Road Trip News

  • Revenge Travel By NPR

    People want vengeance for being stuck home in the pandemic now says NPR. I am picking up job applications and rent brochures because I want to STAY gone. New words for absolute hate have to be invented to describe how I feel about Virginia.

  • NOLA Homesick

    My New Orleans, LA homesickness has hit play Armstrong on constant repeat levels. I better visit soon!

  • Top School Photos Of The Week

    I am still working as a teacher, and these are the best school photos of the week. I am wearing my green shamrock pins! I am always impressed with the school room posters.

  • Driving Trouble

    I was planning a Louisiana trip for Saint Patrick’s Day 2023, but my travel vehicle is making noise and needs repair badly. Travel delay jinxed the plan. A few more days for travel launch.

  • CNN Report

    I thank CNN and CBS for reporting this as I was a rape victim at Fort Lee in Virginia in 2005, and a second issue is victim’s stories not being believed and reports not being taken. A reason I will not date military personnel. This doesn’t mean I never want to date someone special, but I don’t want face and stomach punches to be part of it.

  • Wishing For Gumbo

    My upcoming road trip to New Orleans has me dreaming of gumbo every night. I can’t wait!

  • Birthday Mom

    My mom is having her birthday party this weekend! Wish her happy birthday! She stopped using Facebook due to crazy Trump fans stalking her there. To wish her happy birthday go to her Instagram at brocketteanne to like her latest Portland and Seattle family photos, and wish her happy birthday. The second photo is of my nephew JD and his new son Geo in Seattle, WA with my mom Anne on her last visit.

  • Travel Time

    It is travel-time later this month as New Orleans friends and family agreed to let me stay in New Orleans for Saint Patrick’s day weekend. I have been needing space from the East Coast for a while, and am glad others agreed. I used to live in New Orleans for years as I got my first University degree. New Orleans goes wild for Saint Patrick’s day, and I am sure the photos of the parades will be great this year. Also Loyola University New Orleans is having a big reunion and tour, and I have tickets for the weekend.

  • Top Work Photos Of The Week

    Here are my top work photo of the week. I am still working as a teacher, and I am always amazed at the great inspirational posters at the schools.

  • Travel Urge

    I greatly feel homesick for the south this time of year. The people and places were amazing the years I lived in Texas and Louisiana. Dating in Virginia sucks crap. I have never liked anything in Virginia, and even dislike the beach areas as shown below. My travel urge has hit epic levels.

    It is very strange that they put a statue of a huge naked guy with no pants beach-side.
