A paean to the USA

Going warm places

Well, not much to say about Birmingham.  Truthfully, and my apologies to those of you from Birmingham, but I found it, well, boring and kind of gross really.  I think the thing that grossed me out about this city were the roaches.  I live in Florida, lord knows we have roaches here, …

I took a short trip to Hong Kong island, Lantau, Macau and Kowloon. It was a very short trip and I hope to go back someday. Besides having a limited time, I lost about 300 of my photos. Ugh! Other than that, I had a great time and met some great people.

I drove with a friend for two months all around the country when I turned 18. We left with about $35.18.

I traveled to Mobile, Alabama because I was in Pensacola, Florida and I have never been to Alabama. I was feeling like eating seafood. So I did a search of restaurants in Mobile, AL and Winstell's Oyster House came up. I took some pictures, but I will have to upload them later. The Bartender "Stev…

So we left Birmingham at 3 AM Monday morning....kinda crazy. Our theme song became that Wallflowers song "Its 3 AM I must be lonley..." There was 11 of us piled into the church's Blue 15 passenger van. Steph took the first shift driving so I stayed awake to talk to her. Me made it to somewhere in…

I just love to roam: the streets, meet strange people, try their local foods and delicious goodies, taste and see if their cultures have similarities or so different (that I laugh at myself being a wandering wonder) that to them I am an "alien” from another world. I have yet see another human whose blood is blue and whose food is purely veggie, whose playmates are gorillas and monkeys. I say we are the same genie having ups & downs just as when faced with sadness and happiness..

Ozark, AL for my cousins wedding. Hospitality + soul food x green everywhere = love.

Even with comfortable seats, sitting for hours is difficult for me.  There is no fasten seat belt sign on a train and you are free to move about the cabin as you wish.  You can even leave you car to go to the lounge car or dinning car.  The food and drinks are pricey to say the least…

The USA...land of hollywood, junk food and everything BIG. //4.5 months

On a whim after Christmas and needing a break from the family I decided to take a motorcycle to ride to some old stomping grounds that I had not visited in 20 years.  Little River Canyon is a well kept secret in north Alabama.  Most notable activities are kayaking and rock climbing. …

We made our first big roadtrip to Michigan on the Labor Day weekend 2007. We drove from North Alabama through Tennessee, Kentucky and Indiana to Holland Michigan and had a GREAT time! :-)

Fort McClellan is not on TravBuddy's list of locations, how sad. Here is where I would be staying for two weeks. Nice area, but sadly, with the closing of Ft McClellan, tons of jobs in this area were lost. Again the people are the freindliest in the country, but they aren't the best at giving direc…

My big roadtrip on the East Coast and through the South back to Austin, in late August and Early September.
