October 9, 2022 My day started very early this morning, my alarm was set for 330, but I woke up at 3am, so excited to go see my Packers in London! Lauren was not as excited about my early departure, but thankfully I think I was able to be quiet enough to keep her sleeping. ... Continue Reading →

The most beautiful gem
Friday, August 16 I slept in today because I was so exhausted from yesterday. Its crazy how traveling can where you out – even though I am just sitting there on a train watching my tablet. I need to get better at wearing my blue light glasses, because it really does help. The cleaning lady... Continue Reading →

Show me the way OUT of San Jose
Thursday, August 8 – Friday, August 9 I worked today before my 8pm flight – but didn’t walk enough and when you are going to be stuck on a plane for 10+ hours, getting in your steps becomes very important. So after my very slow (not just because of traffic, but because my driver really... Continue Reading →
Don’t Juneau? July 4, 2019
It's the 4th of July and another town to visit - but first a scenic cruise through the Tracy Arm. I had talked to the boat guide before today and she had recommended getting up early to go sit on the deck and watch for wildlife. I was up at 6am and out by 620... Continue Reading →
