Xplor-Inn
With Beth, Mark, Devon & Daedez
Welcome Home
The world has become a far different place than it was last October when I set out to create this blog. OTOH, Mark and I have finally acquired the trailer of our dreams and are embarking on long awaited adventures. We hope you will ride along as we sally forth.

Reorganizing
With a little help from the “Happiness Engineers” at wordpress.com, some You Tube tutorials, and additional assistance from my resident IT guy; I’m attempting to back up and revamp Xplor-Inn to be more than just a travel blog. While I hope to continue documenting our trips, I also want to make room for some not-necessarily-travel-related essays and creative writing. I am also adding a lot of the pictures we took, as promised. Thank you for your patience.

05:45. Today we secure the Inn, pack down and pull out on the first and longest leg of the trip home. Why does it figure? It is grey, raining, and windy. Not charmingly foggy and cool… oh no… that wouldn’t be inconvenient weather in…

Up about my usual time. Finished writing up yesterday’s entry. Devon is still snoring steadily. I have a touch of post nasal drip going on, but nothing extraordinary. Other than outrageously itchy bug bites, my allergies haven’t given me much grief at all this…

K’tai is an abbreviation for the Mongolian term ‘kuraltai’. Kuraltai is a governing meeting, much like the Norse ‘althing’, where a people come together to enact policy, settle disputes, make group decisions, etc. The SCA holds meetings they call “Curia” for this purpose. Moritu’s…

I woke slowly, from dreams I can’t recall, which is highly unusual for me. Mark and Khuren were still snoozing, so I took the opportunity to reorganize my clothing drawers. With 6 days of trip left to go, I came up one outfit and…
