    We've never been to the PV area. Doing a bday trip for Mrs SPD. I promised her something nice and easy because we're planning another archeology trip in Feb but this time deep in the jungles of Guatemala.

    We have a Jeep Grand Cherokee in our garage. Had it shipped over from Oregon. That car feels like it was made to drive those roads like Mercedes autos are meant to drive on the Autobahn. As much as I hate to admit it, we’re looking at vans as a second vehicle to keep there. We often have a few extra guests, so having a car that can haul 7-8 would be great (plus a second car, plus the extra cargo space). I’d really like to find an el Camino and take that over and send the Jeep back over here. I’d settle for a small pickup, but el Camino would be pimp.

    Nice and easy? Well, she’s got one of two with you?

    (Goes without saying, but OB will tell us all you’re not nice!)

    My oldest son had a restored el camino in San Luis Obispo he drove for years...he restores classic cars and sells them as a hobby. He's doing a mid 60s Chevy short bed truck now with all the trimmings like power steering ..brand new motor...running gear...it looks amazing. I'd think a van is way more Hilo than a moving swimming pool though...when it rains in Hilo it rains brah

    Im finally getting around t0 going through my photos from my Italy trip in April. Im experimenting with some filters and cropped things to make them pop a little better. I usually like to print off some of my best trip photos onto canvas prints or mixtiles for house decorations. Anyway, thought you all might enjoy these also. These are all from Florence and the surrounding region, Siena, San Gimignano, and Bologna.

    So my Oct vacay I was planning is probably on hold. Wife's Mother In Law got covid while on a cruise and ended up in the hospital in canada. Almost lost her, but hopefully she pulls through. Wife was there for the past week.

    Not sure how much insurance is gonna cover on this. Wife spent a lot going there last minute.

    Sure did, on your recommendation. It was great, had to wait 45 minutes in line though. I got some pictures but none of them really turned out great, it just looks like a crowd of people under a sign. It was an amazing sandwich though, although we found equally great ones without all the fanfare.

    damn thats really tough, hope all works out with her there. One of the reasons I prioritize travel in my life is you never know when something like that will happen. Got to enjoy what you have, while you have it and that goes for the people in your life.

    It's worth a visit but hit it in the off hours if you can. It's such a popular place that they have taken over 3 store front, all of them had 45 minutes waits and there were people working out front to direct traffic and make sure the lines were equal size. The whole little street they are on is known for being a lunch street food area and there are other great food there. I felt kind of bad for the poor kebob guy who was standing in his shop all by himself, just watching people line up in front of his shop all waiting for sandwiches.
