It’s so heartbreaking to see the devastation brought to the U.S. and British Virgin Islands last week by Hurricane Irma. Steve and I started visiting the Virgin Islands in 2005 and instantly fell in love with all of them. We have visited almost every single one of the USVI and BVI, including St. Thomas, St.… Continue reading Virgin Islands Hurricane Relief
Steve and I have been lucky to have some incredible travel experiences over the years (and a few not so good ones, too). It took me a little time to think of my top 10 over the course of the last 17 years, which is when we started to travel in earnest after graduating college… Continue reading Top 10 Travel Experiences
On my last full day in Colorado, I decided that my legs needed a break from hiking. I decided to make the scenic drive to the town of Leadville, Colorado, which was about an hour away from Beaver Creek.

We had a two night weekend planned, which ended up being a three night weekend when our flight home was cancelled on Sunday afternoon due to weather and we couldn’t get rebooked until Monday afternoon. Oh well, there are certainly worse places you can stuck for an extra night! We took our short Southwest flight… Continue reading Four Seasons Hotel – Austin, Texas
My husband grew up in far east Texas, near the Louisiana border in a very, very small town called Linden, TX. Linden is not know for much other than being the hometown of music artist Don Henley. The other weekend we drove out to Linden to visit some family graves and leave some flowers so… Continue reading Jefferson, Texas and the Poltergeist Hotel
I previously wrote about some of my travel fears, the chief among them being my fear of flying, which I’ve managed to deal with pretty well. I did start thinking about a few others that I have in connection with the link-up, though. Fear of Losing Key Items I can’t think of any worse feeling… Continue reading Travel Fears
During my downtime, Steve and I will also be taking a trip together for one week. We’ll be spending a week in Oregon and I am really looking forward to this visit. We fly into Portland and then will be driving straight out to the coast and spending 3 nights on Cannon Beach. In 2016… Continue reading Oregon Plans – Beach and Wine
A week ago I decided that I needed a little time to myself. I have an upcoming summertime lull in my work schedule for the first time in almost two years and I have been hard charging for awhile now.
