Return to posting

In site, travel on 20 August 2007 with 3 comments

 
You may have noticed a slight drop in posting frequency over the past few months.  I was fortunate enough to travel through Europe for a couple weeks, and I’m finally back and recovering from the crippling jet lag.
Surprisingly, free wi-fi wasn’t as easy to come by as expected while abroad, so my email and RSS […]

Christmas 2006 disc golf tour

In fun, photography, travel on 31 December 2006 with no comments

The 2006 “Disc of Fire” tour took us to the heavily-wooded Wildwood Park course, and then to Elberton Park where we found the Lake Russell disc golf course, filled with long, winding fairways perfect for practicing our throws. A brief layover in Athens helped us to recover for a few days in Atlanta, and […]

Updated itinerary and the final day

In Sights, travel on 10 August 2006 with 1 comment

It looks like the voyage home is still on, despite the massive amount of flight cancellations into and out of England. We’re leaving an extra hour early (5AM BST) to board the bus for London, where we’ll then begin to trudge through security.  I’ll be amazed if we leave the tarmac as planned.
I was […]

London Round 3

In Sights, travel on 9 August 2006 with no comments
