The big X6 road trip!

Posted on by Ian C.

Margaret and I have now lived in USA for 30 years and to celebrate we’ve just completed a road trip up the east coast visiting both where we lived when we first emigrated and places we went to soon after that event … our northern most point was Lubek in Maine, where we crossed over to Canada (Campobello Island) for a few hours.

While there will be a lot of visit posts on M&I, here are X6-themed photos (including getting a much needed wash again when we returned after 4,662 miles, $800 gas at just about 30mpg for the whole trip!)

30 years: Natural Bridge and Virginia Safari Park

Posted on by Ian C.

Margaret and I have now lived in USA for 30 years and to celebrate we’ve just completed a road trip up the east coast; today we drove to Luray, VA with a first stop at Natural Bridge which is an impressive natural arch carved by water into the rock:

We then visited Virginia Safari Park which is drive-through a bit like Tupelo Buffalo Park although a bit less varied in animals. At one point I called to a distant stag with big antlers and he came over to have food and even stuck his head into the car – that was fun!

At Luray we are staying at The Mimslyn Inn, very luxurious and with “MI” theming very appropriate for us 🙂
