California. San Francisco/Santa Rosa/Sonoma/Napa/Muir Woods. June 2019

The New Orleans crew, dog included (well traveled dog!) had already booked this California trip before we booked that New Orleans trip I believe! Destination: wine country! As a prelude I will say that I really had to idea what to expect from this trip! I had never been to California before. I did notContinue reading “California.

New Orleans, March 2019

The beginning of 2019 brought some new travel opportunities! My bff Nicki (from here on out, the Adventurer Sidekick) got a sweet deal with a Chase Southwest credit card. For a little spending within a set time period she got a decent chunk of points with Southwest and a companion pass for the rest ofContinue reading “New Orleans, March 2019”

Solo trip to MA and VT, Sept 2018

This was my last trip of 2018! If you read the previous entry on my June trip to Colorado you may recall that one was supposed to be my first ever solo trip. It was half solo, so this one became my first full solo trip. Now you may think to yourself what is soContinue reading “Solo trip to MA and VT, Sept 2018”

Clayton, GA/Asheville, NC. June 2018

In early June, my troupe and I (3 humans and 2 dogs) crammed into an old Rav 4 and headed up ten or so hours to Northeast Georgia. Why you might ask? Well, my best friend’s old dog was ill and she wanted to do a last hurrah with the pup, so that meant aContinue reading “Clayton, GA/Asheville, NC. June 2018”

Alaska. Girdwood/Seward/Denali National Park/Talkeetna. June 2017

National Park Counter: 5 SUPER AWESOME TRIP. This was my first “major” trip: furthest I have ever been away from home base, longest ever flight, probably the most different spot I have been to, and the place with the most “things” I have ever done on a vacation. This is a lengthy post, and IContinue reading “Alaska. Girdwood/Seward/Denali National Park/Talkeetna. June 2017”

Grand Canyon National Park, AZ. March 2015

National Park Counter: 4 Ok! Here we go! So, firstly, this was not my trip and was not planned by me. I was accompanying my best friend on a personal journey. This was her trip. That being said it was an EYE OPENING experience for many reasons. This was my first journey west. We flewContinue reading “Grand Canyon National Park, AZ. March 2015”
