November 4th – November 17th, 2007 Getting to know Seattle Sleepless in Seattle pretty much sums up our last two weeks in Seattle. Talk about Shrek and Donkey on a whirlwind big city adventure – that was us! During the days, we continued hiking everywhere, from short jaunts up the hill a few blocks to …
Father Mark, AB, Pat and assorted friends It’s dark outside, we’ve just finished a bowl of soup and toast for dinner, and we’re settling in for more work after dinner. We’ve had an awesome day, in fact, an awesome week! We just love being here in Seattle. There’s never a dull moment, and there’s always …
We made it! We’re here in Seattle and we are starting the next major leg of our trip. At this point we aren’t quite sure what that will look like, as we are now nearly into winter, and the temperatures at night are dropping down into the 30’s. Luckily, we have a few days to …
Still here – but not for long Yep. We’re still here. Even though we are so happy staying here – it’s very comfortable – we still are getting increasingly itchy feet, and the open road is calling us more every day. We have had incredibly much to do now that our funding has disappeared, and …
We ended up spending most of Mark’s week off by taking an impromptu trip up to Bar Harbor. We left on Wednesday morning about 7 a.m. and got back late Friday, and we had a wonderful time. It was great fun to see the Maine countryside, and the campground in Acadia was gorgeous. Mark really …
We’re here in Dover still, and still catching up on all our tasks. Before we left on our trip, we opened a new company called Traveling Roses, to reflect the changes in our lives. We are really happy because we have now managed to get our domain name changed and all the hosting issues solved …
We’re back online at long last. It has felt like forever since we have connected with the outside world, but our lives and adventures have meanwhile been rolling along steadily. Where have we been? Since we last wrote we have progressed from Satellite Beach through the rest of FL – Port Orange, Beverly Beach, and …
Our bus ride was really uneventful until New York. The traffic getting into New York was appalling, and we were late by at least an hour. We were half panicked, as we needed to make a connection in New York for Boston, and we weren’t sure what our other choices were. As it was, we …
The day was pretty much a repeat of the day before. We did crane our necks going over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, and watched everything we could see. We reached Salisbury by dinnertime. We’d agreed to part ways from Brian here, with us shipping our bikes off to New Hampshire and taking a bus up …
What fun it was cruising along the road in an RV. Mandy was a complete sweetheart. She took the front seat often, which she did when she and Brian were alone, and it was very funny to see the dog riding along as a passenger. Chelsea and I loved staring out the window at the …
