Off we go on another adventure. Well, ‘adventure’ is a strong word … as we’re going back to Maui … an island we’ve been to a number of times. None the less … a much needed, and well deserved, vacation. Unfortunately, the trip didn’t start out that well … a series of very bad airline

Second half of the vacation is done … this time it was to the “Big Island” of Hawaii (which is named Hawaii, just to confuse us). We did get some snorkeling in … but not as much as we would have liked to. Did a bit of exploring, no geocaching, and very little hiking. The

We’re on the road again … well, more the plane again. For the past week we’ve been vacationing in Hawaii … first stop: Kauai. We’ve been to Kauai in the past … only for a short time, and it was kind of a screwed up vacation. I got a sinus infection the first day. On

Well, it’s been a fairly busy two weeks … Work on the floor is (more or less) progressing. I got the final rank of boards cut and installed. We still need to touch of the paint, install the base molding, quarter round, and carpet threshold. Tuesday we went to village hall and cast our votes

Today we went to Oxford. A quite enjoyable town, full of history and interesting places. Took a bit of time to figure out the bus and train scheduled. Bus fare is quite reasonable (£1 each, Stow to Moreton). Oddly enough the train operators don’t see very concerned about checking tickets. Our first stop was the

Did a 6 mile walk around the area of Stowe on the Wold today. Weather wasn’t great, but we’ve walked in worse. Saw a number of nice landscapes, hopefully some of the pictures will be nice. Only problem was the fact that we neglected to walk much before the trip so our feet hurt when

Were on the next leg if our journey. Currently on the train to Morton on Marsh … Where we’ll take a cab to Stowe in the Wold. We’ve been there before and enjoyed it greatly. We’ll be doing some hikes, and day trips via train to Oxford. London was enjoyable, although we didn’t have enough

Well, we’re off on another adventure. This time to the UK and Ireland. Had to wake up ugly early. But managed to get out of the house on time. Mike, our taxi driver from American Taxi, was great. Even checked the status of our flight when I couldn’t get online with my phone. I got
