A lot has happened since I last posted a blog!. Around August last year my brother, and his wife suggested that; we should all take their upcoming vacation together! And I immediately agreed! Since I had just freed myself from owning A business, one year earlier and was excited to take adventure trips…. We planned, and planned…..We picked up brochures. We Went on line, looking for somewhere cool and camping friendly, with its parks, valleys and mountains. To catch up on Mainland and U.S. history .
Before I go any farther; I have to mention that we live in Honolulu, Hawaii. The most desired vacation destination in the world!… But, the disadvantage about living on an Island is that; where-ever we decided to go, we had to fly to mainland U.S. First. We continued planning into September… Portland? Vancouver? Northern California?… Should we fly to Los Angeles, then drive up north? or Fly into Portland and drive around and up north?…. Yes! that was it!!….
Drive up and around Portland, to Washington State and visit mount Rainier and mount Saint Helen for example; With all its Historic sites and interesting places to see. Camp in different parks then drive back to Portland….. All very different to where we lived and what we were used to……
TO BE CONTINUED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good morning!
After watching the morning news ; I am ready to go off somewhere & bury myself in the sand! ( that’s too extreme!) or jump into the ocean for a long swim. But, unfortunately I don’t have the time for it! So, what I can do; is to fret about it , Question it ,analyze it, & worry about it! Why?? is it my civil duty to be informed?? what do I do with that information?? can I change anything? The oil spill in the gulf of Mexico sure is a big task to take on! The BP (British petrol) who is the operator of the rig , has not even commented about the accident . Yet I can see the consequences of this accident on wild life, and the surrounding area which was already devastated by the famous ”Hurricane Katrina” 41% of our national sea food comes from that area; does that mean :41% less sea food /Or is it going to be 41% more expensive to eat sea food??? I don’t know!!! I am already getting anxious talking about it! What kind of person am I ??? don’t I care?? perhaps better to have my head in the sand than jump in the Ocean ;since it could definitely be polluted!!! Keep on plugging!! Until later, CIAO,Minou.
