Carry-on Bag Requirements: Though you might find an inch or two of a difference with various airlines, the standard domestic carry-on luggage size is 22" x 14" x 9", which includes the handle and the wheels. This size limit ensures your bag — and ideally everyone else's — will be able to be stored safely in the overhead bin for your flight.

Pixel 8 Pro phone problem The camera was not recording location data into the JPG file. So when I went back to review my photos from the previous 5 days, there's no indication of where I was when I took the photo. To solve the problem I had to disable the camera app, re-enable the camera app and then review the settings.  I found one setting that said something about not allowing other apps access to the camera location. When I initially configured the camera, I remember turning that off, but that was the reason that my images had no locat...

Day 07:  Wittenberg Exploration Date Jan 9, 2024 ( Tuesday ) Total This Camino: 59 miles. Total 2024 Caminos: 59 miles Total All Caminos: 2059 miles Lodging: Marta's @ $68 Total Lodging: $ 460 Planes: $ 1300 Total Planes / Travel Insurance: $ 1470 Buses / Trains / Taxis: $ 19 Total Buses / Trains / Taxis: $ 63 Food: $ 22 Total Food: $ 200 Meaningful Moment Katholische Kirche Sankt Marien In an interesting contrast with Spanish churches, there is a distinctive absence of iconography.  In truth, the difference is much more complicated. Many of the Lutheran churches have a Catholic basis and so they have the iconography. That suggests this particular Catholic church is much newer, whatever that means, and it's styling is in the more sparse Protestant style. The interior styling is so much simpler. Removal of icons and relics and other items of what would be considered idolatry is very common in Protestant churches, but the distinction between t...

Carrying Memories of Old Friends

A More Common Occurrence These Days Date Dec 21, 2023  (Thursday) Total This Camino: 0 miles. Total 2024 Caminos: 0 miles Total All Caminos: 2000 miles Planes: $ 1300 Total Planes / Travel Insurance: $ 1470 Meaningful Moment The other day I received an email that another person of significance to my life had crossed the final bridge. I don't know how to phrase it.  It brought both a smile and a regret to the fore. I smiled because I instantly remembered the best of the person, and regret because I realized that I will not build another common memory with them. In the last twelve months, I have attended four memorial services for U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary members with whom I served. (Mike B, John B, Bob C & now Ann P). These were good people who graced my life with shared experiences supporting the boating public through Boating Education or direct support through Boatcrew Search & Rescue or camaraderie as a Flotilla Staff Officer & in Leadersh...
