I went to a medical meeting in San Diego a looked around...

Hey everybody! Sorry I have not been writing in my blog much. I have not been getting internet. Right now I am at a gas station, right outside the North Rim of the Grnd Canyon! It was soooo beutiful, and you could see each layer of rock.

I do enjoy that I have a convertible and I have always fussed at people driving on beautiful days with their top up.  I understand now that I have one myself.  On the drive from San Antonio to Tucson, even with the top up, I got sunburned on the left side of my neck!!  lol  I need to have the windows tinted again!! 12hour drive, 870miles.  I even had on sunscreen and still got sunburned with the top up!!  I did come up with some ideas I could make some money from…

The Valley of Fire, The ghost town of Oatman, Hoover Dam etc.

Originally posted Thursday, March 23, 2006 on MySpace As I said previously, my last full day in Istanbul was pretty good.  I hung out with these two Brits, old enough to be my dad, yakking about various things.... Including politics.  Like many Europeans, I did not agree with us invading Iraq three years ago, and I certainly still feel that way.  We also discussed how China is just sitting back watching us, most likely laughin' their asses off as we continue to dig ourselves i…

I begin from Phoenix, Arizona , where I have lived for the past 10 years. My last extended jaunt around the globe, what started as a 6 month plan got extended to almost 24 - occurred in 2003. After an unexpected end to my last contract, burnt out and fed up of corporate America, I set out for Africa. It took me a week to decide as I drove back to Phoenix from Oregon. As they say, travel is addictive. It is. I made a personal promise to return to that lifestlye, if only for a year, around 2008…

My wife and me rented a Toyota 4WD and traveled many many miles in a big circle in SW USA. Absolutely stunning natural wonders all the way. Nice weather, nice people we were really delighted

DAY 1 (6/25/08)Long Beach, CA to Holbrook, AZ7:30pm / 90∞ / slightly breezy and clear skiesA quick note about the headings you’ll see throughout my blogging – If you notice, I’ve given you some brief statistics about where I am and what the weather is like. I learned this from my grandma who, for all 86 of her years, contacted you one of three ways: in person, by an actual phone call, or through a handwritten letter. Her letters always included information about what the weather was…
