We aren’t always fancy folk, but Texans have more community spirit and love of country than you can find most anywhere. A group of dedicated veterans, teachers and students have made this evident in a local, hometown project The Veteran’s Honor Garden just a little North of Houston in Kingwood, Texas. A visit to this living park will make a …
The natural wonders on Long Island, Bahamas continue to amaze me. The deepest seawater blue hole in the world is nestled in a small cove on the ocean side of the island. About two thirds of the way South on the island and just north of Clarence Town which is the capitol, a shell and gravel road branches off of …
Long Island, Bahamas is a very simple place; there are not any spas, casinos, or resorts (at least not like you find on most Caribbean islands). You certainly would never have found Anna Nicole hanging out around here. It is one of the Bahamian Family Islands inhabited primarily by long time residents with a few “tourists” who don’t mind things …
“At a time when the world seems to be spinning hopelessly out of control, There’s deceivers and believers and old in-betweeners, That seem to have no place to go. Well, it’s the same old song, it’s right and it’s wrong, And living is just something that I do. And I found myself in you. I look to the stars, tried …

So you may want to consider a basic emergency kit to keep in the car at all times and a travel kit tailored to a specific trip.

Back when we all purchased our fuel from full service stations these simple items were checked by a smiling young man while he topped off your tank. Those stations are hard to find these days, so if you don’t have a repair shop that will do this for you then download this simple check list. It is a great way …
North Americans love their cars. And nothing goes with cars better than the road trip. Freedom from daily schedules, new sights and the open road – it’s great! But there’s nothing like car trouble to bring the fun to a grinding halt. Now you can’t always avoid problems, but you can take steps to reduce the probability of getting sidelined …
Now that we are safe on Long Island it is time to start the official road trip part of this saga. First some Bahamian rules of the road: You are supposed to drive on the left side of the road, but any local will tell you that only applies when someone is coming the other way. Otherwise you pretty …
So, we made it! The Jeep was there a week before us and had been moved from the dock to a patch of sand underneath a ficus tree at G & G Shipping. Now, I know that we are used to house plants called ficus trees, but this tree had been planted on the island over-top of an old water …
There is a lot of freeway between Humble, Texas and South Florida. As we continue the state side portion of our “Road Trip Across The Ocean” there is a single striking image that stands out. There was an alligator on the side of the road in Louisiana. Yep, that’s what I said – “A freakin’ alligator on the side …
