I just drove Karin to the airport in Washington DC, she’s going back to Sweden after having been here about a week. During that time we made a two-day road trip around Lake Erie. Afterwards, I could add Michigan to my map of visited states and Karin added two states and another country to hers.

I almost forgot to write about getting Karin airplane tickets for the 28th as a Valentine’s gift. Don’t tell her it was as much a gift for me as it was for her ;)

On the 23rd of December, as I wrote before, Karin and I thought we woke up early only to notice that it wasn’t all that early when we got to the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument. We bought a joint National Parks Pass ($50, free entrance to national parks and monuments) and looked at the [...]

I was hoping to have all the photos and the map done by today but no sir, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow for that. However, until then, enjoy these.

Imagine I blogged this on the 22nd of December, okay? After spending the night in a fancy San Diego (ahem) motel, Karin and I ate the complimentary continental breakfast, consisting of waffles and toast, and headed out on our road trip in the Southwest with coffee on the go.
The route took us over the mountains [...]

I should really start updating the site again after being away so long. I’ve got lots of plans and lots of photos but nothing is really done yet. So until then, I’m sure you’re all curious about Karin :D

Well, it’s not really my own spot to be perfectly honest. In fact, I’m sure a lot of people already think of it as their own spot. Nonetheless, it’s a really good place for a picnic when visiting the south rim of the Grand Canyon and if you’re intending to go there in the near [...]
We’re back! And, as planned, we were home just in time for the New Years Eve fireworks. The road trip was great, we covered some 4000 miles and lots of deserts, snowy mountains and everthing in between. We are now utterly spoiled when it comes to great views, it’s really difficult not to think “why [...]
I like snow. Especially so the morning after the first real snowfall; when everything is covered in white and not yet turned into slush. Driving in the snow is something I like as well, the warmth inside the car and everything outside cold, crisp and light.
On the safety side, it is crazy not having winter [...]

Considering that I’m missing the sense of direction, doesn’t have any navigational skills whatsoever, and, not to forget, never ask for directions (I’m male, damnit!)—this item should have been at the top of my list since day one: a GPS for the car. In a matter of days all my above shortcomings (only ones left, [...]
