22 December finds us at a FANTASTIC RV PARK on Jekyll Island, Georgia. We are staying here until Tuesday 27 Dec. The island was a private club where the wealthy from the Northeast wintered in the late 18 and early…

Two things you NEVER want to see
When ALL OF A SUDDEN: No Steering Control!!! Whatsoever. With no warning! Yikes! We were on a 4-lane road with little traffic. The bus started to wander to the right (this part is normal…they don’t call them “Wanderlodges” for nuthin!).…
Feeding Mosquitos
Sitting around 30 June and thinking about “stuff.” Working on the house (sort of). Not much that can be done since we are STILL awaiting our building permit. It has been over a year now since that process started. You…
We’re Baaaack!
Although we are currently undergoing severe croissant withdrawal in addition to Jetlag, we have successfully navigated our way back to Chicago. I suspect it will be a few days until we manage to stay up past 8:00 and sleep past…

Stunning, Spectacular Drive
OK. I didn’t take this photo. After all, I was driving and Liz was gawking. Mountains left and right. On Monday we drove from Verona to Munich. In between the scenery was possibly the most beautiful anywhere. It was about a…
Verona: Romeo and Guiliette and Liz and Dan
Our AIRBNB in Verona is EXCELLENT (with a couple of caveats). We were able to secure a free parking spot right in front. In an old building, the apartment itself is very modern and comfortable. The toilet works and accepts…
