My Life and Travels
First full day of vacation was a driving day. Thursday left home at 6:00 pm and drove till 11:00 pm. Friday we hit the road at 5:30 am and got to Richard’s at 7:00 pm. Sunday morning we are going to the Reno balloon races. Yes vacation is Great.

Tomorrow September 9, 2010 we start our fall birthday vacation. This is my 60th birthday present to myself, 2 count them 2 – two week vacations. We took 2 weeks in May June and now two weeks in September. I get to work until about 5:00 pm tomorrow. I have a meeting that starts at 4:00 p.m.. We should hit the road at 5:45 or 6:00 heading south to Carson City to spend the weekend with my brother.
Well that’s all you need to know as of right now. I’ll update you as we move south.
We spent the holiday weekend at home playing and getting ready for VACATION.
Got a new computer and I’m spending time getting it all set up for the vacation south. Also added a D-Link DIR-615 wireless router replacing the wired D-Link Brian bought when he was home from college. That was a long time ago (and I still miss him).
I want to use the laptop to do more photo editing and getting better at taking pictures. I hope to post more pictures while we are on vacation than I did last spring. In the spring I could only post picture took on my cell phone. The last couple of years I have been downloading pictures from my camera to either my ipod or later Jean’s ipod, Jean has the 80 gig drive and I have a 30. When we got home I’d then transfer the pictures to my computer. On this trip I’ll download to the laptop and than be able to upload to the website or google site. I’ve set up the computer to tether to my Droid for internet connection. Should be fun.
Any way it was another great weekend with a 3 day work week.
Just added to my collection of toys, Dell 17 inch laptop. Hard to call it a laptop it’s more like the whole desk top.
If I was going to get a laptop I wanted one with 10 key keypad. I was also looking for an i5 processor and a Dell. I could get this one at Bestbuy for about the same price as ordering it from Dell. I actually waited to long to be able to get this toy directly from Dell before we left on vacation. If I ordered it now it would not come until after we left. I want to us this computer to up load pictures from my camera and try to improve on them.
Any way I don’t need it but I think I’ll enjoy it.
