We made excellent time on the return trip home, even with stops. This despite the pouring rain as we left Williamsburg – but we seemed to be heading away from the storm at that point.
Which was good. Easier for driving.

The Getaway: Day 3 Surry and Yorktown
The original plan was to spend the day in Yorktown, and to take the ferry over to Surry the next day for lunch, before heading home.

One day is not nearly enough time, but we made the most of it.

So came the annual milestone, and with minimal vacation days used up – COVID still completely throwing off the freedom to travel to new places – I needed some time away.
Continue reading “The Getaway: Day 1 Jamestown”Back Eastward
After our adventure out to western Maryland and the scenic rail excursion, the folks and I tried to come up with plan for things to do in the area.
Continue reading “Back Eastward”Out and about: WMSR
It was becoming very, very clear that I needed some time off. Like, to the point my folks were suggesting it… gently, but repeatedly.

It’s a long trek back to Rome today, so we’re up early.
Actually, we’re up earlier, because we’re off time, but who’s counting.
So anyway. Up early. Cleaned up, packed up, checked out, and on the road. Italy goes by out the window. Toscana, Umbria, Lazio. Vineyards and cypress trees. Continue reading “Rome and Board (Cruise Day 1)”
In which we cross to Spokane
I sleep like the dead (once I get earplugs in) and sleep until after 7am. Mom is already awake. Dad is already up and out.
He comes back at 7:30, concerned because our flight is tomorrow at 7:20 and it won’t let him check in. It takes a moment to realize our mistake: we are on Mountain time; Spokane is on Pacific. Continue reading “In which we cross to Spokane”
In which we make record time down the road
We have options this morning – we can get up and on the road early, so that we get to Logan Pass before 8:30, when they might still have parking, or sleep in, have breakfast, and just hope for the best. Continue reading “In which we make record time down the road”
In which we take a Red Bus Tour
We get up and ready in plenty of time for a bellman to help us get our belongings down three floors, check out, get breakfast, race down to get my mother’s accidentally packed tablet out of the car (ugh), and hop on our Red Bus Tour of Glacier.
We’re on the Grand Circle tour, looping the outer edges of the park to come down Going to the Sun Rd west to east. It will take all day, and we get a late start because two members of the group are no-shows. Continue reading “In which we take a Red Bus Tour”
