Decades ago, back when the Internet was something new and exciting, I was slowly crawling through various pages as fast as those Dial-Up Speeds would allow me when I found a site called Notes From The Road hosted by a fellow explorer named Erik Gauger. What I found fascinated me and kept me checking back […]

How To Be A Better Explorer
These 13 tips are not my own writings. I saw this on a poster and it hit very close to home. They all seem to be somewhat of a standard Cindy and I have always tried to live by while on the road and traveling. If you follow them, they allow you to see deeper […]
Random Awakening
So many times we go through life complaining and griping about things that are so petty. Luckily for me, Cindy is a pretty steady ship and can keep me grounded and humble on many occasions when I complain or forget how lucky I really am. Yesterday afternoon, I was smacked in the face with a […]
Do You Travel, Or Prefer to be Traveled
The Oxford Dictionary defines Travel as this: to make a journey, typically of some length or abroad There are many ways to travel, and many ways to be traveled. What is the difference you ask?

Manta Rays on St. Pete Beach
Cindy and I were drinking our coffee on the white sand beach this morning as the sun came up. We sat listening to the gentle slap of the waves along the shoreline as we sipped on Columbia’s finest with each sip waking us up just a little bit more. This should be the way each […]

We’ve been together for many more years than that, but only 16 of them were recognized by that little certificate claiming we were actually married. We tried to take a few days off, and do something that just involved the two of us since […]

Central Florida is the most lightning prone area in the United States with about 90 thunderstorm days a year. […]
Louisiana Vacation
We’d only been back from Minnesota long enough to catch up on emails, get our business caught up at the Low-Key Hideaway and get our clothes washed before we were leaving for Louisiana. I don’t know if you’d call this one a vacation since we’d be babysitting the entire time. Seeing the Grandkids and getting […]
