I’m sure you’d be surprised to learn that I get asked all the time where I even came up with the name “Global Debauchery.” Well… Exhibit A below. Now, I promise you I’m not an alcoholic, but it is indeed true that one of my all-time favorite rituals is my airport beer. Right along with […]
We’ll be visiting Glacier National Park today, but… I think it’s safe to say I may have overdone it last night. I’m sure a combination of factors led to me feeling pretty poorly this morning (the altitude, a horrible but free Jaegermeister shot, drinking another high-percentage beer, etc.), but mostly, I probably just drank more […]
Gorgeous morning in Jackson Hole! Sunny with just a few clouds in the sky, fog lifting off the hilltops. Stopped off at the post office to mail a super cool holographic postcard to my nephew for his collection before we headed out. We’d just left town for touring Yellowstone and found a herd of bison […]
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 big day ahead of us, touring and hiking in the Grand Tetons. NOTE: THIS POST […]
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 there all the time. She told us she sees grizzlies all the time on the […]
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. It was lightly snowing when I woke up and a little colder than I was […]
Off to West Yellowstone Remind me to never book a 6 a.m. flight ever again. Ever. And remind me, too, that I’m a little older now and not nearly as energetic as I once was, so I may want to actually take the day prior to my next trip off work. Just to have the […]
Okay, okay. I know an entire post about drinks around the world might project otherwise… but the #AdventurePartnerForLife and I are not alcoholics. I promise. We just work really hard at our day jobs, and we happen to play equally hard. We typically depart from our trips after working full days. And then there’s tying […]
One of my biggest Global Debauchery fans is my “little” cousin, who’s actually going to be 21 this summer. She’s done a fair bit of traveling with her family growing up, but recently embarked on her first solo international trip to Amsterdam and Berlin. She had some difficulty forming her itinerary and requested that I […]
At 282 feet below sea level, Badwater Basin in Death Valley National Park is the lowest point in the United States. Oddly enough, the highest point in the continental United States, Mount Whitney, is only 85 miles north. The basin’s salt flats cover almost 200 square miles. And make up some of the largest protected […]
