It seems every year around this time, I put up a similar post: Goals for the upcoming year. Why should this one be any different?? Trips for 2019: Washington, D.C. Cape Cod A trip on the Danube River Other “travel” goals for 2019: Knock off 10 new local museums Go to the Falconry place Hug a penguin in CT Eat a pretzel in Munich’s Beer Garden again. Climb to the top of Bennington Monument in VT Maybe find my way…
A few people have been posting about the new travel challenge to #Take12Trips in 2016. As I am currently down with a wicked cold or mild flu, this is the perfect time to distract myself with our future plans for the year 🙂 Unfortunately, we aren’t able to take a trip each month due to the fact that our work schedules are so hard to sync. I work Sunday through Thursday, Eric has a “regular” work schedule something I haven’t…
What a year it has been! Between the record snows of February curtailing almost ANY travel, even to the grocery store, to my first attempt at a ropes course and chasing fall foliage throughout New England, it was a great year. It saw us attempt (and successfully complete) our first ever 2 country trip (with plans to go back!!) and use our local beaches on an almost weekly basis. 2015 was pretty darn great. 2016, though, should be amazing….

Unable to bike ride for very long (and lacking a bike) and not really interested in doing a marathon, I found a different type of charity activity: hiking! First called “Hike for Discovery” and then a few…
Sitting at the table the other day, we were talking about travel plans for 2016. Though we have a lot of different ideas, one thing that we agreed upon was going hiking again. A long time ago, we were trying to complete the 4,000 footer list for the White Mountains. About 18 mountains (out of 48 total) in, we lost some steam. Having to drive 3 hours each way for some of the peaks was starting to get tiring and…
Lately, I’ve been feeling rather stuck. I’m not sure if it is the massive snow piles that just won’t go away, the monotony of my job during the winter where a lot of things are closed, or something else. Â This has been an incredibly difficult winter. Days like this make me yearn for last August and our trip to Hawaii…it was incredibly strange and fun. Where else can you take a photo with a wooden statue of Fidel Castro or…
