And now we are in Edinburgh, and beginning all things Dunnett! For all we were wedged into the train like a cattle car, it was an interesting trip. We didn't get to see as much scenry as we would have wished, but we could see some. It looked just like it had from the air. … Continue reading 2023 Scotland – 3
Day one - Stopover in London And we are off! Julie and I covered a lot of ground today. We left Seattle and headed for London. I am not a happy flier. But this flight gave us a terrific view of Scotland all the way through to London, as we descended gradually for landing. The … Continue reading 2023 – Scotland – 1

As I sat watching, the lights of … Continue reading Rome/Barcelona Oct/Nov 2018 – Day 9 11/2/18 – Norwegian Epic, Cannes, France
Sharon and I plan our trips over a year out. Sharon can find deals from where, I have no idea. But a killer airfare from Vancouver BC to Paris, season tickets to the Aachen CHIO Horse show (season being 1 week) for a great price, and hotel reservations, and it was done. Sharon called me … Continue reading Aachen via Paris, 7/2018, The Trip that Almost didn’t Happen, or ‘I am a Sherpa’
I have to blame my friend Sharon. Really. That was the start. It's all her fault. It began in 2012 when she mentioned that she and two other mutual friends were going to rent a flat in Paris the next year. She'd gone on several Rick Steves tours, and was really enjoying Europe. As for … Continue reading And so it begins
