Bath, Stonehenge, Windsor
Thursday, April 29th, 2010
With a grand total of about five hours sleep, my night’s rest on Monday, going into Tuesday, March 30, 2010, held the record for the most consecutive minutes of shut-eye during the week of my London trip. Bob and I got up that morning at around 6:30am, got ready, and headed down to the continental breakfast in the basement floor of the Central Park Hotel. I was very disappointed that it was so skimpy. For some reason, I had expected the amazing buffet that we had gotten in Guatemala and I had seen in many of the hotels in Europe. But this week, I survived on a couple of buttered croissants and the occasional bowl of mushy raisin and bran cereal. Read the rest of this entry »
Even after an exhausting day at 
Back home in Dayton, I was so tired from the road trip that Bob and I had taken across West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey on the morning of Sunday, June 20, 2009, I almost considered sending Bob out alone to see the few sites in my own backyard of Dayton, Ohio, that he wanted to see. Then I thought better and decided to be a good host…and get some photos with some of the cool things that we actually have in my little old home town. 
The last day that Bob and I spent on the road of our weeklong road trip through Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey came on Saturday, June 19, 2009. There were just a few places left on our itinerary that we needed to hit, and then there were a few select locations that had been on Bob’s to-do list since our last Ohio road trip. And finally, there were a couple of spots that we had in fact visited during that trip, but since Bob’s digital camera had dropped his photos of these places, he needed to see again. 
I had had virtually three full days in a row of traveling and sightseeing in Raleigh, North Carolina, and Charleston, South Carolina – and I was ready to spend my last day of my final major trip of 2009 relaxing in Myrtle Beach on Friday, July 31. The exhaustion I felt at that point actually allowed me to sleep a full eight hours that night before waking up to a bit of bacon and eggs…and two visitors.
