After leaving Kuekenhof in the afternoon we had to make our way to yet another country, Belgium.  Our destination was Ghent.  Not too much happened on the drive, but here are a few of the hi-lites and of course some pictures. Decided to take the scenic route out one of the Netherlands peninsulas. Saw many [...]

Our next destination was the Keukenhof Gardens near Amsterdam in The Netherlands.  I once again got to experience the fantastic German autobahn.  There was one stretch that was completely empty so we decided to try to max out my car’s speed.  We got up to 245 Km/hour or 152 MPH, it was awesome!!!  That’s the [...]

So I (Sheila) thought I would write a short (or long depending on how fast I write on the last leg of this train journey) reflection blog about the past 6 months + 9 days here in the UK. Some of the best times in my life have taken place in this short time period [...]

Sheila took me on a surprise trip to Wales a few weekends back.  She didn’t actually take me, but she planned it all and then I did the driving.  I took a half day off work and we left in the early afternoon, after some dificulties getting our destination into our GPS (in my Garmin [...]

This week Henry’s car arrived!!! We were both very excited and a little bit scared…Henry hasn’t driven in two weeks and for sure never on the “wrong” side of the road. Henry did just fine though, remembering a few simple rules, 1. Left to live, 2. Look right at roundabouts, 3. Look right and then [...]
