Cincinnati Travel Blogs

So this was the big move weekend.  I had been ferrying a few things up to my parents for them to store (important papers and the like), and some of my furniture is being used by my sister and brother-in-law in their new house (and had already been moved a few weeks prior).  I had also sol…

Happy to share a unique adventure thanks to a brave friend who is an American citizen living in Dubai. The sole regret of the expedition was that my wife did not accompany me.  I thoroughly appreciated her reservations, stemming both from current tensions between the US and Muslim culture …

Journal entry written Tues., Sept 16 from a Burger King with power and Wi-Fi access... The remnants of Hurricane Ike blew through southwest Ohio on Sunday afternoon (Sept 14).  As I drove up to Dayton in the afternoon, I dodged broken tree limbs on the road, one traffic signal that had been r…

Thus concludes the trip and the blog back home in Ohio.  A few additions may come shortly and will be annotated here so one will know where to look.  If nothing is entered here the update was typographical in nature. 2/11 Day 5 in Torres del Paine (11/24) - new photo standing in the win…

We had to change planes in Cincinnati because we were flying to a really small airport.  Our flight from Minneapolis was full so I had to ride under the seat in Alyssa's backpack.  It was a bumpy ride but we landed safely.  On the way off the plane, Alyssa took me up to meet the pilo…

The slog down I-71 to get home was uneventful.  Stopped at the late-night drive through at Taco Bell at around 12:30 AM, as I did not have time to get a meal in Salt Lake due to the tight connection.  That and since I had turned off the AC at home while I was gone, my place was a sau…

July 13 What is it about my travels and natural disasters right now?  Last November four days before leaving for my South America trip a major earthquake struck northern Chile.  Now yesterday (July 12), 6 days before leaving for Alaska, a volcano erupts in the state out in…

Anticipating the upcoming adventure entails a wide array of emotions. I am perpetually attempting to prepare myself mentally for the challenges and joys that are ahead of me. Regardless of my many attempts, I still believe I am in a dream. This doesn't seem real to me. It just can't be, the young l…

My favorite photos from my travels

We stopped at Kings Island in Ohio on the way home from Niagara Falls, Canada.

Today we get to the kids favorite part of the trip....we stopped in Cincinnati to see their cousins.  After all of the beautiful places we have visited, this is what they tell everybody that they enjoyed the most. 

After so many trips to Cincinnati for Kings Island, I realized I had never seen any of the city. It was time to change that with a little road trip....not to mention take in my 1st live MLB game...

Michael, (moytoy) had a birthday on Oct 13th and I looked at his profile photo and thought, I could give him a gift by changing his shot. I downloaded the shot and did a little lighting and color changes.  Truth is I wanted to see the dog better!  :)  I hope he is happy with the outc…

I can’t believe I did it! I can now say I am a half marathoner… last Sunday, my family traveled down to Cincinnati, Ohio for the Cincinnati Flying Pig Marathon and Half. I ran the half marathon (13.1 miles) in 2 hours, 21 minutes and 20 seconds… I would have liked to do better, but it was…

Dan and I will be hitting the road this morning. We're driving to Bethesda, MD to check in at the restaurant where he'll be working for the next two weeks. Once there and settled in I'll be able to add details about the road trip.The trip to Bethesda was pretty uneventful for the most part. We seem…
