Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor, Your Travel-Weary
It’s been awhile since we’ve posted about the less glorious side of travel. As of today, we’ve been on the road for 151 days. Every new location comes with a bit of anxiety as we adjust to a new “home”. Each new place requires research and exploration to understand what sites we want to see,…

City of Big shoulders, Windy City, 2nd City, Chi-town…. whatever you wanna call it, it’s a fabulous place to visit!
When we talk about this trip folks say things like “You HAVE to go to…”, or “I loved……. and you don’t want to miss it!” and other proclamations about places to travel. We diligently write them down knowing that everyone can’t love the same place, so maybe we’ll like it but maybe we won’t necessarily…

Get Out the Map
Day 1 – 3: Flaming Gorge, Utah The Indigo Girls’ “Get Out the Map” was the first song to play on the 7.5 hour custom curated playlist from one of our best friends. Finessa is very specific about her playlists: the songs are thoughtfully aggregated and ordered to convey specific emotions or a story line. …

You wanna go where? For how long?! Okay……
We started thinking about long-term travel one cold winter afternoon, or maybe one hot July evening sitting with a bottle of wine on the front porch or…….maybe that one time when we went to breakfast at Javier & C’s (now just Javier’s)? Truthfully, we think we started by talking about taking the summer off…which then…
