Trippin' with Susan Straley

  Hello from Georgia. We are slowly making our way to New York.  We are taking a whole month to get there.  There are places to see, trails to ride, music to enjoy, and experiences to.... experience.  Like whitwater rafting for the first time. Even at 72, I learn new stuff all the time. In Columbus, Georgia, we went white water rafting on the Chatahootchee River right by downtown Columbus.  We decided to do it when we were biking the River Walk trail and saw others doing it... ( I made a video ) and it was 90 degrees so it sounded like a really good idea. Shortly after we got in the boat with our guide, "Dynamite", we went over our first falls.

Greetings from Steve's Kitchen in Hernando, Florida. We have been getting ready for six months of travel.  We have planned our summer and fall journey. I have made the reservations.  I wrote everything down in my calendar and on a spread sheet.  But I still worry that I missed something or... I don't know what.  I just worry... but not a lot.  Like when I am recording our bike trip in the Puglia area of Italy onto the spread sheet.  We used Tripsite.com to book the tour.  They sent a list of the days and where we would be each day (not the specific lodging location yet, but the towns).  And their listed days didn't line up with my listed days and I could feel the panic rise as I tried to remain calm and figure it out.  I figured it out.  It is all good. I have packed up my stuff and moved much of it over to Steve's and moved out of my Condo.  It isn't rented out yet, but I hope to rent out the condo furnished again this summer....
