We hope you had a Great Thanksgiving!
We recently had to rebuild our address book, You may be getting an email for the first time in sometime. If you receive a duplicate message, reply to the one you want removed and it will be removed. If you do not want to receive our messages, reply with instructions and we will follow them.
If you are one of those who has not received emails from us for awhile, we should tell you we are near the toe of Texas at Donna, just north of the Rio Grande and about an hour from South Padre Island.
Larry has been rebuilding the http://TravelingMorgans.com web site. You can see why at our site news page
( http://travelingmorgans.com/TM-Main/TM-SiteNews.shtml). The new drop down menu system makes navigation very easy. If you are still using an older browser (such as IE6), the menus will not drop down, but the navigation buttons will take you to an appropriate section of our site map.
Please remember to click on any picture or map to see a larger version.
Our recommendations pages are now in pretty good order. You can select the ones you want to see from our site map at

Our 2008 Travels page was never completed in the old format. It is now on line in the new format at
http://travelingmorgans.com/TM-Year/2008.shtml.
The 2009 Travels Page is nearly finished. There are a lot more pictures to add, but the comments are up to date at
http://travelingmorgans.com/TM-Year/2009.shtml
One of the highlights of 2009 was the Texas Skimmer boat out of Rockport TX. We saw about a quarter of the whooping cranes currently alive, plus many other birding highlights and had dolphins swimming in our wake.
Scott’s Bluff NE and Custer State Park SD are well worth a few days of anyone’s time.
Yellowstone was fabulous. Everyone should have a chance to spend several weeks there. Since it takes a long time to select and prepare the relative handful of pictures we post out of the thousands we have taken, it will be months before the YELLOWSTONE pages include our recent trip. The other locations mentioned will have their own pages also, but they are not up yet.
We also had wonderful times visiting with friends, even more than we list on the web pages.
There will be pictures added a little at a time, and the 2009 page will change a little almost every day. Some other pages will change also.
We will only send out a notification when a page or section is completed.
We had some hard times this year also. We had a good job go bad. Roscoe (miniature Schnauzer) had to have a second surgery for bladder stones. Our new trailer lost a wheel bearing while we were on our way to Yellowstone. There were others. We mention these only to provider perspective. It has been a wonderful year and we remain flexible and resilient.
We would sure like to hear from you.
Thank you, and an early Merry Christmas.
