The First Post

Iraklia, Greece 2019
I write my first post on the blog as the number of COVID-19 cases continue to increase around the country and world. I live in Northwestern Washington, near the origin of the coronavirus. Still I remain positive. And on the cold waning winter night, wanderlust grows in my heart and soul and I dream of far off places in hopes that I can pack my suitcase soon enough and hop on a plane. 

Last night I made my flight arrangements to travel to Greece for a month. Basically the entire month of July I hope to spend in Athens and the Greek Islands. I have fallen in love with Greece; and I also love to travel – either around the United States, or around the world. I won’t hesitate to jump on a plane, or hop in my old pickup, to travel far and wide to experience what’s over the next hill or around the next bend. 

My 2020 travel plans currently include two trips to Greece for two months total, as well as a cross-country driving trip and myriad other trips here and there. 

So we’ll see where this blog takes us. The last one I started ended up with me writing approximately nine hundred posts before I lost interest.  If all goes as planned, some of the posts will be written while I am traveling on the road, while others will be posted as I am sitting in my little home in Bellingham, Washington, dreaming of far-off places. I try to limit my writings to fifteen minutes per post, as this computer has the ability to easily and unwittingly rob hours of my life.

I hope that you read and enjoy, and please stop back once in a while.

The Great Basin

Image
Today was a day of transitioning from the Cascades to the Sierras, much of it driving through the Great Basin. I tried to stop off to visit to Crater Lake National Park , but the north entrance was closed, and heading to the other entrance would have added hours onto the trip. Oh well. Six other cars stopping, idling, turning around and departing (in the time I was sitting there transitioning to Plan B - mainly entering the new destination in the GPS) were also probably equally surprised.   Every time I do the I-5 run, I tell myself I should carve out time to visit Crater Lake. Maybe next time.  Although I had not set a destination, I though Lake Tahoe was desirable. I loved there for two ski seasons back in the 00's and have fond memories of the area.  So far, I've driven nine hundred miles. The sparse high dessert is beautiful and desolate. It is also comforting to leave the rush of the interstate. I arrived last night around 8:30pm and found a place on the north shore ...

My Greece - ATMs and Money

Image
  So you arrive in Athens, and chances are you'll need some money. It's always good to carry some cash with you (in my opinion), although credit cards can be used everywhere. I have a debit and credit card from WECU (a local credit union), and have used those mostly. I use the debit card for cash withdrawals and the credit card for many other things. But I am a bit old-fashioned, and like using cash primarily. And it's fun to transact in euros versus dollars. But first, notify your bank that you are traveling to Greece, and include any layovers that you may have in London or wherever.  But now that you're in Greece, if you are using ATMs, avoid the Eurobank ATMs. There are ubiquitous through Greece, but they also charge high withdrawal fees and offer crummy forex fees (assuming you are withdrawing euros and your bank account back home is in US dollars). I've also heard to avoid the airports ATMs, as the fees are a bit higher, but I usually wait until I get into Athe...

Day 1 - Heading South

Image
 Not the most exciting  first night of departing Bellingham. Of course the anxiety if wondering if you completed everything necessary - turning off things, stopping the mail, locking up, and packing everything you need. For me, the key items are my laptop and related accoutrements. Everything else is not really critical or can be purchased tased en route.  And I had the oil changed on my 2003 Ford Ranger that has made plenty of cross country trips in the past. It just hit 150,000 miles, but I drive very little around town, so the bulk of those miles are highway mies. A basic truck that anyone can hopefully work on Ibn any podunk town in this grand country of ours.  So I made it to Roseburg, Oregon last night. I hit Seattle rush hour, which added an hour to the trip. But the rest was pretty uneventful, arriving at the interstate motel around midnight.  Morning conference calls and work until the eleven a.m. checkout, then an afternoon visiting Crater Lake, and ho...
