"Peculiar travel arrangements are dancing lessons from God" - I have no idea where I first heard that phrase, but it best describes my attitude.
After a youth well-spent in gypsy wayfaring travels throughout Europe and the United States, I gave birth to a daughter who screamed whenever I put her in a car seat. So I settled down in Eugene, Oregon. That baby is now a lovely young woman embarking on her own journey. And now I return to my first love: travel.
With this blog I plan to savor all the joy possible for each little trip. With gleeful anticipation I will post countdowns to the next big one, logging obsessive notes on plans and itineraries that I will disregard once I hit the road. It will also be a way for my loved ones back home to keep in touch with where I am as I start a whole new phase of life as a solo traveler.
I hope to find my voice through sharing what I love.

Obsessively travel planning. Start up a travel blog. Yes. And in the meantime, plan a trip to California! It's 54 days until my California adventure. Hmmm.... doesn't have quite the same ring to my ears. Gotta work on that.... read more
