So I've created a site that's based on our travels hither and yon, there and back again, somewhere beyond the blue horizon and so on. Whither shall we go in the near future?

As a service to our readers we present the following prospective travel plans with a purported intention to post trip reports. Said trip reports will depend on the effectiveness of the beatings administered by Mary, on getting me off my lazy butt to write them.

New Orleans Extravaganza!

Fun and hilarity ensue as we journey to the Big Easy (does anyone actually use that phrase anymore after that Dennis Quaid movie?).

In any case, a wedding is in the works for one of my brothers, and we've been invited in order to supply additional wedding gifts. And to partake of the many regional specialties such as crawfish, po' boys, muffalettas, barbequed shrimp, Hurricanes, and chicory coffee. I'm not sure yet what we'll be having after dinner.

Vegas Roadtrip with a Side Trip to the Grand Canyon!

Sin and depravity in the desert! Then we'll hit Vegas.

Mary, in one of those strange quirks of fate, has never been to either place, even though she spent much of her childhood in Arizona. I can understand not having seen the Grand Canyon - but, Vegas! How can one have missed this neon wonderland?

I'll be posting an investigative report on the depths to which a human can sink in this cesspool of lust and avarice, if I can sneak away from Mary for a few hours. Oh, and we'll go and look into a big hole in the ground.

Disney World! …Again.

Mary will be traveling sans husband for a delightful trip to deepest, darkest Central Florida. Will she survive the depredations of the bloodthirsty natives? Will she be able to find potable alcohol? Will the humidity make her hair look like a weather balloon? Only time will tell.

I'll be conducting an in-depth investigation into the effects of an all-beer-and-cigar diet while she is away.
