Ho, hum. Another Vacation.

Next day we shot down to Daytona Beach for a much deserved vacation for the G-Man, and a not-in-the-least-deserved-vacation para moi. We had such a blast last year, after the Curious Don Quioxte Wedding, that we thought we’d try again. Flew to Orlando and rented a car to Daytona Beach. The only tricky part was [...]

Latest Visit to NY

I was so lucky on the last trip to the Big Island–absolutely delightful, warm, sunny weather, and on the last day The G-Man took a long lunch (long meaning he actually left the building for other than food), and we attempted to do the Empire State Building, which ended up being too crowded, so we [...]
