No Kids, Will Travel
Pepperoni Rolls
We’ve learned a lot of things about the unique culture of western Pennsylvania during our time here, like perogies are so revered that they’re made into life-sized mascots that do laps at the ballpark. We also have found that the pierogi isn’t the only culturally significant food. The whole coal mining region is in love […]
Sweat Equity
Last week we mentioned that about a year ago Amanda and I, along with my sister and brother-in-law, bought a 40-foot sailboat. The Morgan Ketch (a type of sailboat) is currently at anchor in the pasture of my parents’ farm. We spent less than $10,000 on the project boat, so as you may guess it […]
The Fulfillment of a Childhood Dream
I have always been in love with sailing. I think we might have mentioned that once or twice in past blog posts. We have taken every opportunity to get out on the water when we travel. We’ve booked sailing adventures out of St. Mary’s, Maryland; St. Thomas, USVI; and Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. I’ve even […]
A Different Kind of Bird
Condor Airlines, a subsidiary of Thomas Cook Airlines, has been serving global destinations since 1956. Condor Airlines serves more than seven million passengers and 80 destinations in Europe, America, Africa and Asia. Condor merged with Thomas Cook Airlines UK, Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium and Thomas Cook Airlines Scandinavia in October 2013 to form the Thomas […]
We’re Feeling a Little Flighty…
We’ve slowly taken the time to explore Pittsburgh over the last few years, checking off site after site of must-visit attractions. We chose this weekend to take a look at the National Aviary. That’s right, the National Aviary isn’t located in the D.C. orbit but up here in Western Pennsylvania. The biggest surprise was that […]
Going Over, Over the Border.
We mentioned previously that over Memorial Day weekend my sister Andi and I took a little brother-sister road trip to Toronto. The trip went without a hitch… well, almost. I’ve gotten in the habit of using Apple Maps for directions (I used to be an avid user of actual paper maps) and she piloted me […]
The Beach Boys Might Not Be Right
One of the things we really don’t like about travel is the feeling of being rushed or getting to a destination and being utterly exhausted. We know most of us don’t have all the time in the world when we travel and we want to rush to our destination as fast as possible and begin […]
A Little Road Trip With My Little Sis
This weekend I took a Memorial Day trip to Toronto with my favorite little sister and assistant Andrea. She was a little disappointed that you don’t get a stamp when you drive into Canada; you only get a passport stamp when you fly in. The trip from Pittsburgh only took 5 1/2 hours. We did find out […]
Marking a Milestone
The following post is not about travel, but about being a couple that is childless by choice. The culture of most of the western world promotes the concepts of marriage and parenthood. We’ve mentioned before that the path of motherhood and fatherhood just isn’t for us, and we don’t regret it one bit. When people, […]
A Walk on the Social Side
We, Amanda and I, spend a great deal of our time on social media. Amanda has been on Twitter both personally and professionally since 2009, so it makes sense that we’d recognize it as a place to go for some great information on travel. You just have to be cautious; unfiltered information from other people […]
