Sunday morning felt like RUSH week at the start of a new school year for incoming fraternity recruits! Rush, rush, rush…. For starters, we still hadn’t made our poster sign for the game, let alone come up with something to write on it. But somehow things all fell into place. The sign was made,…

One of the largest meetups ever... a party of two  :o)With Mark (travelman 727) and I holding down the fort, we painted the town red as we headed to Hannigan's, our first stop to have lunch in Laclede's Landing.  On a perfect-weather day we sat outside and enjoyed the view of old cobbles…

WHOO HOO WHAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SINCE APRIL 2008 OR SINCE THE RAMS LEFT LA IN 1995. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DAY AND NIGHT (I CAN'T BELIEVE I REMEMBERED!!!) It’s 9am and we have not figured what to write on our sign.Taking photos of my outfit.Pouring GOOSE in a water bottle to disguise i…

I would check out of the hostel, and head to the airport, where I would pick up my rental car for the day. I considered going up to Hannibal, which was 2 hours away. But at the last minute, I decided to take another baseball game. Once I got the car, I checked into a Motel 6, and bought t…

I had crossed the Mississippi River at Saint Louis many times before, always admiring the Gateway Arch but had never taken the time to stop there. So I was thrilled when Dawn and Keith suggested we visit the monument. At 630 feet, it is the tallest national monument in the United States, Saint Loui…

Though the Anheuser Busch facility is so famous here, I opted instead for the beer that is less famous around the country and globe, Schlafly. With a variety to choose from including the seasonal, I enjoy quite a few!From Oktoberfest, to Shock Top, and all those in between, as long as they were ser…

WE haven't left yet. YES WE HAVE.  IT'S GREAT.  WE'RE IN ATHENS NOW. We're still in the planning stages.  "Armchair travelers" at this point. Maps and online sites and timetables abound my friend...........excitement stirring in our veins... I'm sure you're saying, "Yeah, sure…

 Last night at the club was great. I got my dance on and had a few rum and cokes. The one thing I can never do is leave enough room in my suitcase for soviners. Push here and roll it up there. I'll make it all fit. Today is colder than yesterday but with the sun out and a jacket it is …

On August 28, 2006 me and Trinity chewed Bazooka gum. The fortune on my comic said I would take a plane ride to a strange place. The fortune was half true, we went to St Louis the next day. It wasn't really that strange. Still, I want to believe that my future can be predicted by bubble gum wrapper…

Monday, July 21, 2003 10:55 PM   What a long day! I don’t know why I do these vacations this way. It’s nearly 11 PM and I still need to write this journal entry. There are just too many thins to and no time to do them.   Anyway, we were up at 5:30 AM and had breakfast at La Fiesta…

I actually flew out to St. Louis from Atlanta on Friday, the 13th. I don't believe in superstition nonsense. LOL. In a short period, my friend and I enjoyed exploring St. Louis area. We both are night people so we enjoyed exploring St. Louis' nightlife. We managed to squeeze in typical tourist attraction site as well - that is during the day. :)

A few days in St. Louis

Okay...it was HOT...I mean REALLY REALLY hot. Temp was around 101 but the heat index was more like 114 (thank goodness we were in an ACed car most of the time). So, first of all, like the SECOND we got into Missouri, the drivers got horrible. It was as though they didn't know what cruise control wa…

We loaded up and continued on to St. Louis. There our first stop was the Anheiser-Busch Brewery. The plan was take a tour of brewery and then head over to the Gateway Arch. The tour was very interesting. We saw the famous Budweiser Clydesdales. They have an air-conditioned barn, with stall nicer th…
