My Amazing Experience With Delta’s Virtual Assist Customer Service (Pilot) Program

November 7, 2015 by solestraveling Leave a Comment

Business travel is awesome; don’t let anyone tell you it’s not, the same goes for incentive travel, it can help with team building and strengthen the employee/employer bond. But just because it’s awesome doesn’t mean it doesn’t come with difficulties. You’re often told where to fly, when to be there, what to eat, etc. Not … [Read more…]

If you’re from Seattle (like I am), it’s no secret that the city is growing at a very fast pace. So, it’s only natural that SeaTac is the fastest growing large airport in the U.S. And Delta is taking notice by chasing after Alaska’s base and adding more and more flights to and from Seattle. And … [Read more…]

About Me

I travel, write, photo, experience, learn. I’m a wanderlust addict and prefer the window seat — be it on a plane or in the R-Pod. Relocated to Raleigh in 2016 after nine years in Seattle, but still a Detroiter at heart. Next destination: wherever.

The @grandcanyonnps is super dog friendly! Dogs ar The @grandcanyonnps is super dog friendly! Dogs are allowed at the campgrounds, at pullouts,  and on all trails above the South Rim. Many times we miss out on an amazing view, or can't hike, because dogs are not allowed outside of developed areas at many National Parks. Being able to bring our dog, @sinatradoggy, with us as we hiked gave us peace of mind, and he loved exploring new trails. One lodge, Yavapai, has pet-friendly rooms. And if you do want to venture below the Rim, GCNP has a dog boarding facility on-site.

The Grand Canyon is truly grand. We had multiple p The Grand Canyon is truly grand. We had multiple people tell us to skip it because "it was just a hole in the ground." It's hard for me to understand why anyone could think that, and I can't wait to show you why we think  it's one of the most beautiful places we've ever visited -- and why it's considered one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. 

I finally sifted through over the 1200 photos and videos I took, and I'll be posting my favorite @grandcanyonnps photos all week.

We kind of randomly found @pointofrocksrvcampgroun We kind of randomly found @pointofrocksrvcampground, but glad we did. The campground is surrounded by the Granite Dells, and just a short walk down a path to Lake Watson. We hiked a bit on a path and found a few nice places to enjoy the view. I loved this unscheduled stop.

The London Bridge was purchased from the city of L The London Bridge was purchased from the city of London for 2.46million USD. It was the crazy idea of the founder of Lake Havasu to attract people to the area and sell homes in the (planned) community. Here's a fun fact, the bridge was originally built over land and the channel canal under was dredged out and flooded. Another fun fact: The lamp posts are  melted-down cannons from Napoleon Bonaparte's army.

Desert View Tower (and swipe to end to see Coyote' Desert View Tower (and swipe to end to see Coyote's Flying Saucer Repair) is just off interstate 8 in Jacumba, California. The tower was built in 1922 and served as a dedication to transportation workers that helped open the region to travel. The bottom floor is a gift shop, there is an observation tower on top, and a museum inside. Word is it's even an AirBnB. The tower is adjacent to boulder park, where you can climb boulders and view art installations within the boulders (for a small fee). 

On the way to the park, you'll pass an interesting art installation of flying saucers, RV, and who knows what else. Definitely worth a drive-by.

Fiesta Island Dog Park in San Diego is an off-leas Fiesta Island Dog Park in San Diego is an off-leash park, on Fiesta Island (which is entirely off-leash!). The dog park is on the south side of the island and the trail is about 2 miles. You can walk on the beach (which our dog prefers) and dogs can play on the beach, in the water, on the trail, etc. The island has bon fire pits, you can drive right on the beach, and even has areas for water skiing, jet skis, and other water sports tricks. 

Our dog, @sinatradoggy, loved it so much that he started whining and getting excited as soon as we entered the island. And he was sooo tired when we got home.

Have you ever had a California burrito? Start with Have you ever had a California burrito? Start with a big flour tortilla, stuff it with meat, potato (french fries, or in some cases tots), cheese, guac, maybe salsa fresca and you have a delicious meal. Rumor has it that California burritos came about when gringo surfers wanted something a bit more substantial after riding waves for hours - and thus the uniquely San Diego staple was born. 

My husband used to live two blocks from @tacosurfpb and raves about it -- so I couldn't wait to try it. At Taco Surf you can make your own Cali burrito, and they use hash browns instead of fries (which I prefer). The carne asada here is really good and the burritos are HUGE. Taco Surf also has an extensive collection of surf boards inside the shop, including many vintage boards from the 60's and 70's. I'm a big fan of Taco Surf and totally understand the hype - which is why we ordered take out from it five times in 6 weeks.

Cathedral Palms RV Resort (an All American RV Resort) is near Palm Springs and not too far from Joshua Tree. It's located near shopping (Target, Trader Joes) and has many large spots to accommodate all sorts of RVs. We really enjoyed this park, as our site was quite large and the park was quiet. It also has nice amenities like a pool, hot tub, laundry, dog park, pickleball courts, and more.

Carpinteria State Beach is a large oceanside state because with RV and tent camping, as well as day-use surfing, bodyboarding, etc. The park has three sections, one with full hook-ups. The park has a lot of oceanside camping spots, but all of the spots are very small and tight. I'd make sure to check the side of your spot to make sure your camper will fit -- as there is not much room for error. The state park is also adjacent to the Carpinteria Tar Pits and offers amazing bluffs and sunset views.

Sliding down the concrete slides at Pismo Beach Pier is super fun. The slide starts at the playground and drops you to the beach. It's pretty fast and there isn't a lot of room to stop. My husband wore running shoes with grip, so he didn't have an issue but my flip flops didn't have enough traction to stop me. Watch as I bust my butt and probably actually bruised my coccyx (tailbone) pretty badly, as it still hurts four weeks later. We went to the Pier at 7am in early December to avoid crowds. The pier was recently redone and features airstream trailers for concessions, a modern artsy playground (with climbing equipment, the slides) and a large promenade. While dogs are not permitted on the pier, they are permitted on the beach. Definitely add Pismo Beach Pier Slides to your free things to do in Pismo Beach list!
