Accounts of our travels
Harry Forsdick and Marsha Baker
|
Marsha and I have been traveling together for 40 years and as individuals for another 10 years prior to that. In that time we have traveled to many locations in the USA, as well as Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Europe, Australia, Thailand, Cambodia, China, and Israel.
For quite some time, we have written accounts of these trips for publication on the web. As the web and we have matured, the quality of these presentations has improved (we hope). And, as web browsers have improved, some of our webs have broken. Harry will attempt to fix them. The following table lists the trips we have taken and the URLs of webs that document those trips. We have listed these trips in reverse chronological order. |

This summer we unplugged from the Internet for an entire month at our shared summer house in the Berkshires. It was great to reconnect to interests that get sacrificed by the siren song of the Internet.

Our slow travelling to and then around the Southwest. Visiting places we have always wanted to go to on the way to Taos NM where we then spent 5 days. Then on to Mendenales, NM near Santa Fe to visit with friends for a week. Then the real traveling began with stays in Santa Fe, Northern Arizona with Ben, Sedona for a week by ourselves. Will then joined us for the Pheonix and then back east through Amarillo, Oklahoma City, Little Rock and Nashville portion of the trip. Finally just M&H on the return to Lexington through Ashville, NC, and the Blue Ridge Mountains.

And now for something completely different: the Baker-Forsdick's staying in one place for 8 weeks! Great exercise: biking, kayaking, swimming. Great weather: sun every day for 2 months. Great birds and aligators. Great Red Sox spring training baseball with both boys. Great visiting with Alex and Kathy.
