Many of you have reminded me of that fact so I thought I'd try and shoot up at least a brief one here in Moab, Utah this morning before we head out to Arches ... http://www.seizethejourney.com/blog/?p=238 Scott has survived his birthday as well as the first day of our cross country adventure on two wheels today! We made great time today covering the 350 miles to the home of a friend of mine (who also happens to own an Yamaha FJR, the same motorcycle I ... http://www.seizethejourney.com/blog/?p=237 Time again to awaken the blog that I rarely use!

I'm guessing most people landing on this page have followed my journey, but for the unknowing you can get caught up ... http://www.seizethejourney.com/blog/?p=236 ***An excerpt from a Journey Report posted on my website (SeizeTheJourney.com) explaining CouchSurfing :   In yesterday's report I mentioned I would be utilizing another option for accommodations (aside from camping and hotels) during this 7 week journey to the East Coast.  Well, it's called “CouchSurfing” and it's something I've been ... http://www.seizethejourney.com/blog/?p=235 Despite the fact that we out live our pets and we all know this when we welcome them into our lives, it still doesn't make it any easier when the time comes to say good-bye.

I must say though that getting both my long distance bikes ready has been a rather unusual challenge! I'll try and post updates/photos of our journey to this blog during the week he's here. AGirl http://www.seizethejourney.com/blog/?p=221 This past week a friend from Vancouver BC ("Alex") rolled into Phoenix after being on the road since late September.

I needed a break... not from riding, but from writing. I'm really not all that in to writing, as strange as that may seem given all the things I've posted on my website. Anywho, I'll take this opportunity to wish everyone a great ... http://www.seizethejourney.com/blog/?p=216 Just got back from an 8 day, 3k mile motorcycle jaunt from Pheonix to California's mountains, valleys, and coasts. It ended up being a rather spontaneous journey (pre-departure plans were for 3-4 days of 1600 miles) that certainly included a few surprises along the way.
