Love how dedicated you are to your travels, Swoosh. I envy you big time! You'll have so fewer regrets than the rest of us down the line.
Folks are really happy with these electric log splitters because they made their lives easier.

About 5 years ago I decided to invest more in experiences than in material items and I’ve yet to regret the decision.  I’ve slowly been getting my entire extended family to switch to this mindset and honestly they agree that experiences are more important and fulfilling

Ha, I thought a lot out switching my Puy du Fou dates, forget that. Stay on property there is like booking rooms at Old Faithful Inn, the day they go on sale or not at all.

Got my 8pm Sunset Stonehenge  Circle Tour today via English Heritage. This is the limited option that allows you to go into the Stone Circle offered only in the early morning(sunrise)or evening(sunset). I consider myself fairly lucky as I forgot to check for a couple of weeks and they became availible online. Lots of dates had been booked up. Luckily We are hitting it in late May and a date that would work for the evening was still there, otherwise it was 5 and 6:30 am...with teens...nope.

Got off the pot and finally booked at least the going to plane tickets.


6:20am XNA-ORD-LHR 11:20am(SUN)

Why such a long layover in Chicago? Well, 1:20PM Cubs/Reds at Wrigley. ;D An afternoon at the ballpark and pizza afterward should get everyone to sleep a bit on the flight over.

Pretty much a regular season for me this year,
Branson to play, 
Colorado to ride my Harley, 
And a Couple of trips to OK to look at the sand dunes.
