Earth (At home checked tinterweb the oracle and it told me 24, 901 - so only another 24,619 more miles to walk and I can say I have circumnavigated the globe by foot ). Not far th Read on...
From the Points Guy: The Transportation Security Administration has seen a huge surge in the number of travelers enrolled in its expedited security checkpoint screening program — through TSA PreCheck directly and through other programs like Global Entry. There are no signs of the trend slowing, either. In fact, the agency wants more travelers to enroll.
At the beginning of 2022, there were 27.4 Read on...
This is what my mum used to say to me in order to persuade me that I had limited choices in life. My mums interpretation is far from what Rousseau meant by this quote, but if we hold my mums dark interpretation of this view that we have limited possibilities in life, then we will create a life of limited possibilities.
I judge from this period of travelling after having endured both short and lon Read on...

The work continues to get things on Tsamaya. We had been noticing that the water pump was not working correctly as it seemed to be leaking air so the pump would turn on even when we werent turning on the water. The water pump is in a very awkward location to get to easily so even though Bob could do it, we are getting smarter in our old age and picking and choosing the jobs that we farm out to ot Read on...
We HAD eagerly set off for our destination, Kaltukatjara (Docker River), where we HAD planned to stay 2 nights.
50km from Yulara and with Kata Tjuka at our backs we photographed the road signs to the WA Border and Kaltukatjara and the road ahead knowing that 95% of the over 1000km to Laverton would be unsealed. The road that we covered today proved to be worse than what we had heard. Bone shaking Read on...
The train from Madrid clocked at a steady 300km/hr, turning a 3+ hour drive into an hour and ten minute ride through the torrid Spanish plains.
Walking from the station, I saw a digital bank thermometer that read 51 degrees (124 degrees Fahrenheit). But it felt like nothing close to as hot as other parts of Spain Ive visited, since it was very dry and breezy. Maybe I just prepared myself well for Read on...
