San Francisco Road Trip – Coming From Burning Man

I can, without a shadow of a doubt, say that I left my heart in San Francisco. Our San Francisco road trip part of our trip really caught me off guard. What can I say? I fell in love.

Preliminary Planning

So I’ve been slacking. While I really should be researching and planning stuff or our extended trip, I sit here getting giddy for Burning Man. I think mainly because our road trip starts in 82 days and we’re still not exactly sure when we’re leaving for Central/South America. I got so excited over our planning… Continue reading Preliminary Planning

A Case of the Doubts

It came out of nowhere and bit me like a 24 hour stomach bug. Last night I had a raging case of the DOUBTS. Nothing serious. I’m okay. It all passed beautifully. But we all go through it. Everything was fine when I got home from work. I went to the gym (we’re starting endurance… Continue reading A Case of the Doubts

Change is Never Easy

A somewhat new development in our journeys has occurred. And as you know, change is never easy. To be as vague as possible (while providing details, of course!), our current place of employment has officially created two shells of people. While this can, and has been, a source of grief and general dissatisfaction with our… Continue reading Change is Never Easy
