Missouri trip plans

Day 2, In Kansas en route to Denver, listening to Bright Eyes (I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning). 16 miles of Kansas left, and thank goodness for that. The person who started calling the middle U.S. the “great” plains was crazy. After 2 hours or so of thinking about it, do you know how many great things I can think of about Illinois, <B>Missouri</B> and Kansas? How about none. Well, Chicago is cool but we were nowhere near there driving through. Despite a very long day starting in Kansas City, KS with nothing but wheat and corn fields to look at for the past almost 6 hours (and that pesky speeding ticket...

Pac NW Summer 2008

36 day trip

02/27 - I realize this trip is just under two months away, however, at work it gets slow in the middle of the day. So to keep my mind busy I have been researching the heck out of this upcoming vacation my family will be taking. On day one we will not be doing anything exciting really except for hitting the road, at this point we will have about 24 hours of driving ahead of <B>us</B>. Google maps says the drive time is around 15 hours, but I've factored in breaks for the essentials. I've got two kids, 12 and 2, so I've also been doing my best to figure out how to keep them happy for this journey. So f...

FLA to CHI 04/08

12 day trip

no way! the ride to memphis was RELAXING. we stopped at lambert's and ate. to me, it wasn't all that great. if we weren't passing through i would not have made a special trip to go there. it was okay. then again...i don't really have a food fetish anymore. next stop was new madrid. here i had visions of the teutonic plates opening up and eating me. instead i just snapped photos from the observation deck. how many people can say they were photographed infront of number 10 island? that's what i thought... made it to memphis and i immediately found a statue of elvis where i had to oogle. so much ...

I have a dream...

4 day trip

1pm Sunday 2nd Sept. Uploaded a couple of test pics, just because I could. Also trying out the journal, even though tomorrow marks the real start of the trip. Haven't started packing yet, but reckon it will all be over and done in about 20mins tonight... famous last words? Plan is to take the absolute minimum possible.. then take a little bit less!.. hmm.. lets try the pics.. better get this working before we're on the road. This was taken by Sports-Pix.com during my recent running of the 2007 Pub 2 Pub. Was a beautiful day starting at Dee Why beach and ending at the Newport Arms Hotel(Pub). C...

Round the world in 28 Days

31 day trip

Mom dropped <B>us</B> off at Lambert airport and had to come back twice - once because she thought we left our portable DVD player in the van (which we didn't) but then we had to call her back after she had arrived to work because Hannah had left her glasses in the van. So after all of that, luckily the airport was not busy so we made it through security pretty quick. The flight from St. Louis to LA was smooth. It took about 4 1/2 hours. Once we arrived at LA, we had to change airlines from American to Northwest which meant that we had to leave security and go to another terminal. LA airport is so bi...

2007 Christmas in Hawaii

16 day trip

This morning I got on a bus at 9am and arrived in St. Louis just before 2:30pm. It was a very relaxing ride: reading and listening to music. The scenery was classic Midwestern Americana: farms galore, highway stretching for miles, tree lines dividing the properties, and billboards just in case you didn't see the three billion other signs for this or that local attraction. Once in town it took me a few minutes to get my bearings. More than enough people, seeing me with three bags of luggage, willing to assist me at a moments notice. "Where're you headin', hon?" The lost and bewildered look very...

St Louis Labor Day 2008

5 day trip

Well, Chuck left for Oahu this morning, I will leave Tuesday. I am so excited I can't do or think anything other than Hawaii. You know ever since 911, I have been a nervous flier (more like afraid). There are those who thought I wouldn't do a 10 hour flight. Well I took a fear of flying course and reknewed my faith... I AM GOING- if it kills me (see I can now joke about it). Good one Chuck, taking me to Hawaii, you knew I couldn't say no. Thanks babe! Geez, I can't wait for Chuck to land, so he can tell me... something. Tomorrow I leave, I am so excited. Chuck is sharing the beauty of the isla...
