Heading to Boston via US-20 we passed through Sturbridge, Massachusetts and couldn't help but think of that one line in James Taylor's Sweet Baby James so we queued it up and listened to the song. Just before leaving the US highway we paused for refreshment. We're...

Our journey from Portsmouth, England to our home in Ohio might have been accomplished in about sixteen hours but my avoiding air travel we were able to enjoy a fifteen day journey home via train, ship, Uber, train, as well as our own feet and finally our personal vehicle.
It’s been a fascinating two day visit to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. We managed to pack in tours of the HMS Warrior, the HMS Victory as well ast Victory Live: The
Big Repair, and finally the Mary Rose. All were incredibly informative and well presented.
