Upon arrival in Vancouver, we made a big mistake and decided to get an Uber to our hotel…we should have taken one of the many taxis that were waiting at the cruise port, in a covered area. It was POURING rain and we had to walk a few minutes...
Around 2:30pm on Saturday, May 30th, we arrived in the very small town of Whittier and saw the Discovery Princess ship waiting for us at the port. There are only about 270 residents in Whittier, and nearly all of them live in one 14-story building which also houses the...
The planning and research for our Alaska Adventure started about two years ago, when we decided this would be our 30th wedding anniversary celebration trip, and we knew that it wouldn’t be an RV trip given the distance just to drive to Alaska. The cruise dates and itinerary were...
On Wednesday Feb 11th, we had a VERY short drive to our next hotel near Disneyland. We could have just stayed in Redondo Beach and commuted, but we decided to move a bit closer and avoid potential traffic and longer days. We arrived early and headed to Downtown Disney...
We arrived in San Diego Saturday afternoon and headed to our Airbnb in the University Heights neighborhood. For this three-week trip, we wanted to be able to cook and eat in as much as possible because eating out for three weeks is not at all appealing, so we’re staying...

We arrived in Albuquerque Tuesday afternoon. The scenery as we drove South from Raton was really beautiful, and the area along I-25 was dotted with lots of large yellow bushes. I looked it up and it’s called Chamisa, or “Rubber Rabbitbrush”…say that 10 times fast! ABQ is a busy...
We’re not in Kansas anymore! On Tuesday, we continued our journey West, crossing into Colorado and then heading Southwest to Colorado Springs. I’ve only spent a little time in Denver, and have always been so fascinated by the beauty of Colorado, so we’ll actually be spending four whole days...
We are on the road again…and have spent most of the past nine days literally on the road, driving to Western Kansas where we are currently. Of course, we can’t just drive day after day, so we did make some stops along the way and see some sights! We...
We had a fairly short drive from Lebanon to Logan on Tuesday June 24th, so we made a stop on the way at Ohio’s only UNESCO World Heritage Site, Hopewell Culture National Historical Park in Chillicothe, OH. There are several locations within this National Park Service site, each preserving...
