Yee Haw

My brother wants to buy some Tickets to the 2010 NFR Rodeo and take the whole family to the Rodeo.  I can remember going to some local rodeos in our youth, but I haven’t been to one in many years.  My brother, on the other hand, enjoys going to as many rodeos as he can.  I think that if he had been able to learn to ride and rope he would have been a cowboy too!

I never really even realized that there were National Rodeo competitions!  I don’t know why, I just never really thought about it very much I guess!  I told my brother that if he was willing to pay for the tickets, the travel, and the hotel room then I’d be glad to go!  But I did offer to split the cost of my parents tickets with him.  I think that would be a pretty good present for the two of them.

In the meantime, I guess I’ll try to find some sports channels on television that have rodeos to watch.  Before we go that far to something that big I’d like to learn a little bit more about the sport.  I don’t think I’d enjoy watching the bull riding; watching someone get gored would really scare me to pieces!

Daydreaming about globe trotting

Monday, January 18th, 2010

For as long as I can remember I’ve loved reading about foreign countries.  The exotic cultures simply fascinate me!  Ant the beautiful photos are so inspiring me!  And I love to watch the Travel Channel whenever I get the chance.  I’ve been saving my pennies for years now, hoping to be able to save up enough to travel around Europe.  If I’m lucky I should be able to find some cheap holiday deals to get me there in the next year or two!  

Over the past several years I’ve become friends with quite a few people from Spain and from Greece and they have regaled me with tales of how beautiful their countries are.  And they tell me that if I go to their home towns that they have relatives that would be more than happy to let me stay with them for a few days as an honored guest!  Now how nice is that?

So I”m focusing now on trying to figure out the best value in Hotels in Alcudia Spain, and the best value Cheap Holidays in Greece to see what I can come up with.  I’m using the website www.ulookubook.com – it seems to have everything I need!

Seeing Mount Olympus has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember!  I’d love to get over there this summer if it is at all possible!
