• This is happening!

    If you know me at all, you probably know how much I love to travel and I’ve probably told you about my dream to live abroad.  For years I have been standing on the edge of a diving board, too afraid to jump in but too stubborn to turn around and walk back.

  • Europe is exhausting, eh?

    Day 5 in Munich is getting off to a slow start. It’s been a wonderful meandering experience with very few firm plans other than nightly drinking with a great group of folks of all ages and origins brought together under a common love of travel, fun, and our gracious host, Bill Laughlin.
