One green slope after another and you will be happy to know I was getting closer and closer to nature. By closer I mean I was consistently falling face first into the freshly fallen snow. Face plants going 25 mph downhill aren’t always graceful or painless. As much as I love being outdoors and enjoying the fresh mountain air, my connection with nature was off. The harder I tried to perfect my snowboarding the harder the snow fell and the less visibility I had.

Interview with a PADI Scuba Instructor
Fanny was our open water instructor while we were at Oceans 5 in Gili Air, Indonesia. She was kind enough to sit down with us and answer a few questions about scuba diving and the Gili Islands.

Do Just One Thing Per Day
When traveling through new places it is very easy to get caught up in the seeing and doing and forget about the enjoying. It’s important not to miss the “just being” part of travel. I am not saying do AT LEAST one thing a day – I am suggesting doing ONLY one thing a day. […]
You Are Sitting in a Chair…in the Sky!!
Every time I am in the airport I am reminded of the hilarious time that Louis CK was on Conan. If you don’t want to listen to the whole thing at least fast forward to minute 2 where he talks about technology and airplanes… LOVE it! What youtube video makes you laugh.. travel related or […]
Ultimate Guide to Flying with a Newborn
Lottie, Josh and I packed our bags (still carry-on only) and headed out on our first flight with a newborn (Lottie was 3 months).

Use a Travel Clinic You can get some good information from your normal doctor and the internet, but nothing beats a visit to a specialized travel clinic. The nurses there are specially trained and experienced with the vaccination requirements of each […]
My PCB Bucket List
We just returned from Florida on Lottie’s first beach trip. We drove from Indianapolis to a city outside of Miami, we covered over 2,800 miles and stopped every two to three hours for our two month old to eat and wiggle…and poop 🙂 This vacation was meant for relaxing. We walked from the house we […]
For the Anxious Traveler
I came across this post on Seth Godin’s Blog that is written for the anxious traveler. Just like any skill, the more you practice something the better you become and more comfortable you are. With that, the more you travel, the better and more efficient you are. I love the article Seth writes because he doesn’t […]
When Travelers Have Babies
These travelers just had a baby! And not just any baby – but the cutest, sweetest, strongest and poopiest baby around. We’re biased. 🙂 This blog won’t become all baby all the time… but it will become much more focused on family travel. We have a new jetsetter with us now and can’t wait to […]
A Crazy House in Dalat, Vietnam
Before showing up in Dalat we didn’t know what to expect, it was another stop on our trip north in Vietnam. We were surprised to step into a city unlike the others we had seen in the country so far. One that reminded us of the French Alps, with an almost European flair. You could […]
