The Travel Season

The 2015 Travel Season Begins!

We have a busy schedule of trips planned this year.

Later this month we are going to Germany for a few days; so I thought that I should practice my German.

Beer drinking that is...

We fly to Frankfurt, spend one night there and then drive to Siegen. We spend a few nights there and we will attend the 150th Anniversary celebrations of Dango & Dienenthal.

The companies seem to last a long time in this area, a few years ago I drove past a plant with a sign outside showing that they had been in business there for 500 years.

On the return leg, we drive from Siegen back to Frankfurt and go straight to the airport for our flight home.

Early in July we go up to Idyllwild in the mountains near Palm Springs for a few days. Missy will go with us on this trip as the hotel takes dogs as do most of the restaurants. The hotel is more like a collection of cabins in the woods, some large some small, but all fairly rustic.

This is the area around the hotel.

Later in July we go to Florida where we will do the Bogart thing and head for Key Largo and on down to Key West. This is an area of Florida we have not yet visited. From Key West we drive back north to Orlando and meet up with Eileen and Neil (Sister and Brother-In-Law) along with their daughters Stephanie and Diane.

August is devoid of trips (For Now)

In September we are going to Spain, first to Madrid for a few days and then on to Ibiza to meet up with Teresa and Ron (Sister and Brother-In-Law).

We fly back to Madrid for an overnight stay and non-stop from Madrid to LAX the next day.

In October, we have a tentative plan to go to San Luis Obispo for a meeting of the California Ariel owners club.

We have definite plans to go to Palm Springs for Harley Heat. This will give us the opportunity to meet up with Leon and Barb. They are coming in from Arizona for the event. Our friends Jeff and Kelly will also be joining us. It should be hot in more ways than one.

Watch for updates as we go along.

Ciao Bella,
