Checking in…
So starting a travel blog shortly before a global pandemic was probably not my best idea but if we had crystal balls and could see into the future we’d do a lot of things differently… that being said I figured it was time for me to start posting again… To everyone who has read/visited my …
Life under COVID, changing perspectives…
So I’ve been super quiet the last few months because it seems wierd to write about travel with everything that’s been going on. As most of you know the name for this page comes from the fact that my usual travel party consists of some combination of myself, my husband, our 3 year old and …
