On the Road is a weekday feature spotlighting reader photo submissions.
From the exotic to the familiar, whether you’re traveling or in your own backyard, we would love to see the world through your eyes.
Good Morning All,
This weekday feature is for Balloon Juicers who are on the road, travelling, etc. and wish to share notes, links, pictures, stories, etc. from their escapades. As the US mainland begins the end of the Earth day as we measure it, many of us rise to read about our friends and their transient locales.
So, please, speak up and share some of your adventures, observations, and sights as you explore, no matter where you are. By concentrating travel updates here, it’s easier for all to keep up-to-date on the adventures of our fellow Commentariat. And it makes finding some travel tips or ideas from 6 months ago so much easier to find…
Have at ’em, and have a safe day of travels!
Should you have any pictures (tasteful, relevant, etc….) you can email them to [email protected] or just use this nifty link to start an email: Start an Email to send a Picture to Post on Balloon Juice
Even more from Rlchina 大芒果!
Other notes or info about the picture:
the Mrs. and the hotel cat is my favorite picture…I set it as background on computers in all the places we stayed…..
I recommend train travel and the “lesser” sites to get a true favor of where ever you go…our best moments have come away from the must see tourist places (with a few exceptions Siem Reap for example)…
Apologies for the sidewards-ho pictures. WordPress isn’t letting me rotate them and I’m tired and brain is off. So please, everybody….one…two…three. it’s just a (neck) turn to the left.
I’m once again a bit spooked by both DemocraticUnderground and FreeRepublic being down. I implore you to ensure your precious data is backed up, and that you have updated machines and security software. It’s serious and will be forever.
Travel safe everyone, and please send in more pictures. I’m getting close to my last reserve, so folks on the road or even at home, please share your world!

Done. As are my precious fluids.

I sent you about 7 pics, I’ve got lots more. Maybe some pics from Seoul next.
rikyrah
Love the pictures ?
Quinerly
Love these. Poco beach pictures next week! He has had a blast.
Elizabelle
All good pics, but especially like Mrs. and the cat.
OzarkHillbilly
@Elizabelle: The cat is not too sure about that guy with the camera, pretty sure he’s up to no good!
Elizabelle
@OzarkHillbilly: Yeah. That cat looks 2 seconds from escape mode.

Good morning everyone! Great pictures, are they from Siem Reap? Because I’m going there in a volunteer vacay in November.
Great picture of Mrs. Richina!
And because I’m like a five year old, Happy Birthday to me!!!
?BillinGlendaleCA
@OzarkHillbilly: Those dudes with cameras are always BAD NEWS.
Elizabelle
@satby: Happy Birthday, satby! Hope this is a fantastic year for you.
And best to greennotGreen and her family, and everyone out there.
?BillinGlendaleCA
I’ve got a new set that I’ll send out tomorrow, LA2024! No Seoul pics yet, I’m scanning from film and that takes more time to get things right.
@satby: Happy b-day.
satby
Yes, we haven’t heard from greennotGreen’s sister since the evening before yesterday, have we? The update that Cheryl front paged?
Continued strength to that devoted family and peace to greennotGreen!
satby
@Elizabelle: thanks!
@?BillinGlendaleCA: thanks! And what scanner do you use to convert from film to digital?
?BillinGlendaleCA
@satby: This one for 35mm and 110 negatives and slides, and an Epson 550 for other sizes.
Baud
@satby: Yay! Happy, auspicious day! ?????
OzarkHillbilly
@?BillinGlendaleCA: Never trust a man with a camera.
Elizabelle
@satby: Scanned the threads for “green” (since yesterday morning’s thread). Nothing from her family.
They all continue to be in our thoughts. And I hope green knows how badly Trump has stepped on his dick. Special prosecutor. Take that!
Baud
@OzarkHillbilly: Learned that the hard way.
JPL
@satby: Celebrate!

@satby:
Happy birthday to you!
OzarkHillbilly
@satby: So you’re still getting older?
OzarkHillbilly
@Baud: Or a man with a tape recorder. My ex’s husband learned that one the hard way.
Baud
@OzarkHillbilly: Or a man with a ball gag.
Baud
@OzarkHillbilly: Just her portrait.
OzarkHillbilly
@Baud: More personal experience? Or just too much Tarantino?
NotMax
No pix, however a pleasant interlude spent over an iced tea with erudite and savvy commenter Hkedi [Kang T. Q.] on Wednesday afternoon.
@satby
Happy natal anniversary! May the day be as pleasingly stunning as frozen soap bubbles.
satby
@Baud: @JPL: @Steeplejack (phone): Thanks ?
rlchina 大芒果
@satby: I believe those are from Sukhothai Thailand old palace complex.
satby
@OzarkHillbilly: old Irish saying: do not begrudge getting older, it’s a privilege denied to many!
@Baud: the portrait is frightful!

@NotMax: Thanks NotMax, those were beautiful! And the birds singing in the background made it even more tranquil to watch.
satby
@rlchina 大芒果: Great, appreciate all your photos. Thanks!

Alain,
I have edited 73 pix from Italy trip, and titled them with meaningful names. In the past when I send named pics, they just get posted w/o any identifying information.
How do you want information to post with the photos? I see that many/most photos get some sort of descriptive information. I’m happy to send a short description of the trip, where we were, what we saw, etc.
I don’t think I’m able to send the pics embedded into an article, as Yahoo email limits the size of attached files. I have sent Zipped bundles of photos in the past, and I don’t know if text with embedded photos will compress and unpack well – I am happy to try if you like.
Any advice gratefully accepted!

@Quinerly: I’m looking forward to Poco pictures. Did Poco chase any seagulls?
Juju
@satby: Happy birthday to you. I hope you have a nice cake, or at least some cupcakes in your immediate future.

@satby: Happy Birthday!
