Welcome to the ongoing weekly series called Tuesday Travelogue. We are in our 91st week!  Each week, some ActiveRain bloggers are spotlighted to take us somewhere we may not have been on some kind of virtual travel (and it doesn't cost a dime!). Here is the purpose:

 

 to enjoy the ride"

"take a trip without even leaving the farm"

"expand your horizons"

"see through someone else's eyes"

  and hopefully much more!

 

A mishmash of Travellers in the Rain posts this week! (No time to spend, as I'm up to my eyeballs in real estate STUFF....mostly good!!) There are so MANY great posts that are in the Travellers in the Rain group--you should join and check them out!! 

Alaska bound! (Or bound to stay in Alaska...) Robert Swetz, whom we used to know as Vegas Bob cuz he lived THERE, is now aka Alaska Bob. Here are some of the reasons why:

Anyone interested in Toad travel?? Or where some toads "hail from?" Myrl Jeffcoat takes us to Toad Hollow. 

Toad Hollow - Davis California

 

Now, we go to Big Sur in California, thank you to Jeff Dowler.

Marco Giancola takes us off to Mexico for some random photos...sort of like my random Tuesday Travelogue post today! San Miguel del Allende. 

Not bad for just briefly visiting our Travellers in the Rain group, huh?? Check it out for more of our virtual visits by our 82 subscribers!

 

Please don't forget to comment on these blog posts and I hope that you enjoyed all of these virtual travels. 

                                               

                                                                   Travellers in the Rain!

Some nice posts for your Tuesday Travelogue, and even a location where we have been at Big Sur.  That's where I got to play a round of golf at Pebble Beach

Well Lottie Kendall you better get on BOARD, missy!! 

Myrl Jeffcoat your posts are always such a pleasure this one is no exception. 

Ed Silva I think it's wonderful that you went to Jeff's blogpost and commented and you certainly have had some interesting rounds of golf...a reason to get to some fabulous places, just to hit a ball! (Of course, it's not just for that, I know...I used to love to play golf).

Okay, inquiring minds want to know. It is my understanding from you and Dick Greenberg and Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD that you are using a Canon EOS 70D. Is that correct? I've heard $350 mentioned, but I can only find them for about $1350. Am I missing something? Is it worth $1350? $350? Please advise

Hi Mimi - It's the Canon SX-50, and we all paid around $350. But Debb doesn't have one ... yet.

Mimi Foster I'm the one with the Canon EOS 70D. It's a great camera, but outsmarts me at times. I'm toying with the idea of getting the $350 one that Gayle and Dick often use...mainly because of the lens. It really enhances the ability to get close up shots with nature unaware I'm lurking, if you know what I mean.
