Change of Plans As many of you know we’ve been planning a much-ballyhooed multi-month road trip and you’re probably thinking, why are they in Sedona? Aren’t they supposed to be bopping down some little-known lane in the steamy southern portions of the massive and nuanced country that they call home? By this time, shouldn’t they […]
Do Snowshoes Have Bladders? “With all of the rain we’ve gotten down here recently, Flagstaff must be buried in snow,” Pat surmised. “Let’s go snowshoeing.” Well, that’s a suggestion you don’t have to make twice. Before he finished his thought, I had the snacks ready to go, my play-in-the-snow base-clothes on, and a bottle of […]
Back in the Day I had to walk to and from grade school with my big bag of books – uphill both ways – even if it was snowing. A baked potato meant for my lunch kept my hands warm… well, one at a time anyway. So why would I bat an eye at carrying five pounds […]
Who? Us? Holy crap! Where do I start? I got up this morning and sat down on the couch with my cup of coffee — okay, it’s more of a bucket, but really, it’s for the greater good — that’s when Pat looked up from his computer and said, “The Motoroamers were nominated for the Liebster […]

Our time in Europe was growing ever so short. We had one week left before we needed to be in Barcelona to catch the cruise ship to Florida. Last year we spent a month in Perpignan and made friends that we were anxious to see again. Perpignan just happened to be on the way to […]
No proper wine romp through France would be complete without a stop in Bordeaux. It’s a mecca for wine drinkers and certainly recognizable by abstainers. In preparation for our assault on the fine vintners of the region, Pat did some googling. “Did you know that there are 38 sub-regions in Bordeaux?” he asked me. “Thirty-eight?” […]
The day finally arrived. The Great French Wine Binge was about to begin. Four weeks of toodling about in the French countryside.
