Travel day for the Mediterranean trip! Flight leaves around 3pm; stop in Dullles, then on to Barcelona. Two nights in Barcelona, then onto the cruise ship. Trying my new Biaggi suitcase. It holds a LOT. That is my checked bag, and I am using my grey travel tote with my purse in it. 32 folks on this trip with Sam and See The World Tours. This is my 5th trip with Sam. My last two scheduled trips were cancelled due to C19.

Up and loaded by 8am and headed back to the rally site at the fairgrounds for a cup of coffee and to meet up with Donna and Don. We stopped at Joe's dinner on the way out of town for a hearty breakfast before hitting the road. Gorgeous day to ride back! We stopped at Lagerhead's for some BBQ and to say our goodbyes. Many thanks to Rod, and Don and Donna, and all the other folks I met for a fun rally! It was a wonderful rally! But, it's always good to be home sa...

I was up at 0530 and on the road by 0700 in Bennington, Vermont. Beautiful morning, albeit a bit chilly at 44 degrees! All bundled up and enjoyed the twists and turns on the way into Troy, New York. Hit a bit of fog along the way whilst traveling next to the river. But, it was a beautiful ride. Lots and lots of traffic and construction starting in Rochester, NY and continuing all the way into Eastern Ohio! I sat baking on the highway somewhere in NY for about a...

Got up at 0600 hours, breakfast down the street at the Midwest Cafe. On the road by 0700, foggy and very chilly. Rained overnight. Just a straight shot of continuous riding from here to get home. 350 miles of not much scenery. Got off the Ohio Turnpike at Rt 250 as there was toooo much traffic and construction on the pike. Rod got off there too and headed south, as I headed east on Rt 113 for home. Stopped at my local watering hole, Mulligan's, for a quick ...
