Checking out my Twitter feed, I see it's about equally divided between headlines from major news sources and tweets from travel bloggers. Hmmm... does that make me an informed traveler, or am I looking for deals to escape what I'm reading about? 😉

So much to see, so little time
Most people have heard of a Bucket List, the things you want to do or see before you die. We have been truly blessed to experience a lot of wonderful places within and beyond the US, yet I've come to realize that a "bucket" is not nearly large enough to hold all of the places …
Visiting sister Sally
The rumors are true: it rains in the Pacific Northwest. A lot. In fact, Mother Nature is known to pull unkind tricks on spring-hopeful residents by sending them SNOW on April 1st! Not only does this wreak havoc on daffodils and azalea buds, it really messes up people flying out to visit their sisters. Our …
Travelogue: Update #4
Well, we made it home from --------------- on Saturday night and the house is still standing. (Thanks for house- and cat-sitting, Collin) I made the first pass at the mountain of mail and newspapers yesterday, and I've spent most of today catching up on personal and business emails.

We've had much cooler weather than anticipated, and we had a yucky day of wind and rain in ------------- (insert cool town in ML) which really stinks …

Scott was sick the day before we left with a fever – the doctor determined he had a sinus infection, a touch of bronchitis, and conjunctivitis in both eyes – and I really wasn’t sure we’d be …
I love to travel
There are few places in the world that I can think of that I would not want to visit. Maybe I have some vagabond or gypsy blood in me from some past ancestor, I don't know. All I know is, I love to travel. This week our family leaves on what will likely be our …
