Las Vegas 2024

Las Vegas Nevada

Wow. Not a road trip. Flew from Philly to Las Vegas, Nevada. Met Danny and Cori visiting from Hawaii. Las Vegas was the halfway point. Haven't seen them since we all left Korea around 2014.

Sphere and the old strip were the highlights for me. Spent most of the time just walk, taslking, eating, interspersed with short breaks playing a slot or tasble at different casinos on our walks.

Kentucky Derby 2024

The Southern Loop

My Goal was to get to the 2024 Kentucky Derby at My Buddies House in Louisville Kentucky. Turn this into an 8 day road trip.

This guy is a legitimate Kentucky Colonel who (along with his buddies) has been hosting a Derby party for over 50 years.

This will be my third time going. I attended once in 1986, then in 2003, and now in 2024.

I went there the long way around taking the familiar southern route to pass through and visit other folks in South Caroloina, Atlanta, Chattanooga and a few other places. And on the way back following the Ohio River through Portsmouth and then into Pennsylvania town of Ohiopyle.

Eclipse 2024

Eclipse 2024 in Erie, PA

On April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will be visible to fortunate observers in the United States along a narrow band, approximately 115 miles (185 km) wide, that will cross fifteen states from Texas to Maine.

Nothing there is beyond hope, nothing can be sworn impossible, nothing wonderful, since Zeus, father of the Olympians, made night from mid-day, hiding the light of the shining sun, and sore fear came upon men. Archilochus, Greek poet, following the total solar eclipse of 647 BCE

I decided to make this an 8 day roadtrip with Morfy. Leave From Philadelphia and head to Erie, Pa at Lake Erie to see this eclipse. On to Kalamazoo, MI to see an old friend. Then through Canada following Lake Erie to Buffolo, Toronto. Back through Niagra Falls into NY and onto the Finger Lakes Region in NY. Then Home back to Philly.

Completed as planned. Did about 2,100 miles in 8 days.

Cherry Blossom 2023

2023 Cherry Blossoms at Washington DC

Great daytrip to Washington DC. The blooms were wonderful. The food trucks so-so. It was a fun day. Oblivious to what the future was bringing down on us.
