Travlin’ Tim took a trip down to DC and took in the sights. Then we went to the boat parade down at the Wharf in DC. Technically, the Potomac River. We had good food and there were some very good bands playing music.
It was in the 50s, temperature wise. Very warm for this time of year in this area..
Tomorrow is my last full day here, Tuesday I head home.
Yesterday was the first day of my 45th high school reunion. It was fun. Even Travlin’ Tim was reunited with an old classmate.
Yesterday I rode from St Louis to Moberly with two classmates, Sheryl and Chris, and then met up with a whole bunch of classmates, most of which I hadn’t seen in 46 years, 1977. (Although it was the 45th high school reunion I moved away in my junior year so for me it was the 46th year since I had seen my classmates)
Below are a few pictures, I’m not going type a lot about how much fun the day was.
Not to mention how nice it was to see Moberly again, my old house, my old elementary school, and the newspaper I delivered.
Today, half the class is playing golf and half (including me) are going on a tout of the high school.
Speaking of gold, below is an old newspaper photo in which I played golf. Can you spot me?
Have a great day!
Had good flights, Barely made my connection in Charlotte and was about 45 minutes late landing in StL because of thunderstorms. But I slept well at my High School friends house and we’re getting ready to head to MOBERLY!
I’m packed, ready to go. I don’t have to leave for over an hour, but I don’t know what to do with myself.
I’m ready to go!
I made it home last night, had a great time in Jamaica. I’m thinking about going back in July.
It was my first trip since before covid. I’m glad to have it under my belt. I will be traveling more from now on.
Of course, I took Travlin’ Tim on the trip.
Im think about retiring him. He’s large and faded, and has been broken and glued. Mostly he’s too valuable to me to risk any more. Meet Backpacker Bob:
But I don’t know for sure yet. I love Travlin’Tim. And he loves to travel. Travlin’Tim has the history, and the experience. Maybe he should just keep on with me until the very end. I dunno, I’m thinking here!
And on a side note: someone once suggested Travlin’ Tim was from the Travelocity gnome. He is not. He is inspired from the French movie Amelie, and I believe he predates the Travelocity’s gnome. Just FYI. I would guess the their gnome is from the same movie.
it’s a Monday holiday here, I got back late last night and in a little while I get to go get my two dawgies.
Have a wonderful week!
My costume cost about $6, $5 for a fake beard and $1 for a piece of red construction paper.
I present to you:

Let me be the first to wish you a Happy Halloween!
Got back from Cayman Brac yesterday evening. Had a really good time. Went to a Star Trek party in the Bat Cave, saw lots of friends, ate a lot, rested a lot and the time there was way too short. Below are pictures.
Pink Flamingo by the runway. Huge and amazing!

Very polite
Now it’s back to work! Have a good week!
Up early, getting ready to head to Cayman Brac for the day. I was having weird dreams I can’t remember when the alarm went off. Think that’s why I feel kinda crabby.
More later
Got back from Florida late last night. Had fun taking pictures of Travlin’ Tim.
Still have a lot to learn about WordPress. There are at least three ways to post a post, and I have to learn the differences. Spent a lot of time trying to find how to do a photo album, which is what is above, now I ‘d like to put captions under the photos….. There’s a lot to learn!
Have a good day!
