MATING CALL OF THE VOLKSWAGEN JOHANNESBURG 1988
Our arrival in South Africa was not uneventful. Even a laid back group such as us could find plenty of opportunities for things to go sideways, to laugh at, to learn from or to remember for all time. It was…
SAN FRANSISCO ON THE BEACH AT SEAL POINT SPRING 1986
Another catchup video from San Fransisco. This time at the beach on Seal Point (or Sea Lion Point), just west of downtown San Fransisco. As usual it was just me and the girls and my trusty camera. They put up…
MARINEZ CALIFORNIA AFTER UTAH AND JUST BEFORE South Africa

ANOTHER VISITOR AND ANOTHER TRIP TO DISNEYLAND 1987
As I mentioned previously my oldest daughter (D3) was now old enough to travel away from home, so accompanied by her brother (D2), she came to Utah for a look around and to check how we were doing. Of course…
A FLASHBACK TO CALIFORNIA FOR SOME MISSED VIDEO
I am going to step back in time to California just before we left for Utah. I found a couple of videos and trips that we made that I need to insert back in to the mix. Somehow my job…
