I LOVE this photo.
That’s Gibraltar, I’m told.

British Airlines VIP
I hate loyalty programs and make no effort at all to collect points.
Despite my bad attitude, British Airlines awarded me Bronze membership. Until Feb 2015. 🙂
SWEET … I can use those lounges.
GAk. Nope. You must be a Silver member to get into the lounges.
Not much I need in the Bronze program. 😦
Me and Clooney.
Expert travelers.
Dan and Audrey. RTW travel.
Warren recommended a travel blog called Uncornered Market.
Check a sample – South Africa: From in the Books to on the Ground
Daniel Noll & Audrey Scott are the husband-and-wife storytelling and photography team behind Uncornered Market. They travel deep and off-beat, aiming to connect the world through people, food and adventure. Six years and 75 countries later, they are still going…and still married …
I’m looking at a couple of future Round The World trips right now.
neither Officer nor Gentleman
Diana and Doug Davis hosted me (again) in beautiful Port Townsend, Washington. THANKS. 🙂
You know the town from the film An Officer and a Gentleman.
Click PLAY or watch the trailer on YouTube.
Port Townsend still looks the same as that, released 1982. It’s historically preserved.
The Gymnastics club operates out of the old Post Office.
Port Townsend attracts plenty of tourists.
$80 rent-a-car flat
I was camping in Southern California close to the Mexican border.
Awoke to a flat tire.
Called my rent-a-car company. Since I’d not paid extra for insurance I had two choices:
1) drive directly back to the rental location
2) pay to have them come out and replace the flat
I took option 1. The toy tire.
$80 additional charge on return. No grief.
When I asked the guy at Advantage if it was worth hounding my credit card company for reimbursement, he laughed. Told me there was 0% chance to get that $80 back.

goodbye California
Two weeks in the sun. A rent-a-car.
California in April is wonderful.
It’s May. I’m heading … north.

I’m thinking WATERTON NATIONAL PARK summer 2013. 🙂
Otter Trail, South Africa trip report
My 6 day trip report from the fantastic Otter Trail, South Africa is now up.
I’m hoping to get back to Southern Africa in 2014 to hike the Drakensberg mountains. And Namibia.
tough day on the PCT
20 miles down hill with a day pack?
How hard could it be?
BLOODY hard. It was closer to 23 miles from Sunrise highway near Mt Laguna store back to Lake Morena.
RECOVERY DRINK needed = chocolate milk.
The best news?
When you FINALLY arrive back into camp, drunken hikers burst into applause. And serve you chile.
She’s dressed properly for the climate close to the Mexican border in April, by the way. I’m wearing all the wrong clothes. 🙂
An anti-thru hiker.
