Santa Monica, CA to Marfa, TX
Monday, March 30 I had spent the last few days packing and re-packing the plane so that all the little bits and pieces I needed were on board, but out of the way. I had the boys’ clothes packed along … Continue reading
(Flying) Ciderhouse Rules
Before we took off on our recent Spring Break trip (coast-to-coast from Santa Monica, CA to Washington, DC) the boys each received two pages which told them the rules in the plane and suggested some things to do if they … Continue reading
The Plan
It is time for another adventure. Rudy and Dexter each have two weeks off for Spring Break, but they don’t line up (Rudy gets out first and goes back first). So we will bring along a bunch of work for … Continue reading

West to East!
We made it! We are in New Hampshire in a lovely house overlooking a pleasant lake. I have just barely recovered from eighteen and a half hours of flying. We traveled nearly twenty-three hundred miles. We hope to continue to … Continue reading
Wednesday: Ithaca, NY to Lebanon, NH
On Saturday morning we hope to continue our coast-to-coast journey to the actual coast by landing in East Hampton and having dinner on the sand by the lapping waves of the Atlantic Ocean. Until then, this is the end of … Continue reading
Tuesday: Champaign, IL to Ithaca, NY
After sleeping the sleep of the near-dead, I rolled over at 6:30am and pulled my laptop up to check the weather. The air conditioner seemed to ignore the thermostat (my friend Marc would have loved it) so the room was … Continue reading
