Planning for Euro 2012 is just about wrapped up. In retrospect, we probably should have done all the transportation stuff first, but that didn’t happen and now we’re working on a little complexity with getting from Split to Dubrobnick via either Hvar or Korcula. It’ll all get and it’s starting to pretty exciting. This year, …
The “Euro 2012 – Return to Floriade” trip planning is underway. Destinations for sojourn include Düsseldorf, Venlo, NL for Floriade 2012, Maastricht, Verona, Venice, a big chunk of Croatia, Ljubljana in Slovenia, Naples, Rome and Paris.

Tuesday, June 7th. It seems impossible that our trip is about to end. We’re off to Phoenix at 2:30 this afternoon. Our journey has been simply fantastic. Driving on left side of narrow 2-lane roads with cars parked on them for the last 3 days has been a challenge, but I haven’t hit anything yet …
Tuesday, May 31 We arrived in Budapest late yesterday afternoon. When you’ve been on the road for a month, you tend to lose track of days, dates, etc. and we somehow wound up here a day early for our hotel reservation. That wasn’t a problem, but it would have been nice to spend an extra …
Aloha Friday Morning, May 27 Dragging a suitcase full of dirty clothing, we’re off via metro and tram to the laundry center. At this moment, just about all the clothing we brought along is tumbling in the dryer and it’s a sartorially splendid sight. I have on a pair of jams and an STS-132 t-shirt …
