As I sit here, staring at my computer, I can’t bring myself to write about hiking in Zion National Park. I don’t really feel like editing my photos of the strikingly beautiful landscape in Light Room, either. My heart is just not in it. The only thing I can focus on right now is life: […]
Zion is one of those iconic American national parks. According to National Geographic, it’s one of the ten most visited national parks in the U.S. It’s also the oldest and most popular (most visited) park in Utah. We decided that we needed at least two nights there. I wouldn’t recommend any less. We wanted to do […]
When we headed to Utah for Veteran’s Day, we had a very loose-and-fast plan. Other than booking our flights and hotel rooms in advance (and the car rental two days prior to take-off), we had a laid-back, flexible approach to our trip. This turned out to be a really good thing. At first, Alan was […]
Finishing up the Ireland road trip series, the last stop on our itinerary was The Ring of Kerry, with an overnight in the darling town of Kenmare. Kenmare - the jewel of the Ring of Kerry Ireland is one long scenic drive, and the infamous Ring of Kerry is the most prized portion of that drive. Creating […]
Today’s guest post is by friend and fellow travel blogger, Lance Wiedower, of Trips by Lance. What’s the best way to explore a city that is one part Native American, one part Mexican, another part American, and a touch of hippie thrown in? Dive right in and explore the unique culture that makes up Santa Fe, N.M. Santa […]
Veteran’s Day is a completely over-looked, underrated American holiday. Some celebrate our veterans with pride and fervor, while many others just let the day pass them by with no more than a shrug of acknowledgement. As it’s a U.S. federal holiday, some may enjoy a day off work, but most do not. Much like Memorial […]
Killarney National Park is the gateway to the Ring of Kerry. Having the advantage of super-naturally long summer days, we were able to explore both the Dingle Peninsula and Killarney National Park, starting our Ring of Kerry experience, all in one day (with daylight to spare!). Muckross Estate Upon arrival, we spent some time ogling […]
Part of me thinks a blogiversary is a silly thing to celebrate or even mention. The word just sounds silly, doesn’t it? Sure, it’s a milestone. Maybe it is worth a mention. A year ago today, I published my first post. I didn’t really know where it would lead, but in a year, I’ve traveled […]
Happy Halloween! Today is one of my favorite days of the year, and it ties for second favorite “holiday” (while not a technical -i.e. government- holiday, I consider any day that involves costumes, parties and candy worthy of the title). A great (Irish) cultural tradition Interestingly, Halloween’s origins are Irish. How perfect is this interlude to […]
National Geographic once touted the Dingle Peninsula as the most beautiful place on earth… and it was voted one of the top 100 destinations in the world on Trip Advisor. The western-most point in Europe, the Dingle Peninsula juts, fierce and rugged, into the Atlantic. I believe the saying goes something like, “next Parrish, America.” (Get […]
