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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]

A Quick Itinerary of Our Long Weekend in Copenhagen & Stockholm The #AdventurePartnerForLife and I flew out on a Wednesday evening and arrived in Copenhagen Thursday morning. We had the remainder of Thursday, and all of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday […]
For some unknown reason, I’ve harbored an intense, multi-decade fascination with Iceland. Perhaps because we considered moving there instead of Belgium when I was seven years old and I was always curious about the place we didn’t move to. When […]
You’ve hiked hundreds of stairs in winding alleyways and find a wooden sign that reads, COLD DRINKS. You’ve officially arrived at Cafe Buza.
Pancake Rocks and Mangarakau Wetland Swamp We spent the morning driving along some pretty spectacular New Zealand cliffs. Saw steam lifting off the Tasman Sea oceanfront, which I haven’t seen before. Tried to get it on video, but failed miserably. […]
Attack of the Mountain Parrots in Fiordland National Park Woke up before dawn to beat the crowds through Fiordland National Park to Milford Sound. This was going to be one of the highlights of our New Zealand road trip. Am […]
The Rotorua Circuit Woke up extra early to discover an Auckland Starbucks a block away (woo hoo!)… that doesn’t open nearly as early as American Starbucks do (wah). All the hotel rooms carry is tea, so this was a nice […]
