It's not that we haven't wanted to blog, it's that we didn't quite have the bars to so. By bars we … Continue reading Back in the Land of Bars (or Blogging is really an Internet-based) Activity

There is so much to capture ... and I don't want to forget some of those little special experiences I'm having during our travels.

What makes two Toonies and a Loonie?
Faithful readers, if you know this one you've been to Canada (it's $5). We've been up here for roughly the last 2 1/2 weeks, making our way through the Gulf Islands, Howe Sound, and now find ourselves on the Sunshine Coast, on the mainland side of British Columbia.

Pig War! ( or all the other stuff we did in the San Juans)
A Preface First, an apology. I thought I had published the Part One of our San Juan visit, but apparently had only saved it in draft form. That explains the dearth of comments about our travels thus far, or that we've just become wildly unpopular. We meet Sondra & Roy Sondra is an old friend … Continue reading Pig War!

F.I.R.E. Barista Style
One evening I was reading a reblog post of a fellow blogger, Life Free 2 Sail Fast, who is more prolific in posting than moi, and I ask ... "Hey Babe, are we part of the FIRE movement?" "Yes babe, we are. In fact, we're more like others who call themselves FIRE Barista ... because … Continue reading F.I.R.E. Barista Style
