It finally happened. I “slept in” until 7. Yes, ladies and gents, this is pretty crazy for me. And it was awesome. The trusty Hampton Inn delivered a so-so breakfast, but it was free, so I’ll take it. Got a […]
Jackson Hole’s Million Dollar Cowboy Bar Sad to find exactly zero bison in the picnic area in front of our cabin when we woke up. The bartender got us all worked up after telling us how they just hang out […]
All The Wildlife of Yellowstone So much for sleeping in. #EpicFail. I woke up at four o’clock in the morning… which turned okay because I posted my first blog of the trip while the #AdventurePartnerForLife snoozed away next to me. […]

The Short Version of the Itinerary Before diving into the finer details of our Fiji stopover and New Zealand road trip, let’s explore the big picture quickly. This two-week bender included about 21 hours of flight time one way and […]
A Day In Ljubljana, Slovenia Woke up early to catch a train to Ljubljana, Slovenia. Same great train ride, half the distance back, only no bickering with the husband. Saw the cab driver from the day before at the train […]
