10 for Tuesday: Things Australians Have that Americans Don’t

1.) They have Kangaroos and eat them! That’s right.  Australia is the only disturbed country that eats its own national emblem.  Although you will find different types of kangaroos in zoos around the world, they are only wild in Australia.  They also make great ‘Roo Burgers apparently. 2.) Tim Tans – You can find Tim … Continue reading »

Random Tidbits You Might Not Know About Oz, The Land Down Under

There will be many upcoming Australia posts since I didn’t get a chance to update the blog during my month stay there.  To get prepared for the upcoming blasts, I thought I’d go over some random facts about Australia that some people may or may not know.  I realize that most of these things are … Continue reading »

Last Minute Lodging – Grand Canyon South Rim

Planning on a trip to the Grand Canyon?  Book your hotel months – or up to a year – in advance…OR be like us and call the night before hoping for a cancellation.  Sure enough, there was a cancellation for a room with a window view overlooking the canyon!  We stayed one night at the … Continue reading »

The Time We Traveled Back in Time and Found the Indiana Jones within: Carlsbad Caverns

We traveled back in time! Okay… so technically there was no lightning or Michael J. Fox, but we did!  Sorta. Following our night in Fort Stockton, we woke up early and headed toward New Mexico. As a back story, there is one thing Richard has always wanted to do.  While I have always wanted to … Continue reading »

I Flipped My Board Down an Active Volcano – Cerro Negro

It’s been quite awhile since our last post, so we’re going to try and catch up on our Nicaragua writings!  In our last post, we reviewed our time in Leon (aka Granada’s Ugly Stepsister). Leon has tons more to offer outside its city center than what we got to see, including some nearby beaches that … Continue reading »

I Learned My Geography from Musicals – Santa Fe, New Mexico

I Learned My Geography from Musicals – Santa Fe, New Mexico

In elementary school, my music teacher was amazing and taught us the 7 continents song AND the 50 states song.  I felt fully prepared for junior high.  I learned all my states in alphabetical order because of her.  It sounds lame…and I suppose it is, but not everyone can do it! Those M’s get tricky.  … Continue reading »

Weird Whereabouts: Alien Sighting in Roswell, New Mexico

Weird Whereabouts: Alien Sighting in Roswell, New Mexico

The first time I ever heard about Roswell was in 1999 when the – now defunct – WB aired a new alien show called Roswell starring Jason Behr (aka that guy I recognized from a short story arc on Dawson’s Creek) and  Shiri Appleby (the Katie Holmes-like beauty). Since it was on our way from … Continue reading »

24 Random Acts of Kindness for My 24th Birthday!

24 Random Acts of Kindness for My 24th Birthday!

Every year, Richard asks me what I want for my birthday.  He hates getting me impractical things, and he rather get me something I would use or need.  Sometimes he surprises me with a gift he heard me mention I wanted earlier in the year, sometimes I tell him exactly what I want, but this … Continue reading »

10 for Tuesday: Things I Will Miss About Houston

10 for Tuesday: Things I Will Miss About Houston

We had planned to be in Houston another couple of years, but Richard’s MBA opportunity at CSULB was reason enough to move back a few years earlier than planned.  As happy as I am to move back home to be near family, there are definitely plenty of things I will miss about Houston.  Here are … Continue reading »

A Town Horror Films are Made for: Fort Stockton, Texas

A Town Horror Films are Made for: Fort Stockton, Texas

The makings were there for the beginning of a horror film, tons of Texas Chainsaw Massacre capabilities.  A couple goes on a road trip, leaving their 1st home in Houston, and they pass the beautiful San Antonio.  As they head across the desert, they see absolute nothing for hours.  Tired of driving, they decide to … Continue reading »

Italy Infogasm: A Guide to the 5 Towns of Cinque Terre

Italy Infogasm: A Guide to the 5 Towns of Cinque Terre

I have some friends and family heading to Italy this summer – including D from HeartFelt Embellishments -  and I always promote at least a day in Cinque Terre so I thought I’d share a guide through the towns. To beat the tourist rush, particularly in summer, start the hike as early as you can.  … Continue reading »
