Bay Area Podcast

Bay Area Podcast – April 2009

We’re “baaaack” from the Florida trip! Seven weeks in a trailer and we’re still alive.. Amazingly enough, no-one got on the other nerves.. Shiba did try to smother me in my sleep once, but I’m sure it was just a random act..not a conspiracy. So now we have a benchmark of sort for other trips.. what to take, what was utterly useless..and what we really needed..

• Leaving sunny Florida. (no joke, it’s damn hot there)
• Weather beating (hey did we just miss that.)
• Back to New Orleans ( Lake Pontchartrain & Katrina)
• Wind, wind and more wind (Wichita Falls & Amarillo TX, the land of the tumbleweeds ..)
• Santa Fe NM (hey girlie! like shinny things.. )
• Bandelier National Monument (jacobs ladder.. )
• Petrified Forest & Painted Desert (That was cool.. )
• The Grand Canyon ( I mean, couldn’t ya come up with something better than “Grand”..)
• Route 66 and Kingman ( hmmmm.. what’s the deal?)
• Bakersfield (do you have a Chili’s?)
• One last push to home (eek..me back)
• Getting “Lulu” on the pad (park it “baby”
• Photos of of the trip
