What harebrained trip is she up to now?

It's time to announce what I have been up to. The next trip is going to be very interesting. I have been reticent to post as everything kept falling apart. I was afraid of jinxing it. But I leave on Wednesday. Two days!

Some of you know where I am going, the rest of you are going to have to follow along, or look at the clues I am giving. I am not being coy, just trying to add to the excitement. Please do not post the answer in the comments.

Remember that I take my job as your designated traveler seriously. I hope that you will post questions, quests, ideas, etc. in the comments or send me email. I make no promises, but I will try.

I have plans of doing a daily update, but you know about plans and such.

Please check in here often starting Wednesday 8 November. I do not know how much I will be able to post, or how much focus to write I will have, but I have great expectations. I do not know if I will be up to doing the mailchimp thing. I do know that I will not be posting much on fBorg. I am not sure of how much access and how much focus I will have.

Here is the first clue:

This is where the ships currently are. I will be on the G Expedition. Our itinerary is dependent on what ever Mother Nature throws at us.

When all is said and done, I have a lot of commentary on finding and using travel agents and tour agencies. I have cobbled together a great team that has accomplished getting me to this point. And that has been a journey in and of itself. But, like I said I am still afraid that I am going to jinx it.

Knock on wood. Fingers crossed, OMG this is really happening!

Piorama Bag Review

I am always seeking the perfect bag, so I was delighted to do a review on this duffel. I hate reviews that feature "The Unboxing". I really don't care how it arrives, and I don't care how pretty the features are. I want to know how will it preform in the field, especially under stressful conditions. Just FIY I did not receive any free product from them, but they did give me a discount. The opinions here are my own, and the photos are mostly my own. Piorama has designed a duffel bag that collapses into itself. This allows the bag to be configured for under seat, overhead, or checked sizes. As my trips often have more stuff in one direction than the other, I had high hopes for this bag. I ordered two different styles the A10 and the S3. I got the A10 for myself. It is their middle of the road bag. The next step up is the B3 , which is more back pack than I am able to use at almost 70 years old. As far as I can see, there are two major...

Morris in the Borders

Imagine you are driving in far rural Midwales. Narrow, hedge lined roads with barely enough room for two cars to pass in the wide spots. You come around a curve to the top of a hill. You reach a cross roads, you find a group of mad men, in tatters, brandishing sticks. Women with hankies frolicking. Ignoring the threat of rain. The Bettwys Triangle Art and Music with The Shropshire Bedlams and Martha Rhoden's Tuppenny Dish. What can you do, but park and watch . An old church, with beautiful carved headstones. The rain held off until the last crack of the sticks then it poured.

Redwood Sky Walk at the Sequoia Park Zoo

On my recent trip to Eureka, Ca., I got a chance to visit the new attraction at the Sequoia Park Zoo: The Redwood Sky Walk with Kay and our new trail buddy Nancy. I am more than a little amped about this. When I went to the zoo in 2018 they had just announced the plans for the Sky Walk. I had many strong but conflicting feelings about it. Would it be glitter and glam? Would the trees suffer? Would it be accessible for me, or worse be so overly accessible that it was ridiculous? I am pleased to find that this new feature is going to take this small town, pleasant zoo, and make it a world class exhibit. And I am going to encourage all to make the stop as they do the Highway 101 trek north. And don’t give me that “It’s too steep for me” or “I’m afraid of heights.” No matter what you think your limitations are, I hope you will give this a try. There is a web site that you may or may not want to visit first. It has info on the zoo, but the SkyWalk part it ...
