The Almighty Cod

….or got’da git me quota, b’y. My recent visit to Newfoundland happened to overlap with the twice annual “food fishery”. I was keen to give it a try though I have never had a lot of luck with cod jigging. Years ago, it used to be that any time you went out for a day on the […]

Glassy Beach

…..in which a group of us spend an afternoon on Glassy Beach. There are lots of cool places to visit in Newfoundland if you get off the beaten path. One of my new favourite places to go is glassy beach. Now don’t get too excited; Glassy Beach is not much of a beach in the usual sense. There […]

Not Since Moses

…….or Call That Running? This past weekend found me and my friend Lynn camping at Five Islands Ocean Resort and RV Campground. I  won’t thoroughly review the campground here but suffice to say, it did not compare in any way to what my imagination presents as a resort, even though it does meet the strict […]

…or A Day at the Mall. That’s the Washington Mall which is a long stretch of park extending from Capital Building to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC. It contains many of the Smithsonian museums and is a great place for people watching. I made my way there while we were stopped in Falls Church, […]

….or The Long Road Home. That is, to my other home. The Northern one. Where I am right now, sitting by a roaring fire toasting my tootsies. But I will back track to fill you in. The first leg of our return journey was from Florida to Raleigh, North Carolina. The drive was unremarkable except for one […]

Travel-Blog #20

In my last Blog entry I detailed a pretty nice day. Now to keep things in perspective, I present a much more typical day of RV living in Florida. The day always starts with strong hot coffee. I wake up in the world’s smallest bedroom, dig my eyeglasses from between the mattress and the camper […]

…..or up the creek with a paddle and a spare; a kayak review.  Skipper Judy here. I’m probably not the best person to give advice on a kayak. I have only tried several and none of them real expedition boats, but I can give you my impression of my new-to-me inflatable. Thirty years ago I […]

…or On The Road Again. Well it was time we were leaving the campground in Marathon. Late yesterday afternoon the groundskeeper came by and kicked in Crabby’s home. I can only hope that he was out foraging when it happened. We received a parting gift of a spectacular sunset:   We are now back at […]

….or a Day in the Life of the Tin Can Tourists. It has been a good stay here in the Florida Keys but we will be moving on tomorrow. Here’s a typical day: It has been a treat to see the sunrise without even getting out of bed: No point in getting up until the […]

Campground Yoga

   This morning I watched an older couple head down the lane with their yoga mats under their arms. I too could be doing that, I thought to myself, going to the free yoga sessions on the beach on Tuesdays and Thursdays. But it would mean more shopping; a yoga mat, yoga pants, and an […]
