“Far Side of the World” by Jimmy Buffett played on my iPod and I realized, it captured the essence of why I love to travel and why I started this website and blog. I love to travel: drive, fly, cruise, walk…whatever. If I can travel, I am happy. I will travel for work, for fun, for personal reasons, and just because. There is nothing better … Continue reading Far Side of the World
One island…two visits…Key West 2012. Yes, I am beyond excited! You can read all previous Key West posts and maybe understand, how much I love this island.

Tuesday…in the car. Suzanne & I hit the road around 5:15 and of course hit that lovely Tues rush hour traffic that only 77 can provide. Not to be put off by the traffic, we roll the windows down and put in one of Jordan’s CD mixes. Somewhere on 26, we hit light rain but sing and laugh our way through. On 95, more rain … Continue reading Key West…a Recap

This isn’t going to be a huge post on the Asheville Road Trip Fun. It was so much fun that you really had to be there to understand everything. Having said that, there is something to be said about Downtown Asheville. They move at a pace that isn’t rushed and enjoy the time they have. The last time I stayed in Asheville, I stayed in … Continue reading Asheville, NC
Australia…I have daydreamed of going there for years and when I say years, I mean years. Not like one or two but more like ten plus years. Everyone has a place they want to visit or places they want to visit. When I was 16, it was Key West and then I thought maybe I’d like to move to San Francisco because I so loved … Continue reading Australia
The trip to Charleston swung into action the moment I saw that The Constellations were opening up for Minus the Bear at the Music Farm. Joining me for the show would be Suzanne & Krissie. I called in a favor and scored us tickets to the show and then found a room near the venue that wasn’t sky high since it was Memorial Day Weekend. … Continue reading Charleston Fun
While listening to “Blue Skies Again” by Jessica Lea Mayfield this morning, I found myself connecting with the lyrics “this heart of mine is ready for spring.” In my previous post My Wanderlusting Soul, I talked about the desire and need to travel. Listening to this song, I realized how I need sunshine and a sandy beach. I want to put my toes in the … Continue reading This Heart of Mine Is Ready for Spring
