Laura-N-Sasha.com Website is now a blog

Hi all,
I have now made the switch, from the 1and1.com website to the blogger website. One of the great things about the blogger website is the pictures; I no longer have to resize the pictures, you can see them in the correct size.

Some changes that you might see here: The guestbook is now new, over on the side, but you can see the old guestbook at the blogging site on the Guestbook page. Also the old pages are all here, you just need to go through the archives to see them. I will put links on the side that will show the pages. And lastly, I have ads, because, ultimately, making some money is always a good thing.

Thanks for looking and we will have the Sedona pictures up soon!

Arizona With The Parents - No Camping This Time!

Arizona With the Parents - But No Truck Camper

Sedona, Arizona in a Timeshare

Sasha and I decided that this would probably be our last plane ride for a while as we are giving up the credit card that accumulates points for flying and going to a credit card that offers cash back. We figure we take less than one flying trip a year for pleasure, and we really have no desire to go to places that need to be flown to, as we can take our truck camper to the sea and mountains and everywhere in between.

We had originally planned to take a sabbatical 3 month vacation for this year early in 2005 and had told my parents that we would be gone April through June 2006. So they though we might need a break from camping and might want to head over to Sedona, Arizona for a week. At that time, we thought OK. So they booked a timeshare in 2005 for a place in Sedona, Arizona, trading some of their time and vacation for a two bedroom, two bath suite at Los Abrigados Resort and Spa.

Well, we did not go on the sabbatical this year, or at least, not yet. We might go on a 5 week vacation, but as of yet, we are not sure. So, since my parents would have to pay serious money to get out of the vacation, we decided, hey let's go and check out Sedona, as neither Sasha or I had ever been there. What follows is a diary of sorts of the first day (Flying) and then the log of pictures. There are a couple of hundred of photos, as both my dad and I took them. I won't have duplicates but the area is so unbelievable, we had to get as many as we could. I will try to give descriptions where needed but most of the pictures speak for themselves. And they will go in order from the first day to the last day, so you might have to scroll down to see all. And if there is any picture you want to see in close up or in higher resolution, just click on the picture. Thanks for looking,

Daily Log of Sedona Arizona with the parents

Day 1 Saturday May 27, 2006 from Sterling VA to Sedona, AZ

Getting ready and the airport ride

Sasha and I got ready for the airport ride to National Airport. We were going National because Midwest flew out of that one, not Dulles. Sasha had set up a pickup ride yesterday and we decided we needed to be picked up around 8:30am as we figured it would take about 1 hour in line at the airport and at least an hour in security. We had packed the day before so all we needed was to get up, shower, eat and lock everything.

We got a call around 8:15 from the driver who stated he was going to be a little late. But I had figured this might be the case, which is why I wanted an earlier time. He finally arrived closer to 9 am. We had forgotten about the 10K race here at Cascades and there were a lot of people running! Then the race to the airport began!

Our driver was not from around where we live, as he did not know how to get to the toll road from our house. So Sasha told him how to go. He also thought Potomac Mills was close to our house - totally wrong, but again, if you do not know the area, you might think it is close. So as we were driving down Route 7 on the way to the Dulles Toll Road, a light was beginning to change from Green to Red, and he gunned it however, the driver in front slowed, so he passed on the right and blasted his horn. At that point I put on the seat belt. (I was in the back and did not think it was necessary.) When we got to the Toll Road, he went through the toll gate (the area where you have the easy pass, and did not pay - I was a little shocked, as I pay for it each time. But Sasha stated that it has been in the news that the cameras at the toll booth (at least at that one) are fake and do not take pictures of non-paying vehicles. If that is the case, why should I have to pay? Here a corporation - does not pay - why should I; just because I am honest, I pay.

Anyway, we got to the airport at 9:30, Sasha gave him a tip and we went into the terminal, thinking at least we got here early enough, we could wait in a couple of lines. BUT as we walked into the terminal, it was practically empty. Only two other groups were ahead of us at the Midwest Check-In Counter! After the check out counter we went to security and again, no line! We took off our shoes, and went through security very quickly and got to the gate at 10am. What to do? I started switching the pictures and images from Laura-n-Sasha.com site from 1and1.com to Blogger, checked emails and Sasha read.

At 11:30 we got on the plane- Gorgeous seats - leather and wide with great head rests and lots of space. I read my book club book Beach House by James Patterson and Sash read Your Money or Your Life (see books we are reading). They handed out chocolate chip cookies, drinks and pretzels and I thought this is a good airline.

We got into the airport 10 minutes early (having left 5 minutes early) and then had to wait 3.5 hours for the next leg of the flight. Sash got us something to eat and he had his half at the airport, but I decided to wait as I was working well.

We got onto the next plane - boy, what a difference, I guess this is why we are not going to be flying anymore. The plane looked old, and the seats were not leather, nor very big. But we were still two across and the flight was not full. I had my lunch, they came around with snacks, drinks and cookies, and I read “The Beach House” by James Patterson. Actually finished the book, it was such a quick read. Don’t know what I will read on the way back.

We got to Phoenix early, so we got our bags and called up Mom & Dad and they came and picked us up (they were practically there as well.)

We drove to Sedona, getting gas on the way. Mom and Dad had driven down to Sedona when their plane had come in, because they wanted to know where we were staying and to get the room earlier. We are staying at Los Abrigados Resort and Spa - a hotel and timeshare place. It is right next to Tlaquepaque - shopping, restaurants and art galleries area that is all enclosed.

So we drove back down from Phoenix to Sedona and got to the place around 7:30 pm. We dropped off our bags and went over to Oak Creek Brewery and Grill to get something to eat. They make great beer at Oak Creek and the food was good but the people clearing the plates kept trying to take away our still full plates. It was very annoying. And the waitress was telling us about the deserts while I was still eating dinner. Very annoying! We did order a desert at the end, an apple crisp for us all. I just wish that restaurants would not rush people so much. After we left, we noticed that the place was closing.

OK Sedona PEOPLE - WHAT IS THE DEAL? We are noticing that restaurants are closed early and this is a holiday weekend. I mean we got out of that restaurant at maybe 9:30, I mean some people eat dinner that late. Later on, you will see our just missing the restaurants who close at 9pm in Sedona and I am truly amazed by this.

So we got back and set up the computer to do some blogging and found that the Verizon card did not work in the room. OH MY GOD what am I going to do? T-Mobile did not work either. My parents have Verizon phones which did not work in the suite, Sasha with Nextel works and my phone has full bars. This makes me unsure if I want to switch to Verizon, the ongoing saga.

We went to bed a little early (for us) in very comfortable rooms with great bathrooms and full “spa-like” bath accessories - shampoo, conditioner and moisturizer. Always like to see that.

Day 2 - May 28, 2006 Sedona - Montezuma Castle, Well, and Schnebly Hill Road!
I woke up around 4:30, still not used to the time difference, probably by the time I am ready it will be time to head back. Oh well, slept very well. Being in a timeshare is different than a hotel as they do not come to clean up everyday nor do they make the beds, or clean the baths (or replenish the toiletries) but it is nicer than a hotel as there is more room - we had our own bedroom and bath (as my parents got a two bedroom 2 bath suite) plus a family room (with dining table and chairs) patio and kitchen. So we had breakfast out as we had not gotten our “provisions” and ate at The Secret Garden in Tlaquepaque. - sidebar- since I got up so early, I read for a little and then took a walk up to a gas station and got creamer and a diet dr. pepper for myself. There were no sidewalks on the road that I was on, but there were not too many people on the road either. I took some pictures of the canyon as well. -End Sidebar -

The breakfast was very nice at the Secret Garden, Mom and Dad had ate there the day before and they really liked it. Then we went back the room and got ready to go out for the first full day of adventure. We had decided to go to Montezuma Castle and Well, two National Monuments. Very cool pictures to follow.

Sasha thought he had found a road we could go on that was a shortcut to Montezuma Well - but it really was not. Actually the road dead ended at a washed out dry creek. But we got some great pictures and had a cool adventure so it was worth it.

It is amazing to see the well as it is dry all around, but not there. And it is interesting to see how the people lived during that time, and how they diverted the water. While we were going down to see the diverted water, a bus tour came by and as we were heading down, they all were coming up. We could not believe how many came up the stairs at that time - I swear there must have been about 100 people down there. Check out pictures to see area.

One of the best adventures we had that day was going to Schnebly Hill Road. I had wanted to go there as it was written up in the guide books as being the best way to see the red rocks. So we went from I-17 into Sedona. The one side is pine trees and is nice and cool and at a higher elevation, the other side is red rocks and cactus, with lower elevation and warmer. Our car was clean before we went, but not afterwards. Mom is definitely not afraid of scampering on the rocks, but Dad and I are a little afraid of heights. However, really cool picture of parents on the rocks. Sasha and I had great pictures too. (Pictures coming soon!)

Tried FTPing and did not work

Hi ALL,
I was trying out the posting as an FTP but it did not work. I want to have my Laura-n-Sasha.com domain but I like using the posts editor. I will have to figure something out. I really like having the pictures within Blogger, but want the domain to be Laura-n-Sasha.com, well I'll try again later.

Guest Book of Laura-n-Sasha.com

Old Guest Book of Laura-n-Sasha.com

I am trying to change the Laura-n-Sasha.com website over to the blogger.com website, and one of the biggest parts of our website was the Guestbook. I will try to put a guest book on the blogging site, we will see if that can be done. But I wanted to keep the entries that we had, so I have compiled them into this post. There are over 70, just scroll down to see them all. Thanks.

Laura, Found your website on rv.net. What interested me was your trip in June to Sedona. We are going from AL to Grand Canyon starting June 15. We will stop in Sedona around 20th. When will you be there? Looking forward to see where to go. Thanks Jimmy (Laura - note -I will have the Sedona pictures up soon - I promise!)

High guys its Camper addict (the guy with the host). Just wanted to say hello, and check out your website. For some reason I just can't seem to focus on work this morning.

George Edwards 04/19/2006 13:31 h

I think it's great you are having so much fun. My wife and I are slowly getting used to not having a tent ... lol - sure is fun to go ... then stop when you feel the urge. Congratulations and thanks for sharing your experiences. George

Paul and Pam Kajtna 04/10/2006 15:42 h

Your website is in our favorites, because we learned so much from your experiences. We recently joined Natcoa, to learn as much as possible before purchasing a Ford or Dodge truck and truck camper. We will be at the Natcoa Nebraska rally at Ogallala, NE in June. If you get asked this question alot, forgive me. Are you members of Natcoa, you know http://www.natcoa.com? We have a '02 Dodge white cargo van. Thank you, Paul (Laura's Note - We are not members yet, maybe someday! :)

jim and nancy 02/17/2006 16:20 h

enjoyed your pic and adv....do you like your snowriver? how much does it weigh? what would you get different in that size...thanks jim (Laura Note - Yes we like our Snowriver, I'll have to find out how much it weighs, and I'm not sure what we would get different in that size...I'll ask Sasha to give more complete answers)

Yvonne Batal 01/18/2006 17:31 h

Great pictures of the new bike!!!! Congrats!!! Love y

Mom C 01/15/2006 22:46 h

Hi Laura & Sasha- Just read about your new trip to Atlanta. Its great! I can't wait to see pictures-sure would have liked to see Sasha pushed up the hill on the bike! I hope you don't have to push it to start it every time. Love you guys! Mom

Kjell Ingebrigtsen 01/04/2006 13:03 h

Is this The Sasha that I worked with in Colorado and attended my wedding in Vermont? (Laura's Note - When Sasha read that one - his mind just blew - as Kjell was referring to his wedding over 20 years ago, it is amazing what the web can do.)

Dick 12/05/2005 23:44 h

Happend on to your travellog from a RV.net e-mail. Website is well constructed and thought out. Have traveled to many of the areas in Co. that you visited but not as brave as you two explorers, in that we always try to travel in the spring/summer months. Living on the west coast makes for prima donna type travelers as far as snow and cold weather. No Brrrrrrrrrr for this kid. My truck sees snow and automatically goes into reverse :) Great looking camper. We have a 8' Lance and a 32' Holiday Rambler TT. Enjoy your new toy and see you on the road some day.

Bruce Browning 12/02/2005 18:21 h

Smiles Laura and Sasha :))Your site made my day. Ti's so nice to see others that enjoy life . I am from Elliot Lake 12,000 souls in On. Canada. We are above the north shores of lake Huron. I am " 92 chevy " a retired paramedic with 850 matching Jayco. staying where ever the fish bite Thanks again for puting nice thoughts in me head !

Tim 09/27/2005 01:59 h

Great website! My wife and I have purchased a rig much like yours and used it the first time over the long labor day weekend. Next summer will be our chance to really travel. I can hardly wait and hope our excursions turn out as well as yours. I know this is off beat but I always bother folks who have gone the Truck/Camper RV route. Have you ever read Travels With Charley? It is a book by John Steinbeck written in the early sixties that logs his trip across America w/ his dog. What is cool is he traveled in an early version of our rigs, a truck and camper combo. I think it is a good read if you are into Truck Campers. Happy travels, Tim (Laura's Note: We have not yet read Travels with Charley but hope to soon - check our reading list later as it will be changing)

Sean O 08/25/2005 22:20 h

Hi there, awesome photos and site. I'm still in the dreaming stage of going cross country (have truck, 5er will come a lil later this year). Those mountain pictures are amazing, inspiring. Thanks for posting all of this. Sean Ottawa, Canada

Sasha 08/15/2005 15:28 h

Don't sweat it Dan. We turn off the airbag when using the laptop.

Dan Riggs 08/09/2005 18:18 h

Beautiful truck and camper. I noticed in one of your pics, you show Laura sitting in the passenger seat with a mobile PC mount in between her and the airbag. PLEASE don't do this while driving! The damage from being hit by the PC when the airbag goes off would be devastating. Enjoy your RV and be safe.

Brent Berger his website 06/12/2005 10:44 h

Great site! Very creative. It really shows how much fun you two are having. Good to see you @ InfoComm. bb

Larry Space 05/21/2005 10:47 h

Hi, We are interested in a SR truck camper. We are in VT and there are no dealers. Would it be possible for us to come to Virginia to see yours. We are exactly where you were, NL first interest because of weight. I talked to 5 Star and they seem like good people. Larry (Laura's Note - I believe they did come down and see it)

Kenny Miller 05/10/2005 06:38 h

Laura and Sasha - AWESOME TRUCK, RV AND TRIP. It's good to know that Sasha hasn't changed on bit. See you on the 4th. KM

Waynette 05/06/2005 22:33 h

Am enjoying your homepage. We have just retired and have pretty much made up our mind that we want to buy a Snowriver Camper. Like to travel, camp, and fish with family members. Just returned from a trip to Colorado visiting our daughter and her family. First week of April and beautiful weather.If you get to Oregon we can give lots of help visiting Oregon as have lived here all my life (64 years)

Darlene Kiss 04/26/2005 16:25 h

Just got this e-mail because I had to clear out my juno account. Don't forget to e-mail me deeand68@optonline.net. What a great house on wheels. Just perfect for two people on the go. I saw your mom recently at work. My dad and I went up to visit some old friends. Darlene

Jevtic' Slobodan and Eva 04/17/2005 14:36 h

We are very happy to see how you know to make lovely and stunning treps. We are very proud of you enjoy and send us more.Big kisses from the Jevtici of france.

Marty and Jill McGarry and kids 04/16/2005 18:12 h

Laura and Sasha, it was great to see you guys, and thanks for the tour of your second home (the camper). I am enjoying reading about your excellent adventure and wish you both many more fantastic journeys!

Shari and Preston 04/16/2005 09:20 h

I enjoyed reading about your experience with your new TC. We hope to do the same thing soon, or sometime. I was wondering why you didn't need the Wifi in your laptop, since you used it for Flying J Wifi. BTW, we have slept overnight at that one west of St.Louis also. Your truck looks great, with camper it is awesome! Shari (Laura's Note - I have WiFi in my Laptop but it is set to my home system, and I did not want to mess it up so I used the WiFi system of the T-Mobile card instead...At least I think that is what I did!)

Christine 04/15/2005 19:45 h

Thanks for your link from RV.net. It was a great trip and I enjoyed your first experiences with your new TC and truck. Someday soon, I hope we can get ours.

Barry and Emily Winslow 04/15/2005 12:50 h

Hi! What a great trip. I can relate as my wife and I made the trip form N.C. to Five Star to pick up our SnowRiver. The Colorado mountains were magnificent and are pulling at us to come back. We found the mountains to be as spectacular as the Grand Canyon to be. Hope you are enjoying your SR as much as we are, We have not been disapointed in our SR and would do it all over again. Thanks for the logs and great pictures Take care, Barry

Dan Richter (Rickson Truck Wheels) 04/13/2005 18:59 h

Great site! I'm imoressed that you put this together so quickly.

Mike Brennan 04/13/2005 15:58 h

S&L,What a fabulous roadtrip. I enjoyed the e-tour and cruisin' thru the pics. Now I'm anxious to get the fam on a Colorado trip...nice truck and camper rig too!! Thx for thinking of me. All my best.

Gary Arsenault 04/13/200512:12 h

Hi Great photo look's like you had fun!! Colorado is a great state. I hope the Rickson wheels and tires worked out for you, I like mine. Gary Baltimore, MD.

Andy Orr his website 04/13/2005 08:37 h

Hi! I saw your guestbook entry in the Colorado National Monument's Monument Canyon overlook trail and wrote your web page address down so I could visit your site. It's great that you have this website here. I love reading about other people's travels. You're so fortunate to be able to travel around like you do. I am getting a degree in Geology at our local college in Grand Junction, so if you had any geology questions that you didn't get answered feel free to email me and I'll help you find an answer. Take care, and have fun hiking! I love the hiking here in Grand Junction! (Laura's Note - First, we have started to put in guest books our website so people can see what we saw. Second, I have a degree in Geology - but I have not used it in over seven years as I started my new career in Software Training and Website Design. But some things you don't forget, other things just fade away. So we might just take him up on the offer later on.)

Dave Zimmerman his website 04/12/2005 07:54 h

Nice to see the travelogue. Keep it up and keep us posted. (Snowriver 9.6)

Bob Mehrer Snowriver Campers 04/11/2005 21:18 h

Love the pictures, love more the fact you are happy with your camper. Will check back from time to time. Any concerns questions call me. Welcome to our family. Snowriver Bob

Rob Clark 04/11/2005 15:50 h

Cool adventure guys. Take me with you next time; I think my wife will let me out!

Mom C. 04/11/2005 13:35 h

Welcome home! glad you are back safely and happily, though it will be disappointing not to have any travel log to read! When is the next trip?

Bo 04/09/2005 23:15 h

"SASH AND LAURA'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE" RAD!

Mom C. 04/09/200522:33 h

Boy, have I enjoyed your trip. Glad to hear Sasha is sappy. Does that translate to happy and sentimental? You're right, we were afraid you'd kill each other. Well, your sister was afraid. I did worry a little. love you!

Mark Moyer 04/09/200508:06 h

Sasha and Laura,It looks like you had a great time on your adventure. The camper looks great. I hope you have many great years with it. I wish my family was into camping. I love the great outdoors and I think you two have found the perfect way to enjoy it. The pictures of Colorado were wonderful. Thanks for sharing your trip with everyone. Mark

M & T 04/09/2005 01:01 h

Thank you for great repotage of your CO and C the Camper trip. Have safe journey to your home. Can't wait to see you here T & M

Mike Morbeto from AVWashington 04/08/2005 21:22 h

You guys are too much! Only Deb and I would be more concerned about how many bars we had for internet. Wait, since we'd both need our laptops, we'd probably have convinced ourselves we needed the high-speed wireless to share the bandwidth. Oh, and I'd need the gyroscopic DirecTV dish! Glad you're having fun!

Bill Apter 04/08/2005 19:36 h

What a wonderful way to share your journey! I image it was quite a bit of work to assemble/sort the photos and then get everything up to the web-site. But hey - after traversing the wonders of nature all day it probably feels good to get back to manipulating electrons. Your camper looks like it was a fine travel companion. Enjoy!!

Bo Buck his website 04/08/200514:57 h

Saw your fine ride as you were cruising East through the Glenwood Canyon just East of Glenwood Springs (4/7/05). Looks like you are having a wonderful trip. My wife, Cindy, our 2 kids Dillon and Mackenzie and I also love to travel to all of the National Parks. Thought that you two might be interested in a business opportunity that you could benefit from while on your many travels. We help people who are compassionate to work with others and educate them on how to take resposibility for their personal Health and Wellness. I put our website above under "Homepage". If you like what you see and are interested in learing more, e-mail me back and I can send you to an audio -education site on this wonderful business. Safe travels and all the best. Take care and Cheers, Bo Buck (Laura's Note - Thanks but I think with the two of us doing our jobs is more than enough for us to handle!)

M & T 04/06/2005 23:51 h

Thanks again for facinating pics from trai 4.4th. Today was you full day at the park. What we undestend tomorrow you are paking and on way to home. Thanks again, not just waching your pics, but also entertainment like hering your taughts and voice while reading detailed daily log. That was great experience for us as well. Have save and easy trip home. we love you. T & M

M & T 04/06/2005 00:48 h

Dear Laura And Sash. Love pics from Monument Park. You look like real pro, but not alpine style, but certainly Indiana Jones.I use to do that with couple frends across 4 montains souronding my home town, but on foot for about 75 mils. Love T

Ann Baker 04/05/200514:35 h

Wow, this is great. I'm ready for an adventure. Do you have room for 2 more adults and 2 very busy girls inside that camper? OK maybee just outside the camper in our own tent. I didn't read your log but was it as hard as Mt St Helens. Did you puke at the top like John Mittaure? (Laura's Note: The Mighty Hike was as hard as the Mt. St. Helens hike but we did not get sick, I think we were just very tired and dehydrated!)

Laura the Webmistress 04/05/2005 01:19 h

Hi all, Bo had a weather report in here that I took out. It was scaring the parents. We are not experiencing any weather conditions as we are in Grand Junction, mostly sunny and 60's. We went through a small patch of windy weather, but that was it. So no snow here. April 4th was a winery day so we will give you the scope of April 5th about that. Tomorrow we are going hiking again - only 7 miles this time and hopefully all downhill. Thanks for looking, Laura

M & T 04/04/2005 23:52 h

Hi, Wish we got to pics earler, but its never late. Fantastic experience, you are brave indeed and having lots of fun. Looks you will graduate in wilderness hiking there, and when you retutn you may lecture at George Masson University. Bravo again. Love, M & T

T& M 04/04/2005 23:39 h

L & S,We think you are very courageous and little crazy.Pics are great and scenary fantastic, like it is not on the earth. Love you "hotel" it is GREAT.Please take , hope you have had enough excitement and adventure to last til next year. Love Mama & Tata

Mom C. 04/04/2005 21:04 h

Dear Laura & SashaHope you are under construction and not under snow-just read Bo's forcast. We miss our update-maybe too much wine!Hope you aren't in blizzard!

Mom C. 04/04/2005 20:58 h

Dear Laura & Sasha: Okay, you had a lounge day at camp and went to bed happy (Apr 2) (after a bottle of wine). Is that why there is nothing for 2 days? We need our adventure fix!

T. MITZA & T. FAY 04/03/2005 20:56 h

HOW EMPOWERING THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR ADVENTURE MUST BE. WE ADMIRE YOU AND FEEL, VICARIOUSLY, THE THRILL.

Richard Marshall his website 04/02/2005 13:58 h

Sasha & Laura, Grand adventure! Sasha, I am the person from Louisa, VA who communicated with you earlier (via RV.NET) re. Snowriver, truck, mobile internet access, etc. We have truck and camper (Lance 1181 - got tired of doing research) on order. So far, all we have for our rig are a few things from Camping World in Manassas (for the camper) and a Fumoto drain valve (for the truck). Thus, we are inspired by your tale. Do not know how you plan to return home to Sterling, but offer you a free overnight spot if you come this way. I hope the balance of your maiden voyage is as wonderful as the first part sounds. Best Wishes, Richard

Bob McMillian 04/02/2005 11:27 h

Hi Guys! We are enjoying your log. Where are the pictures? (Laura's note - the first time I did the posting, it was taking quite a while to get the pictures up as I had to resize them to a more managable size and then put them on the website. We were not getting the fastest speeds so it took a while in the beginning.)
