Categories Uncategorized

K and I are currently in South America taking Spanish lessons for “fun”. We’ve been on the road for about a year, and since I’ve been lazy about writing, I thought it would be fun to at least write about some highlights and lowlights of the last year.

Alaska: Part 2

Categories Uncategorized

After Denali, our itinerary was simple. Go visit an ice cave at Matanuska (Mat-Su) Glacier, then hop on a last minute cruise from Seward, AK to Vancouver, Canada. I managed to find a killer deal for a last minute cruise, which was perfect since we only bought a one way plane ticket to Alaska. The…Continue Reading “Alaska: Part 2” →

Alaska: Part 1

Categories Uncategorized

On a whim, K and I decided to visit Alaska for about 3 weeks last year. We were hanging out in Montana and the smoke from the wildfires was getting ridiculous. I found some cheap one way tickets and a “reasonable” (for Alaska) car rental, and off we went. We spent the first part in…Continue Reading “Alaska: Part 1” →

I’ve wanted to write about this trip for awhile, and haven’t had time to sit down and organize my thoughts. Well, I broke my ankle and now I’m on a forced break (pun entirely intended), so here we are!

Lazy Photo Journey of Canmore & Banff & Jasper

Categories Outdoors, Travel

Late September K and I drove up to Canmore, AB after visiting Glacier National Park in Montana (also stunning). We got quite lucky with the weather where we got to see the fall foliage, and then it snowed almost a foot on our last day. It made for some beautiful snowy scenery. This post will…Continue Reading “Lazy Photo Journey of Canmore & Banff & Jasper” →

Extenuating circumstances policies

Categories Travel

We recently had the “pleasure” to test United Airlines and Airbnb’s extenuating circumstances policies. I was quite surprised by the outcome that I feel like I should write about this! Background: We recently visited a close family member who ended up having to go to the hospital with a potentially life threatening injury, and we…Continue Reading “Extenuating circumstances policies” →

Mostly Southern Spain Road Trip

My parents have always wanted to visit Seville and Granada, they nagged and nagged me for years to plan a trip with them to go. Honestly if it wasn’t for them I don’t think we would have gone, but it was much more interesting than I expected!  (I say this a lot…) I was fairly…Continue Reading “Mostly Southern Spain Road Trip” →

Cross country skiing to Maroon Bells

Categories Outdoors, Travel

Ever since visiting Maroon Bells in the fall, we’ve talked about coming back up in the winter to see what it looks like covered in snow. Maroon Bells in the Fall (Disclaimer: I heavily edited this photo for fun) We’ve heard the road to Maroon Bells (Maroon Creek Road – CR 13) is groomed in…Continue Reading “Cross country skiing to Maroon Bells” →

It has been a busy winter with a lot of visitors and random social events, and this blog thing is totally getting neglected. I’ve been challenged to write something, so here I am. Since I’m missing Asia lately, I decided to go through my Japan food photos from our last Asia trip. Enjoy the food…Continue Reading “Tokyo food (Oct 2017 trip)” →
