To Do Tuesday #62

Hello my Friends! Hope this Tuesday finds you well. We have slipped into fall one of my favorite times of the year. Indian summer is so much better than almost any time of the year for me. The sun is shining. It is usually high 70’s here in San Jose. Days are still long enough. Just love this time of year!

I got back from Denver Sunday. The weather was fair while we were there but Thursday our flight was delayed due to thunderstorms. Travel is still such a mess post-covid. I was lucky enough to still get my rental car even after my flight was delayed. Some people had to wait for two or three hours for a vehicle. I felt lucky we got to the hotel by 2am. We had to be at the rink by 7am and it was a 30 minute drive. We survived. LOL! Teenagers are so reslilent.

To Do Tuesday #56

Can you believe it is August already?! The summer is almost over already. The kids go back to school next week. I swear it gets earlier and earlier every year. Doesn’t seem to be much of a summer for them anymore. Very sad if you ask me.

TRAVEL DIARY: Jupiter, Florida

Loggerhead Marine Life Center

It has been six long months since I have had an opportunity to travel. I just needed this so bad for my mental health. It was even more important with the wildfires here in California and Oregon. The last 6 weeks with social unrest, covid, unusually high temperatures, and unhealthy air quality, this trip was a welcome change. This trip was business and pleasure.

Travel Diary: Yosemite National Park

I haven’t done a lot of traveling in 2019 due to my grandson’s hockey.  When you travel for hockey, it really isn’t much of a travel event.  Well it is… but I don’t think anyone cares to hear how it goes when we arrive for a tournament and such.  If someone out there does, then I will be happy to start a Hockey Diary just for these events.

Travel Diary: Aloha from Kiehi, Maui, Hawaii

Took a quick trip to Maui for my birthday weekend to see the beaches and relax.  We are staying in condos run by Sunny Maui Condos and they are clean and the people are very nice.  This is a perfect little setup with a 1 bedroom for me and my grandson.

Travel Diary: Phoenix: Hockey & 5k

Hello Adventurers:

Recently traveled to Phoenix, Arizona so I thought I would give you my take on that fair city.

For President’s Day Weekend, I took Shaun, my grandson, to a hockey tournament in the Phoenix area.  We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn in Tempe.  It was nice enough.  The rooms were clean and the staff was friendly.  They handled a gaggle of 10-year-old boys quite well.
