    Hi, we’re back from our cruise to the Bahamas and we had a great time, thank you very much for asking. This was the first cruise either of us had gone on, so we had no idea what to expect, other than we were going to be on a great big ship that was going… Read.

  • Cruise Monkey Day Two

    , , ,

    Our trip from the hotel to the port did not go quite the way I pictured it. I was under the impression that the shuttle we booked from the hotel to the port would be a Ford Excursion, or a stretch van, possibly as big as one of those sixteen-person shuttle buses that hotels send… Read.

    I managed to get to sleep around nine-thirty on the Friday night before we were going to fly out for our cruise. I even kept on sleeping until about two in the morning, but after that I was just lying in bed awake, so I got up at about two-thirty and read a book until… Read.

    There are a lot of fun things to do in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Staying overnight at a hotel alongside the highway is not one of them. But this is for work, not play, so I didn’t really expect to have much fun here. There was a little bit of a problem with the room; I… Read.

    Wednesday, I drove 146 miles to Wausau, 31 miles to Wittenberg, and 29 miles to Shawano. Thursday, I drove 41 miles to Oconto, 174 miles to Madison, and 115 miles to Waupaca. Friday, I drove 109 miles to Algoma and 109 miles back to Waupaca. Today, you couldn’t get me into a car for any… Read.

    I can’t tell you how good it feels to be home again. Okay, that’s not entirely accurate, as I’m about to attempt to tell you exactly that. I just got back from a business trip of nearly seven hundred miles to the northwest corner of our fair state, and I don’t feel it’s an exaggeration… Read.

    Wow! A Great Big Fish! This must be the one that got away. Just one of the things we saw on a recent business trip to Hayward, Wisconsin. Read.

    I think I may finally be all caught up on the sleep I lost this week. Actually, I didn’t lose that much sleep. I was on an overnight business trip and we stayed in a hotel that was almost literally curbside to Interstate 43 in Manitowoc. I say “almost literally” because Interstate highways don’t have… Read.

    I’m writing up some detailed drivel about each day of our vacation in the Pacific Northwest. I already posted some drivel about our last day in Seattle, because it was fresh in my mind and I sort of do things as they occur to me, so doing it backwards isn’t really too much of a… Read.

    Home again, home again, jiggidy-jog. Woke up this morning after sleeping ten hours. Hardly surprising. As My Darling B pointed out, we were traveling all day. In fact, we could have flown all the way to Japan in the time it took us to get from Seattle to Madison. And I mean we slept hard.… Read.
