A Sharm el Sheikh Dive Resort

Most US folk have never heard of this far off beachy town on the southeastern tip of the Sinai Peninsula. But if your an avid traveler, it is an awesome trip add-on when visiting the Middle East. Prior to my 15th GAdventures group adventure setting off from Cairo, I had planned 5 full days relaxingContinue reading “A Sharm el Sheikh Dive Resort”

White cliffs of Oia, Santorini

There is always a rainbow after the rain☔️ 🌈 From high above the sapphire blue waters, the ritzy town of Oia (pronounced ea) on the island of Santorini is larger than life. Boutique cave hotels all painted white monopolize the towering cliff tops with a never ending labyrinth of alleyways to purposefully get lost in.Continue reading “White cliffs of Oia, Santorini”

Nashville adventure

Our girls trip to Music City was the perfect long weekend escape. With a direct 2 hour flight, we left after work and arrived ready to explore the downtown nightlife with dinner/drinks. Our Airbnb was small but central, so we did all the touristy things. The scooters were addictive and the best way to seeContinue reading “Nashville adventure”

Cadillac Mountain epic sunrise

I couldn’t have written out this story any better. For once, I took the scenic route and chose the slow Amtrak train from my previous adventure in Minneapolis to my next hub in Boston. It was rather uneventful, so when I jumped off the tracks at it’s last stop at 9:30pm after 2 full days,Continue reading “Cadillac Mountain epic sunrise”

Accident Prone Adventurer

My retort is always “why not? You only live once and if you do it right, once should beContinue reading “Accident Prone Adventurer”

Train trek MN to Boston

Have you ever wanted to escape on a scenic train trek? I had the opportunity on a recent northern roadtrip to combine seeing 5 northern states and 3 far northeastern states to get closer to finishing out my bucket list item of experiencing all 50 US states prior to my 50th birthday. After conquering theContinue reading “Train trek MN to Boston”

Buffalo Lake Dayzz

Oh how I loved my summer days lounging on the shores of Lake Eerie. Flying into the small airport in Buffalo then hitting the casino before arriving at a waterfront cottage for a week of quiet bliss. A couple years we even make it to gawk at the ever impressive Niagara Falls, a must see.Continue reading “Buffalo Lake Dayzz”
