Well I’m off on another adventure and this one will be my longest yet. I have only just arrived on Kea Island in Greece. Kea is devoid of tourists primarily as there is little here for tourists. Actually I am told that this island is the place that a lot of Greeks travel to when…
After Tonya arrived in Brisbane and we visited the “Bottle Shop.” for bottles of course we then made our way into the hills beyond Brisbane. It seemed at some point that we might have been lost. But as is so often the case (at least in my life) the destination is just around the corner.…
When I was just five years old my grandparents and parents thought it would be cute to take a picture of me piloting my grandfathers yacht in Jupiter, Florida. Of course at that age they had to get me a box to stand on and as I recall the boats wheel was a wee bit…
As I travel about Australia doing a bit of this and a lot of that I often find that I am given considerable pause when I find myself looking at some really cool colorful plant life that I have never seen anywhere before. I am at once in a state of awe and amazement. And…
The day started out with my dragging myself out of bed at the crack before dawn, getting something to eat while watching this enormous cruise ship glide into the Circle Key port just across the bay and then putting all my stuff together and making it to the rendezvous point in time to begin the…
We flew EasyJet over to Berlin. I think this is the first time I have flown with them although I had explored taking a flight back to Edinburgh from Lisbon, Portugal back in October. I was at the front of the plane and so the experience was really not all that bad. The tall young…
So I am off on my next adventure circumnavigating at least some portion of the world. I arrived in Edinburgh almost a week ago now and as is often consistent with my trips to the UK the sun was out, the birds are singing and I shared with my friend Tonya that traveling here…
My dear friend Aileen has been traveling about the Northeast with her lovely mother Irene Rose O’Donoghue who is 91 years old. Yesterday we started out with a return trip to Baily’s Island where we went to Land’s End, not the clothing store, but a place on Bailey Island where the road ends just before…
September 1, 2011 (continued) Meanwhile back at the mother ship, all the smaller shuttles had managed to drop off all the other eager tourists just chomping at the bit for an Athenian Adventure. So, off we go to explore both the remnants of Ancient Greece as well as a more current Athens Experience.
September 1, 2011 The tour bus arrived essentially right on time although it was a little difficult to tell that it was actually the right bus. But no worries. It was 7:45 in the morning and possibly already 90 degrees F. It was fabulous for this Mainer who’s lost 120 pounds in just two years…
