Travel. Life. Silliness.
“Lancha! Lancha!” (Boat! Boat!) I already knew I wanted to take a boat tour of Valparaiso, Chile, which is why I was making my way towards the docks at Muelle Prat (Prat Pier). I’d barely set foot at the waterfront – I wasn’t anywhere close to the actual pier yet – when I was bombarded….
“Hola-po, Don Sergio!” (Hi, Mr. Sergio!) Though I had a sneaking feeling I was being had, I was told those words were all I had to say to get one of the most decadent treats I’ve probably ever eaten. Let me rephrase that…those words were all I had to yell. But hey, I was more…
Key West, baby! We’d finally made it to the bottom of the 120-mile string of islands that make up the Florida Keys. After wildlife encounters in Fort Lauderdale, Key Largo, and Islamorada, we were excited to see what Key West had to offer. So… do feral animals count as wildlife?? Bear with me, trying to…
We reluctantly said goodbye to our Key Largo manatee before driving on to the next stop on our Florida Keys roadtrip… Islamorada, baby! Once again, no set plans to do anything, we were just gonna figure it out as we went. This trip was all about casual discovery, not set schedules. As Corrie and I crossed…
On a recent trip to New Orleans to visit my cousin (who I can’t keep up with to save my life when it comes to drinking), she actually took me somewhere other than a bar! To clarify, that doesn’t mean we didn’t go to any bars, it just means we took a short detour between…
Remember the old college adage “Save Water, Drink Beer”? What, that wasn’t a thing? Hmmmmmmmm… In any case, the folks at Allagash Brewery take the phrase to a whole new level. These guys have sustainability down pat. From sending spent grain to local farmers for use in cattle feed, to treating their own water before…
Coincidentally, I’ve had several conversations about South Dakota in just the last couple days. Both the Badlands and Mount Rushmore have come up in conversations with different friends, so, of course, I took the opportunity to brag about the kick-ass, up-close-and-personal wildlife encounters I had at both! And since today is the UN’s 5th annual…
In preparation for our move to Norfolk, VA, for Steev’s newest military orders, I made a couple visits to do some house-hunting. I was alone in this adventure, as said husband was on an aircraft carrier making his way around South America. Oh, the pending rendezvous…it was gonna be sweet! But I digress… On my…
Is it lame that one of my favorite weekly activities is going to the farmer’s market? I feel like, as a single gal in my early(ish) 30s, I should use my Saturday mornings for sleeping in, recovering from the previous night on the prowl. But alas, instead I’m up early, walking roughly a mile through…
Thanks for playing! Come back soon for more tales of travel (mis)adventure with a little dose of silliness!
