Chris, (Trollik) joined TravBuddy on July 13th and from his profile picture you can tell he loves to visit historic sites.  You get to see him, a wonderful set of ruins and the sky and clouds, which made this shot exceptionally nice.  In looking at it I thought I might be able to make the…

I had a one hour layover in Houston, Texas after a two and a half hour flight from Tucson. I must say I loved the airport more than I thought I would. It was busier or looked much busier than Dallas Fort worth airport through which I transit more often. It was a rather cloud fil…

I keep saying my trip begins in June, when in reality it began the day I packed my car and left home sweet home Seattle. I was amazingly still sane after 3 days and 2,000 miles alone in the car. I'm not saying I didn't talk to myself every once in awhile. That's a given. But I actually enjoyed my s…
