Fantasy Friday

Is it the blue sky, blue water and sunshine? The fact that it was vacation? That it was a very good vacation? The wonderful people I met? Or all of the above? My thoughts have drifted back today to my week of solo vacation in the Everette/Seattle area last summer.
If it wasn’t for the horrible [...]

Summer Dreams

I must be feeling a wee bit better. I’m starting to envision Life After the Cold.
While we were cleaning I found myself pondering a question that weighs heavily on my mind this time of year: Where Do We Go For Summer Vacation? The boys, being boys, have no opinions. Assuming that a shrug and a [...]

photos from Phoenix and the Grand Canyon

Lots of pictures taken from the car by whomever was riding shotgun. Most of them are on Flickr, but I’ll post a few here for fun. Haven’t gotten the film (and disk) back yet. There was a fire outside of Flagstaff on the way north.  The rooms were “cozy” but [...]

Bright Angel Hike

The hike this morning was terrific! I think everybody feels satisfied at having hiked in the Grand Canyon. We hiked down the trail about 30 minutes before I said I needed to turn around because I wasn’t sure my knees would take much more. Plus, the trail was pretty steep going down and I was [...]

A bit of overestimation

I’m so tired I can hardly think. It’s been a good day, but we (the boys and I) may have slightly overestimated what we could do this first day.
We arrived at the airport around 4:00 a.m. Did I mention my neighbor that was kind enough to drive us is sort of a morning person. Actually, [...]

T -16 hours

Look. I know that everyone I check with says the same thing: check-in is 2 hours before a domestic flight. But people, I just can’t believe there are going to be lights on at the airport at effing 3:15 in the A.M! I’m SORRY I booked a 5:15 a.m. flight, but it seemed like [...]

Life is so much better with travel on the horizon

In today’s mail, I got concrete confirmation of not one, but TWO (2!!!) road trips for the Journey clan!
1) Plane Tickets to Phoenix for the end of April. (They’re actually e-tickets, which I got in the e-mail the day I made the reservations, but these are much more O-fficial, and therefore more Ex-citing. Don’t you [...]

Grand (canyon) Ideas part 2

I had to make flight arrangements today because work is paying for my flight and one of the boys (they’ll pay for 1 significant other.) We got early morning flights for April 26…early enough that we arrive in Phoenix at 6:30 a.m. local time.  (!!!!)
At least that will leave us plenty of time to get [...]

Grand (canyon) Ideas

I got the information today about my work trip to Arizona at the end of April. Turns out the boys are able to come down with me for the Friday evening service of Investiture. I’m trying to work it out so they could fly home with KA’s husband.
So, it occurs to me that if we [...]

Welcome!

Welcome to the new (and hopefully permanent) home of This Journey. It's good to have people walking along, especially during the bumpy parts. I can be contacted at not.fainthearted at gmail dot com. Or leave a comment!
