Spent a few days in Big Bend National Park with my niece before heading back to San Antonio for the dental convention. Big Bend is a huge park in southwest Texas. The Chisos Mountains are located in the park and provide a great backdrop for a variety of hiking options. Our day hike led us to "the w…

Actually located between New Braunfels and San Marcos on interstate 35, about 30 miles south of Austin, Texas.  The Texas Ski Ranch has all the equipment for rent, so all you need to do is show up.  The wakeboarders are pulled by ropes connected to steel cable that takes you around the ov…

Uggh!!  I can not breath!!  I hate Texas Allergies!!!!!!!!!   Please God help me get better by tomorrow.       I went to the Dr. a whole pharmacy of pills and one shot later you think I would be feeling better.  This may not be contagious, but I a…

During a cycling event I rode my bike through Thornberry. Thornberry is a small Texas town located at the intersection of Farm roads 2393 and 171, in northwestern Clay County. Thornberry is lined with peach and corn stands that are suppose to be filled in the spring time with unlimited options for …

I don't suggest trying it.  Although looking back it wasn't all that bad.  I left Sudbury at 1 PM and drove to Toronto.  I was advised to take the toll road to connect with the Airport and boy was that a good call.  I got to the airport at 4:15 and breezed through customs. …

Here are some stories from my trip. Hope you enjoy!

If I thought the distance between gates for the flight into Vegas was bad...this was worse.  If you take a map of IAH airport and go from the gate in the far upper left corner (ie. C16) and look down to the furthest gate possible from there (ie. E28)...well...that's what I had to connect!…

A short weekend to meet up with other singles in the NE Texas area

I'm off today to head up to the coast in Washington State for the wedding of my friends, Jessica and Skot.  It's my first visit to this part of Washington State.  I flew on American from Austin to Seattle, then on Horizon Air down to Portland.  In Portland, I met my friend Paul -- al…

It was Saturday morning, my trip had just begun! A friend from Ruston was moving to College Station and he asked me for some help. It fit perfectly on my plans since I could then fly from Houston to El Paso for my journey home. This time I couldn’t do my typical Monroe-Houston-Chihuahua since the…

Departed our home town of Corpus Christi on a short hop to Houston around 7PM Friday evening.  Reaching the Continental hub proved auspicious, as we immediately saw our Vegas departure was delayed an hour.  There was also a gate change and my wife was viewing the cup as half full, by…

We returned home today to awesome weather (Houston was having a bit of a heat wave prior to last night).  All in all the trip was a resounding success.Personally, I want to thank Rylee at Peru For Less for making the trip such a smooth and wonderful success.Also... I would like to thank my tra…

After departing almost 30 minutes late from Sacramento, here I am landing only 5 minutes before my flight is supposed to be boarding!  Great!  I am probably barely going to make it and what about my luggage?!?!?  I run off the plane, confirming the gate with the agent, and off I go.&…

Now, I live in Texas, and I have been here for over 7 years, so you think I would have learned how to travel in this state by now...but there is always something that catches me by surprise. Roadside Attractions:  Armadillos: I have yet to see a live one, but there are plenty of dead one…

I was warned that this is a very dangerous city at night but I found myself baffled at this idea.  I found the people friendly and delightful.This has to be the easiest city to find your way around.
