I was recently asked for advice on my must-have items by a friend that is embarking on a four week adventure. Based on my experience traveling by myself for three weeks between Australia and New Zealand, I gave her my run down and then she asked if there was anything I wish I would have…
I may be biased, but Michigan is the greatest state in the union. And, according to Thrillist, I’m right! As part of the “America Week” campaign, Thrillist released “The Definitive and final ranking of all 50 states.” States were ranked on their contributions to America, specifically “inventions, food/drink, somewhat productive famous people, unique physical beauty,…
The Pacific Northwest really is nature’s playground. We’re surrounded with so much beauty and a short drive from Seattle can lead us to snow, mountains, ocean, rain forest, lush deciduous forests, and even the desert! Mount Rainier is one of the more recognizable sights from Seattle, that is “when the mountain is out.” In fact,…
I love easy day trips from Seattle, especially when you get to see something cool like a waterfall. Snoqualmie Falls is about 45 minutes west of Downtown Seattle, and gets an average of 1.5 million visitors per year. Chad has never been there (he’s semi-new to Seattle) and I figured it would be a good…
Well, first, I decided to go to Australia sometime last month. I just kind of decided. Then, somehow, my trip turned into a three week tour of Australia and New Zealand. I bought my tickets on January 16th, and here I am today. I also decided not to check bags. While I can check three…
This is my second trip to Syracuse for work, again I was there for an event at Destiny USA. I had a great time on my first trip to Syracuse in November, but I didn’t have a ton of time to enjoy all the the gems that the city offers because I had to rush…
Spoiler alert: You’re going to want to take a bath in Lysol I’m sick. Like, coughing, runny nose, puffy face sick. One might think with as much as I fly, I’d be sick all the time. That isn’t the case, however. In fact, last year I only had a few quick sore throats that were…
I woke up, saw a notification from Delta Airlines. And then it all hit me. Oh yeah, I bought a ticket to Vegas last night, and the plane leaves in a few hours.
I needed two more nights at the Hilton in 2014, so I called Laura and asked her if she wanted to take a random trip to Portland. Of course, she was in. We left after work on Friday, and headed down at about 6:00 p.m. The freeway was a mess, and I half listened to…
I’ve traveled more days this year than any other year of my life. Most of my travel was for work, but some of it was for fun. So, this is what 82 flights to 21 states and two provinces looks like on a map. My one regret this year was not going overseas, but I…
