Where exactly is Seattle? I know it's in Washington... And how long has Idaho been next to Oregon? I think I'll be getting a geography lesson. ... read more

"You have brains in your head and feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own and you know what you know and only YOU are the one who will decide where to go." -Dr. Seuss While I haven't left the country borders yet, I didn't want to wait to start writing. The hardest part for me seems to be deciding where to go and for how long. Traveling the World seemed like a good idea in theory but I can't figure out where to start first. As many of you know I left my job and now have the freedom to take some me time but the hard part is the adjustment from working for a corporation that told you exactly how to do things suddenly ... read more

A leisurely day today as we moved further south down the east coast on our journey towards the southernmost point of the USA in Key West. After a nice lie in till 8-30 in the sweatbox, a breakfast of bacon rolls and coffee set us up for the day. Detaching all life support this time was a challenge as the heavens had opened...and when it rains in Florida, it really rains!

For this blog, Sofia typed or told me what to type. As she just turned 8, I think it is time to pass it off to her. Though, I do think she may need some help on details for our next trip which is less than 1 month away - Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Singapore. We are both really excited about the adventure..... ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ So, first we went to our hotel on Okeechobee road. We got settled in our room in La Quinta. After that, we went to Subway for dinner. It was really good. But then......We Went To A Concert! Not just any concert. Victoria Justice and Big Time Rush concert - Uh Huh. That's right. I got a Big Tim... read more

So. A little hiatus in my travels since I last wrote. For those who don’t know, I paused in Maryland for a few good reasons: to build on my relationship with extended family and work for a bit in Outdoor Adventure at a small University. I now find myself back on the road with my friend Matt, and a similar focus as I had this previous fall - to discover more of our fine country. (I recognize this is a small amount of information to explain the last 5 months. For those that would like more detail feel free to ask.) Leaving Emmitsburg in April, we first stopped in Asheville, NC. A beautiful town set in the middle of the sharp, tall, lush green mountains of the Blue Ridge and the Great Smokey ranges. Here we ... read more
