So, we’ve been back home for quite a while now settling in to a normal routine. I’ve never done so many home renos and fixits, tiling, caulking, drywall patching, painting, stripping, moving earth and moving it back! Two bathroom renos and a major fence build. Enough, time for something else! Of course we also have […]

Sixtieth in the south
We are repeat customers! In 2018, we were on what was principally a motorbike trip, from Victoria heading to the southern states. I have written about that experience often, you’ll find posts of that trip on this site. We just got back from another trip there (via air travel) at the end of Jan 2019. […]
Found the dog, not the thanks.
We were out for a walk the other day, down to the gym for a workout then our continued walk home the long way around. It wasn’t a terribly warm, about 6-7 degrees c. After a workout at the gym we walked up Mt. Tolmie, and as we did, an enthusiastic dog ran up to […]
We’ve been back home for two weeks, and I’m trying to get this post completed before the experience just turns into a mushy memory. I do need to hurry. Well, what a trip indeed. Our first extended motorbike trip. We are still reflecting, thinking about our adventure, and adjusting to life back home. We spent […]
No Retreating Here.
We’re in the last week of our almost three month motorcycle trip, and according to the plan, I’m spending the end of the trip on an Insight Meditation retreat. Lars is camping and staying nearby. He is a long time practitioner and participated in a similar retreat last fall. So, this one is mine and […]
The jaw dropping continues.
This trip has certainly been one of surprises, when it comes to the vast and amazing landscapes and scenery that we have had the opportunity to see and explore. Lars and I were both totally unaware of how beautiful the views and vistas would be. We had heard about the parks, Zion, Bryce etc, but… […]
Simplicity…
We’ve been travelling in one way or another for just less than two months. On motorbikes for the majority, with a break for two weeks flying Las Vegas to New Orleans and back. We’ll be away for another month-six weeks before before getting home. We are both very much enjoying this lifestyle. I think we’re […]
People!
We have met some amazing and wonderful people on our road trip. Motorcyclists often seek one another out, and there’s a kinship of a shared hobby or activity that connects people. We have been sharing contact info with folks, and if we have met you, we truly would love to hear from you again. Keep […]
Mississippi, Katrina, Nola
We left New Orleans yesterday, just closing out our trip in the southern states. Ocean Springs Mississippi was our end destination, before we did a turnaround to begin the long journey home. How can I say, we have had just a wonderful time. We stayed with Marie and Ray and their super hyper but terribly […]
UnVegas
I’m writing this post, and maybe one other, a few years after our trip. We’re re-organizing the website, and moving photos out of a third party site, and into here. So, I’m inserting this little write up, mainly to profile the camping and photos when we stayed nearby in Lake Mead National Park at the […]
