Mark Paarman an his Example of a Life Well Lived
I along with a lot of other members of the sailing community was introduced to Mark Paarman the surfing/sailing skipper of the vessel Millennium through the Gone with the Wynns youtube channel. I feel that getting his story out there is important and that the travel and wanderlust community can help. Mark knows how to […]
A Martian Experience is Closer than You Think
If you are a regular reader of this blog you know we love space. We are what you’d call “Astro-nuts.” We are always looking for ways to enrich our space-loving lives such as attending Space Camp.

The Gulf (Stream) War: A Sail to the Bahamas
We’ve been teasing my sailing adventure with my sister and brother-in-law for some time now and it’s time to share some details. I arrived in Fort Lauderdale after driving across the Everglades in a rental car about a week and a half ago to meet Andi, Matt, and their crewmate Sam. I was geared […]

My Walk Through History
I was doing some thinking this weekend about all the historic places and events I’ve witnessed and devised a chart to cover some of them.
Launch Director Tour of Space Shuttle Atlantis
We know Kennedy Space Center (KSC) is on the other side of the state from where we currently live in Florida but it is really tempting for space nuts like us. The Launch Director Tour of Space Shuttle Atlantis with Mike Leinbach gets you an inside look at the shuttle program with its risks, rewards, […]
NO! SLEEP! TILL TAMPA!
I’ve spent a lot of time behind the wheel in my life. I’ve driven from North Carolina to Maryland each weekend for 2 years and the memorable 2 years driving from DC to Pittsburgh each weekend. This time around I completed the marathon 20-hour drive from Pittsburgh to our new home in Tampa, stopping only […]
Packing, Packing, and More Packing
You’d be amazed at how much more stuff you can accumulate in 5 years. I think a purge of stuff is always helpful and there’s nothing like moving to help you get in the mood to get rid of extra things you never use. We are up to our ears in moving preps. Our pod […]
