Equifax Data Breach Settlement

Aloha Everyone,

Here is an outline of Equifax Data Breach Settlement.

1.  Equifax had their data breach about 3 years ago.
2.  You can go online to verify whether or not your SS# was compromised.
3.  J.J. was not, but my SS# was.
4.  If your SS# is among the ones that may have been compromised, you can go online and receive $125 one time compensation or choose the first option of having an independent third party monitor your data for the next 10 years.

I chose the first option.

Why Disney World in Florida is Mosquito Free

Aloha Everyone,

I always make sure that we carry insect repellents whenever we travel to Florida. I personally don’t recall being bitten by mosquitoes in one of the happiest places on earth or resort to using hydrocortisone cream after a bite.

So here is the answer. This is a fascinating story of how Walt Disney created a mostly pest-free amusement park in the middle of Florida’s swamp country. This amazing achievement is credited to MIT graduate and engineering expert Major General William “Joe” Potter. Below is a link to the Reader’s Digest article.

Back to Kanarraville, Utah

Aloha Everyone,

There is a beautiful Nephi city park located less than a mile from High Country RV Park where we stayed last night. J.J. parked Honu to clean the  windshield and windows. Lots of dead insects during the summer months. It gave me a chance to walk around the perimeter of this beautiful well maintained park.

I drove 1 1/2 hours this morning. Trying to squeeze in driving time before we return to California where my driving Honu is unthinkable.

By 1:00 pm, we were greeted by Gail at the Red Ledge RV Park in Kanarraville.  

J.J. and I have a list of things to do before our next overseas trip.

An Extraordinary Day

Aloha Everyone,

It began as an ordinary day. After my walk and breakfast with J.J., we were ready to move. I began today’s drive taking advantages of states where I feel comfortable to drive.

In the town of Heber, J.J. stopped to inquire about having wheel alignment. Receiving a positive response and being informed that it would take about two hours, we decided to go ahead.

A wonderful leisurely lunch at a nearby Mexican restaurant.

When the two of us  seated ourselves in the customer waiting lounge, little did we realize that the waiting time would extend to 5 hours. The job scheduling manager was polite and professional. She apologized profusely over the unexpected delay. The actual work took 15-20 minutes. With more apologies, she comp the job.

Unfortunately, two KOA campgrounds which we were planning to stop & stay closed by 6:00 pm. Recalling a small RV Park in Nephi, J.J. drove an additional 90 minutes. High Country RV Park was where we frequented when J.J. did volunteer photography for the US Forest Services.  

Fortunately, using their self check-in, J.J. and were able to settle in for the night.

Serendipity Meeting with Bob & Diane - Pleasant Drive on Wyoming 220

Aloha Everyone,

Bob and Diane invited us to see their brand new Mercedes Benz Sprinter. Their cabin was manufactured by Coachman. It is luxurious and has notable upgrades. J.J. and I peeked around with aahhh and oooh. On their maiden voyage, a rock ricocheted from a passing car made a small crack on the windshield. Having experienced a couple of cracks with Honu’s windshield, J.J. offered a temporary solution until they take it for repair.

J.J. and I enjoy meeting people especially when they share similar interests like travel! Before we parted company, Diane and I exchanged our contact info and promised to keep in touch.

From Casper, Wyoming, we took Wyoming State Highway 220.  This is a less-traveled roads. No stunning or breathtaking scenery but the unfolding scenes encapsulated the beauty of rural America. It was a joyful drive and a reminder of why we love our RV adventures.

Aloha -- Cathi
