Even More NYC Adventures

Another day and more fun in NYC… This day, we began our tour around the city by visiting ground zero (the 911 Memorial) – therefore, this day began with a lot of tears from yours truly. I would sincerely recommend you have tickets when visiting – and it is incredibly easy to get them. You [...]

Bangkok

We’ve been home now almost 3 1/2 weeks and I still feel so affected and have so many images and ideas roaming around my head from our trip. Touring Thailand and Cambodia and small sections of Laos and Myanmar was definitely eye-opening for me. I’d say this was the best vacation I’ve ever had – [...]

Thailand Recovery

We are still in recovery mode here – who knew this trip would take so much out of us? Pops is trying to get over a stomach bug and a cold – it’s happening slowly but surely. And I’m struggling with a tad bit of the stomach thing and jet lag. Each day is better [...]

Thailand so Far

We are loving Thailand!! Here are some photos I’ve taken with my phone to hopefully give you a little feel of our trip.

Vancouver from Up High

Back from our amazing trip to Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia. I have lots to share, but today, I’ll simply start with these photos taken from the Vancouver Lookout Tower – one of our tourist stopping points. We enjoyed a 360 degree view of the city from the 430 foot high tower.     lots [...]

Back to Reality

Ok, that doesn’t sound too bad does it?? It’s not, and I’m not complaining…well, except I would’ve liked more time to blog about our trip this week. I have more photos from beautiful Lake Tahoe coming soon…what a fabulous time of year to visit the lake! There’s still snow on the mountains, the air is [...]

Tahoe – Rubicon Trail to Emerald Bay Hike

As expected, it’s just glorious up here in Lake Tahoe. We’re staying in Incline Village for 5 days with our good friends Greg and Dianna. There is still quite a bit of snow up on the mountaintops making almost every view simply gorgeous. The crisp, clean air just makes the colors seem much more vivid [...]

Plane Food Plan

Yes, we flew to Hawaii today..phew we made it even after all my guilty-feelings and preparations. Thanks everyone for your encouragement and support. I’ll admit it takes me a bit to get motivated to go somewhere, but I’m NEVER sorry once I get there. I can tell this trip will be no different! Since it’s [...]

Off to Texas

and this photo epitomizes how I feel: although he hasn’t been packing and going through his inbox one last time and checking/replying to messages and making lists for Mimi (dog and house sitter extraordinaire). Nope truly he’s been doing nothing this morning, but snoring under the covers on the bed…lazy boy…you’d think he’d at least [...]

Packing List

I do this every time we travel…stress about forgetting something. We’re only gone for 5 days. Still there are some things that I’m simply lost without. I mean really, you don’t want to be around me if I don’t have these things. Somehow, Pops can travel pretty much hands free and be calm and not [...]

Virginia City – Ghost Town #2

Because it’s my favorite month – I’d like to write about another ghost town we visited on our last road trip.  After stopping in Bodie, California we made our way to Virginia City, Nevada. Virginia City sits at an elevation of 6,220 and, like Bodie, is also an old mining town. In addition to gold [...]

Bodie – Wild West Ghost Town

After our recent trip to Yosemite, and on our way up to visit friends in Reno, Pops and I stopped in the ghost town Bodie. I have wanted to visit Bodie for years. Not just because it’s said to be a ghost town, but also because I saw some amazing photographs of the town taken [...]
