Without knowing just how quickly or slowly we'd progress from California to Indiana, we delayed making reservations for Labor Day Weekend until a few days ago knowing full well we'd have limited options. Fortunately we did score a stay at the West Omaha KOA near...
The Archway Museum
Today's adventure was the triggered by reading an article listing the best museum in every state. It was pretty cool that we've visited around a dozen of these gems but even cooler that we were but a few miles from Nebraska's entry, The Archway Museum at Kearney...
Mac’s Creek
A couple of glasses of English Mild Ale, a Meat & Cheese Platter followed by some Famous Chicken Salad was all we needed for a most delightful afternoon repast. With an opportunity for lively conversation with Lori, we were all set. By closing time we’d also...
Cozad and the 100th Meridian

And the Antelope Play

The Virginian
After an overnight at Wind River RV Park and an early morning walk in Riverton, We headed east through the Wyoming landscape in search of a legend. Beginning in 1885 the young Harvard educated lawyer Owen Wister visited Medicine Bow, Wyoming for health reasons and...

NYC was experiencing flooded roads and subways as we arrived at the Red Hook terminal in Brooklyn. It was quite an adventure to make our way to our Midtown Manhattan Hotel.
Westbound on Cunard’s Queen Mary 2
Seven day passage from Southampton to New York, the very first Festival of Food and Wine aboard Cunard, passing around Hurricane Nigel in the North Atlantic. So much to do, so little time!
Our Last Days in London
Our last days in London were a mix of visiting more of the iconic sites in this ancient city, savoring the sounds of The Jive Aces, and just chilling in Hampstead before heading to Southampton.
