Hobbit Tours
As Boromir and countless meme variations (including this gem from Google Maps) will tell you, “one does not simply walk in to Mordor.” So how about a quick trip to the Shire instead? The people of New Zealand have seen a boost in tourism in the last several years due to the film adaptations of […]
Where to Next?
Travelers and travel bloggers have a few things in common; wanderlust for one, and second, friends and relatives who think of us as their go-to sources for travel information and planning. I, for one, love planning trips; I plan trips all the time just for fun. As travelers, we also know that a trip and […]
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 […]
Stay to the Left: an Ireland Adventure
The post this week is a guest post from the man who first got me to start journaling my adventures, my father, Randy. So, yes he does have kids, but none of them are dependants. I asked him to write up a blog post on his recent trip to Ireland with my mother. I am […]
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 […]
