It was an easy seven hour drive to Atlanta and we drove straight to Dave’s place so we could see Sport and Maya:
Needless to say, the dogs are more than happy to be temporarily residing at Dave’s Pet Resort which includes lots of walks, rides in the car and nap time on the couch. I [...]

We said goodbye to FM and made our way towards Memphis. Even though my sister really lives in Mississippi, I still think of it as going ”back to Memphis” for a visit. It was a LONG drive from Kansas City but FG was a great navigator and read me the mapquest directions so we didn’t make any wrong [...]

We’ve spent the last week in Kansas and had the opportunity to meet up with friends from Germany and also friends from 12 years ago when we lived at Ft. Riley, which is the first duty station FM and I lived once we got married. Surprisingly, a lot has remained the same in both Manhattan and Ft. Riley. [...]

Enjoying the view in Utah
We drove from Eastern Nevada all the way past Denver in one day ~ it took 12 hours and FG was SO good up to about 11.5 hours. I was impressed and a little shocked as to how well she tolerated the long drive.
Even though we had a long way [...]

Running on the Golf Course
We were so excited to get our car and be on our way out of Long Beach. We drove past Las Vegas and stopped in Eastern Nevada to visit with good friends. Unfortunately, what we thought was going to be a relaxing 2-3 day visit turned into a less than 12 [...]

We’re in Long Beach, California to pick up our vehicle which we shipped from Guam. The ship arrived on Sunday, the car was off-loaded on Monday but, because we were required to use a Customs Broker who turned out to be the most inept and unconcerned person I’ve met in a long time, we’re still [...]

Once we finish a trip, we like to recap our favorite things or most memorable times. Hawaii gets its own list.
FM and I agree, we will most remember:
* The friendly locals on both Pohnpei and Kosrae and how little they have yet seem happy.
* Our simple room with the breathtaking oceanview at The Village in [...]

Enjoying the Brothers Cazimero concert on the lawn
A visit to Oahu wouldn’t be complete without seeing one of my favorite couples, P & S. They were originally friends of my parents when we lived in Puerto Rico in the seventies. I was just a kid and their babysitter back then but now I consider them [...]

We went to a different beach each day we were on Oahu ~ there are so many to choose from but, for our first day, we settled on Waimea Bay, on the North Shore, where it’s unswimable for us mere mortals, in the winter months. Waimea Bay is famous for its winter surfing. The day [...]

Diamond Head
Having spent the first 10 years of my life in Hawaii, and having visited family & friends there over all these many years, I always feel like I’m coming “home” when the plane lands in Hawaii.
I love the sights, sounds and,of course, the ocean. Maybe feeling so comfortable is the reason I feel [...]
