Start of the adventure
... The first month has been planned going from Poland through to Hong Kong but after that is a mystery with no time limit of going back. I sit here nervous wondering if travelling solo is a good idea through countries like Russia and China and to be honest it still hasn't sank in that I'm going. It actually feels that I'm going to be heading back to my house ...
Monday 2nd Feb This is our first adventure into the unknown, something everybody should do before they're 100! It all started with a casual glance in a Travel Agent's window by Jennifer last year. Packing now complete and 'checked in' on line we're ready for the off tomorrow - stay ...
Happy Christmas and thank you
Well I have been back for over a week now. This extraordinary experience is beginning to fade now I am in this new chapter.
I am so grateful and humbled by the whole experience. As I spend Christmas with cherished friends and dear family, I realise just how lucky I am.
The support I have had from really wonderful people who are kind and caring also humbles me. This entry is for them to say a huge THANK YOU.
Day 4
... through Kielder towards Galashiels. This is brilliant driving country, fast and open with only a few towns and villages to impose speed limits. I am mostly familiar with the A1 route, which hugs the (admittedly fantastic) coast, but I would also definitely like to return here and explore this area more fully. It's probably a good thing that it is fast though, because it's over 100 miles to Edinburgh and we have a date with a former colleague of Stu's at the University.
The flooded road to Newcastle
... through my boxes reveals no money and all I can think of is that I have left it all at home!!! What a plonker!!! Thank goodness for cards. Finally with not much going on I decide to simply relax in my cabin and fall asleep to the gentle rolling of the ship. Tomorrow;s plan is to head for the German town of Darmstad and stop off at my usual hotel in that city and then onwards to the Alps the following day. All I prey is that the weather gets better as I go. And that's about it for today ...

Perfect place to stay!
A True Gem
It was so nice that my husband and I could retreat to the downstairs for some privacy and have our teenage daughters be quite happy occupying the upstairs space. You can tell that a lot of thought and care was given to the planning and layout of your home. I especially appreciated not having to take my own sheets and towels and having to make and strip beds. What a luxury that turned out to be.
A couple of days into the vacation one of our cars had some trouble (power steering belt). Your neighbors were quite helpful with finding us a reputable auto care place in Wells and we had AAA tow our car there. The car was fixed in a few days and the fees were reasonable.
We won't forget our stay and will highly recommend your lovely home to our friends in the future. I hope we will get to visit again sometime soon.
Thanks again
Better and Better on each visit
This is a great house with a terrific, responsive owner. On each visit our recently married daughter and her husband join us for a part of the visit. They get to have the privacy that "newly weds" need on the upper floor while my wife and I get to "rekindle" those days of memory on the lower level.
Speaking as a lucky guy, with a great cook for a wife (who actually enjoys cooking for all of us on vacation), the house has every dish, pot, pan and fork one could imagine needing. There are televisions, entertainment players and David's favorite movies, in case you forgot yours.
The house is a 10 minute walk to the center of Ogunquit and 12 minutes to the beach (all on sidewalks). Ogunquit in the spring, summer and fall (although we love the fall and I shouldn't give this secret away) is like no other place by the ocean.
We can't wait to return for our next visit and I promise you will be "writing me" a note what a great stay you had at the Tree House.
The Perfect Getaway
An Oasis in Maine
Activity and Interests
The Treehouse is a short stroll to the town center with all the great restaurants, bars, and shopping Ogunquit has to offer. The main beach is less than half a mile away.
Near the town center, you will find an entrance to the Marginal Way, which leads you on a picturesque one mile pedestrian pathway along the rocky coast to charming Perkins Cove where you will find more great restaurants and shops, as well as access to sailing, fishing and sightseeing boat excursions.
Ogunquit is also home to one of the top 10 off-Broadway theaters in the nation, the Ogunquit Playhouse.
Long Weekends: *Inquire about long weekend rates (minimum 3 nights) during the off-season months (October through May)!!
Need Privacy, Separation and Space?: Do you sometimes need your own space or privacy from the rest of your crew when on vacation? Then this place is for you. It's really two separate units in one home. The upper level has two bedrooms, two baths, a full kitchen, living room, dining/sun porch, and an outside deck with a grill. The lower level has its own full kitchen, living area, dining area, bedroom and bath - and a large outside deck. The living areas on both levels each have cable TV, DVD player and stereo/CD player as well. The two levels are interconnected by an interior staircase but can be closed off by an interior locking door. It's a very comfortable setup for families traveling with parents or in-laws desiring their separate space, yet being close to the rest of the 'gang'. Or perhaps you want the kids traveling in your group to have their own space (so you can have your privacy), yet have them close.
Wireless internet is available throughout the property.
There are many fine golf courses in the Ogunquit area.
There are twelve ski areas within sixty miles of Ogunquit: Attitash Bear Peak, Carroll County, NH; Bradford, Essex County, MA; Cranmore Mountain, Carroll County, NH; Gunstock, Belknap County, NH; King Pine, Carroll County, NH; Loon Mountain, Grafton County, NH; Lost Valley, Androscoggin County, ME; McIntyre, Hillsborough County, NH; Nashoba Valley, Middlesex County, MA; Shawnee Peak, Cumberland County, ME; Tenney Mountain, Grafton County, NH; Waterville Valley, Grafton County, NH.
Also nearby:
Kittery Outlets - Just 20 minutes south of Ogunquit. More than 120 outlets and the Kittery Trading Post with savings of 20-70% daily. This shopping mecca is often referred to as America's Maine Street for Outlet Shopping. 1-888-KITTERY.
L.L. Bean - World famous and open 24 hours, 365 days per year. 1 hour north in Freeport. Freeport also offers more than 100 outlet stores.

Spurs notebook: Leonard's return near
By Jeff McDonald In the span of 60 minutes Thursday, the Spurs made a pair of roster moves that seem to signal an imminent return to full health for their injury depleted roster. First, the team announced the recall of small forward Kawhi Leonard from Austin, where he had been on a two-day rehab assignment […] [Read More]
Duncan's shot blocking highlights resurgence
Nuggets coach George Karl spoke at length before Tuesday's contest in Denver about all things Spurs: Their consistency, their fundamental soundness, his respect for Gregg Popovich and, especially, the cornerstone around which they've been built for the past 16 seasons. "Other than the great shot blockers," Karl said of Tim Duncan, "he's the best defensive […] [Read More]
At last, rest for weary Spurs
For much of his Tuesday night in Denver, Spurs swingman Danny Green felt like a lost traveler missing his GPS. "I was in Strugglesville," he said, "just trying to get to Pleasantville." In the 1998 film of the same name, one of the perks in Pleasantville is that every basketball shot finds the bottom of […] [Read More]
Spurs notebook: Duncan joins rarefied air at 23,000 points
The milestone came without fanfare, befitting the low-key superstar who accomplished it. With a pair of free throws at the 9:15 mark of the third quarter of the Spurs' loss at Denver on Tuesday, Tim Duncan became the 26th NBA player to reach 23,000 points. Needing 15 points to hit that plateau, Duncan didn't stop […] [Read More]
Yet another unique outing for Duncan
In less than a week, 36-year-old Tim Duncan has twice managed to do things he's never done before in his Hall of Fame-caliber career. Last Wednesday at Utah, he recorded 22 points, 21 rebounds and six blocked shots, marking the first time he'd reached those minimums in the regular season and the second overall. Tuesday […] [Read More]
Spurs notebook: Ginobili's absence from lineup short-lived
DENVER — El Contusión is back from his latest contusion. Manu Ginobili returned to the active list in Tuesday night's 112-106 loss to the Denver Nuggets after missing one game with a bruise on his left thigh. The 35-year-old shooting guard suffered the injury during a home victory over Boston on Saturday, when the Celtics' […] [Read More]
Recap: Spurs 103, Celtics 88
Summing it up: For the first time in a while, the Spurs weren't the oldest and most worn-out team on the court. Energized by their first home game in eight days, victimizing an aging Celtics team that played the previous night in Houston, the Spurs rode a late 18-6 run to win going away. Tony […] [Read More]
Spurs see more of Duncan-Splitter pairing
By Mike Monroe Spurs center-forward Tiago Splitter played a season-high 28 minutes, 56 seconds, in the team's 98-90 loss to the Trail Blazers in Portland on Thursday. That included 9 1/2 minutes of the fourth period alongside Tim Duncan. It was the first time this season Spurs coach Gregg Popovich had paired his tallest players […] [Read More]
New rule not aiding Duncan in All-Star voting
By Mike Monroe PORTLAND — The so-called Tim Duncan Rule hasn't done much to enhance the chances of the Spurs' captain starting in the Feb. 17 All-Star Game in Houston. Position designations were simplified this season — voters are asked to select three frontcourt players, rather than two forwards and a center. It's a nod […] [Read More]
Tim Duncan, still achieving after all these years
It became apparent about 10 games into Tim Duncan's 16th NBA season that something special was going on. Not that Duncan was ever bad, or even below average. It was just that, after appearing to hit a clear point of decline several seasons back, leaving some pundits to compare him to a traffic cone for […] [Read More]

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
16 Jun 2010 12:52 GMT | Arts & Culture, Afghanistan, Iraq
" />
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have spilled into another frontier - the Internet.
Raw footage both from American soldiers as well as fighters in Iraq and Afghanistan are flooding cyberspace leading many to call the conflicts the world's first 'YouTube Wars'.
Those videos give viewers an unfiltered view of the wars, taking them right to the heart of the fighting.
The Pentagon is now actively encouraging soldiers to "share their personal stories" on the Internet in what is considered a vigorous new effort to counter the impact of videos posted by those fighting US-led forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Send us your views and get your voice on the air
While many feel it is important for the world to see the violence up close and personal - unfiltered by mainstream media, critics argue such clips are counterproductive because they lack context and amount to little more than 'war porn' - viewed purely for entertainment purposes.
So what impact will this new propaganda battle have on global public opinion and perception of both wars?
Discussing that will be Jennifer Terry, from the University of California who produced a study of military videos from Iraq and Afghanistan; and writer and academic Adel Iskandar whose areas of expertise include contemporary Arab media and its coverage of conflict.
We will also have with us Iraqi journalist Salam Talib who is presently working on a documentary called Guests in the Living Room - an account of Iraqi refugees trying to rebuild their lives around the world.

Looking at Retirement Options?
Hi friends, this is Sid Grosvenor for Lake Chapala, Mexico.
When Patricia and I visited Lake Chapala, Mexico about 16 years ago we knew right away that we wanted to live here. Why ?
Lots of Friendly People, Great Weather, Relaxed Atmosphere & More
We were taken by the warmth of both the foreign community here and the hospitality and acceptance by Mexican people.
The easy going relaxed atmosphere, the year around sunny, but not hot wonderful weather, and the flowering trees and lush gardens everywhere made us feel as if we had discovered our very own Garden of Eden (without the snake).
Very Affordable Prices (Pensions Go a Long Way Here)
We looked behind the walls and discovered the absolutely gorgeous homes at reasonable prices, given the hand constructed solid as a rock building methods used, and we made up our mind this was the place for us.
The wonderful restaurants, the giving back attitude of the expatriate community, coupled with what were almost unbelievably low prices for almost anything not imported made us realize that when I retired, my police officer's pension would go a lot farther here… and it still does.
A Healthy Lifestyle Comes Naturally Here!
The high quality fresh fruit and vegetables here in our markets, the fresh clean mountain air, and the near perfect year around weather nourish our bodies… while the sweet spirit of the people, beautiful lake and mountain vistas, and eternally blooming trees and flowers …nourish our souls.
Do You Want a Better, More Fulfilled Lifestyle?
Foreigners from all over the world have been coming to the stimulating international environment of Lake Chapala for many years. The area is well suited for retirees and their needs, like affordable health care, high-speed internet, and lots of fun activities. A recent news article stated that in the Mexican State of Jalisco (The Lake Chapala Area) almost 23,000 registered Americans, 3400 Canadians, and over 6,500 Europeans call our area home.
Are You Waiting On God ?
The "retirees" I know here (and I know a lot of them in the business I'm in) did not come here to "Wait on God" like the actors in the old British comedy show, "Waiting on God" . No, we came here to celebrate the life we have to the fullest extent possible.
Imagine Yourself Living the Good Life!
You can share in our happiness here at Lake Chapala.
You are in control of your life. Not the government, not your kids, and not discouraging friends. Join us in our willingness to reach out, to think out of the box a little, and take action to design your new life. Take action to design a new, better life here at Lake Chapala, Mexico. You can do it. We can help.
You've already taken the first step by reaching this website. Now, take the next step and plan a "check us out trip" today to see firsthand just what Lake Chapala is all about. Don't delay. Our secret is getting out.
This has been Sid Grosvenor for Lake Chapala, Mexico.
Your personal guide of discovery,
I'll leave the light on for you !
