Looks like I won't be making the Porsche racing squad anytime soon, even if I thought I was jamming down Hwy 1 from Mendocino to Jenner to get home. The time to do that drive is soon, I'm afraid a 2.0 earthquake or a good storm will be the end of Hwy 1. For now … Continue reading Porsche vs UPS Truck – Hwy 1, California
Spent more time flying last week than doing anything else, it was fun to go up just on a whim, also felt like I was pushing my luck a little on the flying side of things. I'm in a partnership plane, last week I was a passenger taking pictures with 2 of the partners and … Continue reading California Week
Perfect time of year to go down there, great rates with few people and pockets of sunny weather. Summer down there is pretty cold and foggy, the water is always freezing. There have been years I've dropped off everyone at the airport after Christmas and just gone down by myself for a few days. This … Continue reading After Holiday Detox – Monterey
No real writing today, just going to post pretty pics of my year. Or at least the ones that look pretty to me 🙂 January: Drove my son back to Las Cruces, New Mexico through Bisbee, AZ & Manhattan Beach. Tail end is Tahoe. February: My 'hood March: Drove to Seattle to help with my … Continue reading 2019 Photos
This was a good year, started it out with low expectations then ended up on the road quite a bit. This isn't a popular blog, I've been doing it for a few years now as just a hobby. Plus, if I write stuff I think people would read I tend to stay a little more … Continue reading 2019
So ending my surfing career... Not really, I did book a private 2 hour lesson that turned out to be one hour where the guy caught a few waves while I was scared to stand up & fall. I'd been spocking out where I was going to go the whole trip, debating whether I should … Continue reading Mahalo O’hau
I found a great Hawaii routine...Write/run/hotel workout/swim/lunch/shop/swim and possibly a nap? The tours I've booked from the hotel have been great, last night was the Honolulu fireworks on Friday night for a dinner cruise. By shop I mean for a new pair of sandals, not the Prada - Gucci shopping that's here. My OluKai's I … Continue reading Honolulu
The cure for daylight savings time, where it's dark at 4p in California. Plus a pre-holiday chaos unwind to gear up for a full December. Found some good rates for O'ahu's off season so jumped on a plane last minute. Besides, my travel blogs get more likes than any personal stuff I ever write...haha. It's … Continue reading Aloha!!
Looks like we left Istanbul just in time, although it's not anywhere near the border and I still believe it's one of the greatest cities to visit and probably very safe. Who knows though? We were in Egypt maybe ten years ago and I never felt very safe there, so glad we went though! That … Continue reading Aging as a woman
It's 4am here in California, wide awake. Just want to jot a few notes here about how safe I felt in Istanbul and Turkey in general. We were with our new family the rest of the trip, my DIL's parents, brother and friends. We never opened our wallet, they were so generous and sweet. Right … Continue reading Leaving Istanbul & the flight
