It felt so normal to be back on an airplane! I cannot remember the last time so many months passed since I was last on a Southwest flight. Knowing that they were only selling 2/3 of the airplane and we didn’t have to deal with anyone in the middle seat was a treat. Airport security... Continue Reading →
I am beat, exhausted, tired, spent, and ready for some real rest. I slept like a rock last night, I took a sleepy pill my doctor gave me for travel and in 5 minutes flat I was out cold. So much so that I fell asleep in the middle of trying to post yesterday’s blog... Continue Reading →
I’m not sure the proper words to describe today. It’s not been as great as it could be. I did sleep wonderful last night. My AirBnB may have been a bit tired in and of itself but between the sound of the waves crashing ashore and my magical sleep aids I was zonked out. When... Continue Reading →
I slept over 8 hours last night. I don't remember the last time I've slept a SOLID 8 hours. It was amazing. I probably could have slept longer but I had to get my butt moving. After getting a quick bite to eat and a cup of tea at an "ehh" place I was back... Continue Reading →

It all started with a text from my pet sitter – well, the wheels were put into motion before I guess – as I was heading home from my business trip of the week letting me know that “one of the big branches split and fell” on my plum tree. She promised to send pictures... Continue Reading →
I've done a lot of nice things for myself. Let's be honest. Luxury cars in my garage, designer labels in my closet, a nice home, jewelry, I don't shy from treating myself. But this trip is the best thing I've ever done for myself. New Zealand tested me. And in the end, it helped me... Continue Reading →
I consider myself a pretty damn good packer. And I have also learned to love and embrace carry-on packing instead of checking a larger bag. What a nightmare it would be to get to another country and not have my luggage there! Since I travel so often for work, I have "go-bags" ready with all... Continue Reading →
I'm going to warn you right now. This is going to be a rambling post and probably all over the place. There were a number of random thoughts/experiences I noted to write about that never made it into my other posts. This will probably also end up including more memories and notes of my travels...
