2022 France: Day 13 – Orleans; Final Thoughts

2022 France: Day 12 – Chateau de Chambord

2022 France: Day 11 – Chateau de Chenonceau and Royal de Blois
This was our last morning in Montsereau. We were up by 6am and went out about 7am to find breakfast. We'd forgotten to notify the [...]
2022 France: Day 10 – Chateau de Villandry and Chateau d’Usse
This might be one of the most beautiful posts I've done (out of 274 according to WordPress!). Not that I had anything to do with [...]
2022 France: Day 9 – A lazy day by the Loire River
I didn't get up until about 7:30am, which is pretty late for me, but I'd stayed up the night before to get the blog finished. [...]
2022 France: Day 8 – Mont Saint-Michel, Angers

2022 France: Day 6, Paris – Part 4: Le Cordon Bleu, & some ring activity at Sacre Coeur

2022 France: Day 5, Paris, Part 3 – La Defense, more great food
This entry is for Thursday, May 19. I'd gotten into this groove of working on the blog late afternoon/early evening then finishing it up just [...]

2022 France: Day 2 – Paris, Part 1.5
We didn't do much today so I wasn't sure it counted as a full part! Still managed to take a bunch of photos, though. I [...]

When we were in Paris last year, Ash cooked up this idea of coming back for the month of May, 2022. "We can 'Spring' in [...]

2022 PVR: Day 4 – Another easy day with great food (and churros)
Sunday was my last full day in Puerto Vallarta and I purposefully didn't have much planned. I was up a little earlier than the prior [...]
2022 PVR: Day 3 – Not much to it (just like I wanted)
I slept 7 hours again Friday night, up around 5:30am. I went to OXXO twice for coffee after they opened at 6am, worked on the [...]
2022 PVR: Day 2 – A (very wet) Ziplining Adventure!
Sleeping to the sound of the waves must agree with me. I slept a lovely 7 hours Thursday night, getting up about 5:30am. I went [...]
2022 PVR: Day 1 – It’s all about the Tacos!
I'm back! This is my first return to Puerto Vallarta since February 2020, for reasons I probably don't have to explain. When I was planning [...]

I had a very full day of work on Friday but managed to shut down just after 5pm, which was the earliest I'd stopped working [...]
2022 NYC: Day 6 – Hugh Jackman in “The Music Man”
Thursday went much like the prior two days: an easy blog posting since we aren't doing a bunch and start work around 7:30/8am. I've enjoyed [...]
2022 NYC: Day 5 – Lunch with a friend; “Rigoletto” at the Metropolitan Opera
I slept until 6:20am which is pretty late for me. The blog went up quickly since there were only a few photos and I started [...]
