  • England 2010

    Two and a half weeks on the English island has created quite the impression on me. Somewhat purposefully, we avoided the hub of this country, London, and pursued adventures in the South West and as far North as Edinburgh, Scotland, truly appreciating the significant cultural differences in the land of our national heritage. Starting out…

  • Our Geocaching’s Own New Corner

    Have a look at our new JohnMizell.com GeoCaching Site to follow our finds and try to seek our our hides. It’s not much, but it’s there. However, I like commentary, so I may continue to post here as well.. Enjoy!

  • Movin on.

    and now, we’ve gone. Gone from Colorado Springs and on our way to Tucson. From there to Orange County.

One month ago I could have been coaxed onto an airplane for the United States so long as you made sure my things would be handled and shipped behind…

  • On the Road & Website Migration.

    In preparation for a month on the road I’m migrating my webposts to something which is accessible online. While I still have one month to prepare for this reality, I will be blogging from the new site in the mean time in order to break in the new system and work out all the kinks.…

  • France de Jour. Abridged, if you can imagine.

    Due to the degree of difficulty involved in typing on a touch screen while on the road, it’s been frustratingly slow to compose any regular reports regarding whereabouts and activities. However, now that I’m on a machine let me see if I can do some (a great deal of) catching up. Let me note: When…
