I always ask the #AdventureParternForLife if he has any “special requests” for a new itinerary I’m crafting. Aside from him wanting to officially visit all fifty states, this trip, it was to visit Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. (Locally known as “the UP,” and where the “Yoopers” hail from.) “I have to see the UP. I have […]
What does one do when they’re trapped in their own country indefinitely? Go explore it, of course. (Safely. Legally.) After four cancelled trips and a few months in strict quarantine, things were starting to look up (and they were, at the time). Our home base—DC Metro—had just started reopening after being the United States’ official […]
When my husband said he wanted to visit all fifty states, I was one thousand percent on board. So, I sat down and started my usual Googling to plan an epic Midwest road trip. Before long, I discovered the charming and vibrant city of Bayfield, Wisconsin, a sparkling little gem on Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands National […]
When I started researching places to visit in Wisconsin for a Midwest road trip, I had no idea I’d fall in love. But that’s exactly what happened when I discovered the Apostle Islands off Wisconsin’s Lake Superior shoreline. And, apparently, I’m not the only one. Captain Paul Bratti of Animaashi Sailing Company did, too. Almost […]
Throughout my travels, you’ve all heard me refer to my Adventure Partner for Life. Well, he’s finally written his very first Global Debauchery blog! Read on for The Hubs’ tale of a work-trip-turned-mini-tour with “48 Hours in New York City.” For more ideas on how to make the ordinary extraordinary, visit any of my Travel […]
“What’s your favorite place?” A common and seemingly benign question for frequent travelers. I can’t speak for other travelers, obviously. Maybe they have that one place that makes their heart swoon; their happy place, where the stars align and they could give up everything and retire there yesterday. My answer is not so straightforward. …”It’s […]
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 […]
