42 PENNIES: Time Travelers

What's All This About, Then?
(aka Your Many Questions Indelicately Answered)

(hint #1: scroll down and this won't be as hard to read. You're welcome.)

We go on trips. Road trips. Other trips. But mostly road trips. Sometimes (ideally) long ones. Sometimes not.

Yes, this is the same blog as the one about the Oregon Trail. Yes, it used to have a stagecoach and a dusty feel to it, which went along with the Oregon Trail very nicely. Yes, that was a great trip. That was three years ago. (the blog is still here if you want to read it...it starts here)

So...as we embark on the latest chapter of our roamin' ways, we want to invite you to come along. First, we might get lonely. I mean, we don't really get lonely much, but it's possible. Second, you might miss us. Third, you just might be nosy. And fourth, we are notoriously and and historically bad at sending postcards, circulating photos, keeping up with a scrapbook; as a matter of fact, with documenting our trip in most every way. We figured this might be the 21st century solution. It worked for the last trip, which was (as you know) three years ago (sniff). So we're keeping it going.

We hope you'll pop in, read about where we are, what we're doing, see photos of our adventures, and experience our gypsy hardships (like no room service) vicariously! Most importantly, we hope you'll add your comments and greetings, which we will get when we get to one of our stopping points. Souvenir requests will receive due consideration (Hint #1: Success is highly correlated with tackiness).

For those so inclined (you know who you are), we will also list links to related sites so that you can learn with us as we learn on the road, and maybe visit some of the same sights in the future!

Happy Trails to us all!

Love, Phoebe and Robin

Time Travelers

Ooo-eee-ooo....

Through the magic of time travel, we are recreating our missing two days in the blog, and putting them in their proper order....so if you look back in the blog, you will find posts from the days that we missed.

Fancy, huh? I thought so.

(only one is done so far...Lawrence, Kansas, but the other one, the riveting "Hastings, Nebraska" is coming...stay tuned)

I just caught up on your travels thus far this morning and I have to say that I'm disappointed you left me behind. I'll be reading along so please keep in mind I'm a Phoenix teacher but, I too, am on summer vacation. Take care, learn a lot and happy travels. Ella and James say hello. They truly miss their "kids" at school:); July 20, 2007 at 10:14 AM

You gave me the biggest laugh of the day. I'm still smiling a half hour later!

We're on Oregon Trail Hiatus due to the emergency status resulting from the release of the new Harry Potter book. You'll see in the next post...

Thanks for chiming in. Phoebe was delighted to hear from someone from school!!!

And big hugs to Ella & James--Maybe Phoebe will send a video greeting to them in a future blog post!
