Travels with Iggy, 10,549.6 Miles

Posted 11-14-2013 at 11:54 PM by Road Geezer

Pulling up to our home in San Jose last Friday night about 8:30, 10,549.6 miles was the reading on our trip odometer. It’s Sunday night, and we’re still not completely moved back in. Every once and a while, one of us remembers, “rats, it’s still in Iggy.”

This was a trip of a lifetime, an opportunity granted to few, and for which Bobbie and I are very grateful. Overall impressions? We have many. Here are some.

On occasion Bobbie and I have been fortunate enough to actually see a number of French masterpieces up close and personal. So, it was after we returned from a short excursion to Mackinac Island on Lake Huron this evening that I was trying to figure out why I so enjoyed...

Travels with Iggy, Niagara Falls

Posted 11-14-2013 at 11:15 PM by Road Geezer

ONE REALLY NICE TOURIST TRAP

The most northeasterly point on our itinerary was to be Niagara Falls--a "bucket list" destination. We almost missed it for the lamest of reasons.

That morning the helpful receptionist at a local KOA on Grand Island marked the route on a good map mentioning that the Rainbow Bridge was closest to the Falls; travel time looked to be about 15 minutes in mid morning traffic. We had been told the Canadian side had a much better...
