Tuesday Morning at The Rock House - United 767 Planes

Just returned from Rome, Riyadh, and Jeddah. I flew from Dulles to Rome and back on United, on one of their new 767 jets. It was really nice! I upgraded to Business Class, where the seats recline into fully flat beds, there is on-demand video, power for your PC, and a USB plug to charge your mobile devices.

I actually flew to Rome in Economy Plus, and returned in B-Class. There's a real difference!! For me, well worth the system-wide upgrade certificate I had earned for being a 1K member. Even for a 30,000 mile award, it would be worth it!

Friday afternoon at The Rock House

Well, I guess this is my monthly blog entry. That seems to be the level of activity. I'm much more active on Twitter - there I update Twitter, Facebook and Plaxo with where I am, so that if I disappear somewhere in the world, someone would know where to start looking for me.

I am home now, then going to WV to see the Shelties. They've been there a couple of weeks, and looks like they wont come home until mid-November. I'm off Sunday to Rome and Riyadh and Jeddah. Maybe also to Dubai, but that's up in the air still. I hope also that I'll get to dive in the Red Sea off Jeddah. Right now, it looks like there will be time, and I'll be in the water there Nov 6-8. But, that could change.

After this trip, I'm home a week or so then I'm on the road again - Isn't that a Willie Nelson song??

Wednesday Morning at The Rock House

Hello blog - It's been another month, and still I am tweeting instead of blogging! Maybe I'll do better soon! I'm at TRH for a couple of weeks, then off to Abu Dhabi, Dallas, Austin, Rome, Riyadh, Bahrain, Hawaii and Istanbul (at least) before yearend. Many weeks on the road after this spell at home.

Tuesday Morning at The Rock House

Hey blog - I've been ignoring you again. Updating my status via Twitter, and showing it on Facebook and Plaxo fits my style much better. I think I'm a 140 character writer instead of the more lengthy kind.

I'm back from Bonaire, and off to Palm Beach and Toronto over the next several weeks.

Saturday Evening at TRH

Hello Blog! It's been a while - but then again this is a travel blog, and I have not been traveling. I don't count all those trips to WV to deliver and pickup the Shelties, or those to Cumberland to fix PC's as trips.

But, coming up are San Francisco, Winston-Salem, Bonaire, Palm Beach, then Toronto -- between now and mid-September.

Even though the Cumberland trips aren't overseas, they still provide good scenery pictures!! I think I have this same picture from at least 5 different trips! In fact, Cumberland trips have their own separate directory on my PC!!

Thursday at the Submarine Races

These are held every 2 years at David Taylor Research Center, right across the street from The Rock House. It's a really neat event, to see and to dive at. The website is International Submarine Races.

NYC is Really a Great City

Ya know, of all the cities in the world, NYC is just a pretty great place! Even an IPhone camera phone picture looks good from there.

Maybe that's why I go there three or four times a year!
