If My Cell Phone Told the Story: Traveling to Perth
This trip to Perth was a little different. It was the first time I had a smart phone (like the rest of the world seemed to have on my past trips), and in a way it helped me feel more connected with my family for as long as I could....
Traveling to Perth
With Christmas and New Years done, we had to start thinking about going home to Perth. I suppose most couples have obstacles in their marriage, ours is definitely all that it takes to BE together. The travel is not easy; the expense, the time…if nothing else, we are a testament...
A Fine Welcome Home
I am back in Perth, Australia, and I must say it was a smooth journey, in spite of the time and distance. Two days, three planes, four airports, and one missing Friday later, it’s good to be on the ground, and likely will soon be better if ever I fully...

Where Did Friday Go?
By now most know that Laura and I left THURSDAY from Maryland to go to Australia. As I blog this, we have JUST arrived in Melbourne, Australia, and it’s SATURDAY. We don’t know what happened to Friday. Our flight from BWI to LAX had some events. One long patch of...
Old Photos: Smithsonian Air and Space Museum in Dulles
It was time to take John to Dulles Airport, and since it was kind of far from home, Enric and Silas went with me. To make a sad trip a little more fun, we stopped into the Dulles section of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. I had been to...
