Prius Hearse Makes Your Last Road Trip a Green Ride

Road Trip: The First Hemmings Cruise-In of 2009
2009-06-19 07:01:00 Our luck with cruise-ins so far this year has not registered on the positive side. We canceled the first two under threats of rain and thunderstorms, and it almost looked like we'd have to cancel last night's cruise-in, but we figured there had to be a few diehards who couldn't wait another tw
Giants Go Winless on Road-Trip
2009-04-18 00:48:00 The first road trip of the 2009 season couldn't have gone much worse for the Giants. They got swept in San Diego by a surprising Padres squad that is playing way better than they were expected too. Then they traveled an hour north to LA for three and things didn't get any better.The defense and starting pitching were both horrendous throughout the trip. Barry Zito threw better than his line showed in Thursday's finale at Dodger Stadium, but once again, defensive blunders put the Giants in an early deficit, and the offense couldn't make up for it. And it was another misplay by Fred Lewis in left-field that did Zito in. Lewis had a terrible road trip defensively, misplaying various fly-balls and costing the Giants numerous runs. Those mistakes rest solely on Fred Lewis. Now, I'm not saying Lewis was the reason the Giants lost the games, because that's not entirely the case. In order to win ballgames, you need to score runs, and the Giants really struggled to do that on the trip....
Road trip to Belgium - Brugge, West Flanders, Belgium
2009-04-04 15:26:00 Jump to the full entry & travel map Brugge, West Flanders, BelgiumVisiting Belgium has been on our list of things to do since we arrived in France. I did a little research on the best things to see, do, and eat and Kyle rented a car. Here's what went down: We left the rainy, foggy valley of the Seine and literally took the highway toward the direction of sunshine. Cruising North toward Etretat (France), we had the darkest of clouds over our shoulders and sun in our eyes. After about an hour or so we arrived at the beach front town of Etretat. A slow-paced town nudged between sun-bleached cliffs and arches that extend into the sea. The beach is made up of the most eye catching, smooth, sun baked pebbles. I pocketed a handful of my very favorite. We listened as the waves were sucked back to the ocean, a low whistle as the water rushed past the rattling stones. Back on the road headed to Belgium, we passed by acres of lush farmland. The fie...

Canadian Road Trip
2009-01-09 15:39:00 Let?s say that you are taking a road trip to Canada with stops in Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto. Where would you go in each of these cities? The reason for this post is because I am taking a road trip to Canada with stops in Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto. What a coincidence! I attended a wedding in Montreal almost 10 years ago, but don?t remember much about the city besides taking a river cruise and visiting the William Shatner Center at McGill University. I?ve never been to Ottawa, and figure that since I?m there, maybe I can be Prime Minister for the day. Toronto is one of my favorite places, and I plan on visiting the Hockey Hall of Fame on this trip since I?ve never been there before. I?m heading to these cities as part of my third annual hockey road trip and will be attending NHL games in each place. Besides the hockey games, I?m looking for suggestions of things to do. Therefore, please feel free to add any suggestions about things to do and see in the comments section be...

Road Trip to Vancouver
2008-08-21 14:42:00 Desperately needing a break after a long and stressful period dealing with estate matters, we packed up the (new to us) van and drove out to Vancouver, via overnight stops in Jasper and the Sun Peaks Resort near Valemont. Jasper was pleasant, the dining at Sun Peaks even better, though Mary's on-going tooth ache somewhat detracted from the experience for her. We took the driving in easy stages, stopping for a couple of hours at the lake in Hope (photos above and below) and a couple of other scenic views to make the trip seem more like part of our holidays rather than just a way of getting to Vancouver.This display at the tourist info center in Valemount (below) suggests to me that beavers can be terribly indecisive....

Top Ten Things Overheard On My Family Road Trip
2008-06-30 21:51:00 When I fully recover, next summer, I shall post about the mileage odyssey that was my recent family vacation road trip. Did you know that with three stops (1 to eat, 2 to see the redwoods and a third for a catnap at one of our state?s lovely rest areas) that you can drive from northern Oregon to southern California in only one day? Literally one full day. As in leave Oregon at 9 in the morning and walk in your front door at 9 the next morning. I now have a whole new appreciation for truckers, several of whom I may have inadvertently cut off during those last few harrowing hours of my zombie driving. Having seen the sunrise and sunset and sunrise again, I can?t help but wonder if the feelings I experienced are the same feelings astronauts experience with every full orbit around the earth. I?m pretty sure I saw a cow tap dancing with a llama about an hour north of Magic Mountain on Interstate 5, but then I was pretty loopy at the time and had was listening to a Spanish speaking ...

Elegy for the road trip
2008-05-27 12:25:00 When I was a wee Tami, I didn?t play with dolls much. Oh, I had the requisite Barbies and baby dolls, but they didn?t really capture my imagination. Instead, my best friend Carol and I spent a lot of time playing with our vast collection of Fisher-Price Little People. Remember those things? Between us, Carol and I had two A-frame houses, two traditional houses, two farms, a Holiday Inn and a McDonald?s?enough for an entire Little People town. We would stretch our little homes and buildings along the long, shaded deck behind my house and create stories for our little families: we would take our little parents to work; take the little kids to school; engineer little family squabbles; and?this was the most fun?take the whole little gang on road trips. The woods behind my house became Yosemite National Park. The drop from the deck to the lawn below became the Grand Canyon.My Fisher-Price travel fantasies eventually matured into a new way to play road trip. My friends and I would positio...

Road Trip: Baked Cupcakes in Red Hook, Brooklyn
2008-05-18 18:55:00 Former Baked Cupcake Yesterday, the editorial team went road-tripping to Red Hook, Brooklyn - a favored destination for many East Villagers who have been repulsed by the urban sprawl swallowing the E.V. and yearn for a vibrant, creative community that brings back memories of an East Village from bygone days. An unexpected pleasure in Red Hook is the bakery, Baked, located at 359 Van Brunt between Dikeman and Wolcott Streets. Its deceivingly diminutive cupcakes are certain to add layers to anyone’s inner thigh. No doubt cupcake aficionados would be pleased even if it may be hard to find. When visiting Baked, choosing among a variety of original flavors is a pleasant challenge. Yesterday’s “winner” had a dark chocolate cake base, creamy mocha topping and an unexpected, sea salt sprinkling on top. I’ve never salted my cupcake (at least not in public) but this one left my tastebuds mesmerized as the cupcake quickly whizzed by on its way to my stomac...

Two Wheels Good - Four Wheels Bad - The Road Trip
2008-05-09 16:00:00 E ver since the internal combustion engine was invented, the road trip has offered a romantic allure for the traveler. But whereas journeying by car merely does the job, traveling by motorbike is associated with the most carefree of all road tripping experiences. Travel by motorbike offers many things a car deprives us of; first and foremost a much stronger connection with the landscape through which you pass. Motorcyclists often speak fondly of the sounds and smells of the outside world that they enjoy as they pass. This is something that their car driving counterparts tend to miss out on, being confined to the insides of their vehicle. Motorcyclists' tales of the road have often been shared with armchair travelers in the form of books, films and TV documentaries. One of the most famous motorbike trips to be enjoyed by the mainstream was undertaken by Argentinean-born revolutionary icon, Che Guevara. The image of Guevara's face is said to be the most reprod...

Queer Paranormal Road Trip: The George Hotel
2008-04-25 06:04:00 Move over, Green Lady. You have some company.The George Hotel in Dereham, Norfolk has a few known ghosts: The Green Lady, the maid, and the night porter. Paranormal investigators from around the United Kingdom have visited this 18th century inn for many years to find evidence of spirits. Apparitions have been seen on the second floor. Glasses fly off shelves in the bar. People experience pain in their arms on the stairs where a maid fell to her death.And then someone discovered another presence.John Blythe of Haunted Weekend stumbled across a spirit in what was once the hotel's bakery. A male employee of the hotel mentioned a chilling experience while in the dry storage room. An unseen force was trying to unzip his pants one day. A medium picked up on a female presence in the area which kept touching her long hair in an effort to lift it up (as you would expect in a bakery... for sanitary purposes). A male medium also sensed a presence, only it kept trying to tug at his belt, much ...

Queer Paranormal Road Trip: Mile High Grill & Inn
2008-04-18 06:09:00 Is there a cold pussy beside you in bed?Hopefully, that means you're staying at the Mile High Grill & Inn in Jerome, Arizona. What once was yet another ghost town in the southwest has become a lovely, quaint little town. And what better reason to go than to stay at the lesbian-owned-and-operated (and reportedly haunted) hotel.Owners Jet and Liz are aware of some strange happenings in their building. Unexplained sounds and misty shapes have been witnessed by visitors. The doors of an armoire in the Lariat and Lace Room have mysteriously fallen off their hinges several times. And then there's the feline spirit which frequently sits on the beds.At one time, the downstairs restaurant was a hardware store. A man purchased a gun and was stopped by a sheriff as he was leaving. The man opened fire and the sheriff shot him dead on the sidewalk. Some believe his presence can still be felt in the stairwell leading to the upstairs hotel.So if you find yourself in Arizona, looking for a li...
