No Kids, Will Travel
Boys and Travel Toys
Last week we tackled holiday gift ideas for the female traveler on your “nice” list — this week it’s the guys’ turn. Again, no disclaimers needed here, these gift selections are my own finds. We boys — I mean men.. suave, sophisticated, worldly, manly men — travel light. We don’t need two bags of clothes and a […]
Great Gifts for the Female Traveler
The holiday season is now upon us and you may find yourself wondering what you should get for the female traveler in your life. I know shopping for your significant other can be challenging at times, especially when she doesn’t give you much of an idea of what she’d like or need. If you’re here […]
Headed to the Minors
I think if you’ve been reading our blog you might have gotten the idea that Amanda and I crave sunshine and the warm summer breezes (which is true), so it might feel like a contradiction when you learn we freaking love ice hockey. I know, weird huh? Remember our trip to Toronto last February? It was prompted […]
Just a Little Pinch
The things we’re willing to do for the love of travel. We’ll stand in line to be searched, scanned and even frisked by Transportation Security Administration representatives. We’ll pay for the privilege of checking a bag or some in-flight entertainment to pass the time in the air. And in this case, we’ll even go to […]
Flight Cancelations
The weather on the east coast of the United States this past week has reminded me of something important: you should always be prepared in case your flight is canceled. So, I scoured the internet looking for the best examples of what to do if your flight is canceled due to weather. Of course, in […]
We’ve Joined Pinterest!
I have to admit like a lot of people out there Pinterest has become one of our main sources of kitten and puppy pictures. The picture-focused social media site allows its members to post images with short captions and arrange them by subject on boards. You can then share your boards and pins with others […]
The O. Henry Hotel in Greensboro, NC
I was definitely excited for this little road trip. I was ready to leave work on Thursday at noon and drive the five-and-a-half hours from Frederick to Greensboro, North Carolina and hit the town. I was sure that we’d come away from the trip with loads to tell you about the North Carolina town for […]
A Simple Retreat
The lives we live today are often busy, carrying us from here to there and filled with distraction. The distractions in our lives don’t just extend to life outside the home. We fill our homes up with distractions too, the large televisions, the computers, the wired world, the six different ways to make coffee (okay, […]
I am a time traveler
I have a confession to make: I am a time traveler. I can’t jump back in time to different points in my life whenever I want to. I don’t use an elaborate steampunky device or use the chamber from Quantum Leap; I simply pick up one of my journals and read. I have talked often […]
Celebrating Us, and Our Love for Travel
Today, Zeke and I are celebrating our sixth wedding anniversary (and about eight-and-a-half years of being each other’s favorite travel companion). We’ve stolen away to the family beach house on the Outer Banks in North Carolina and we’re enjoying the peace and quiet that comes with an autumn beach vacation. (Side note: our house-sitter reports […]
