Once we were joined by Jon’s parents, our entourage was complete and we were ready to tackle Barcelona’s most famous and grand sights. We were also lucky to have our parents with us to experience the vibrant neighborhoods and delicious food of Barcelona.
Bangkok is one of the largest business centers in Southeast Asia. The city is a huge, bustling metropolis filled with luxury malls and skyscrapers. However, Bangkok retains its character with food carts, street markets, and red roofed temples scattered throughout the city. We’ve been lucky enough to know several people living in Bangkok and have…
It’s finally time to start taking about our around the world travels (RTW). Before we get to the good stuff, here is some information regarding our experiences traveling to southeast Asia to start the trip. We flew out of Dulles International Airport in Washington, DC at 8:30pm on Saturday night on Qatar Airways. We did…
Retro Trip Post: This is article 2 of 3 articles reflecting on our first trip to Thailand taken in 2011. After visiting Koh Samui to celebrate the marriage of two of our friends, we were invited to join them as they traveled to Chiang Mai in northern Thailand. Chiang Mai was our favorite part of…
Our 4 month road trip across the contiguous United States was very much driven by a desire to experience national parks. We have previously written about our favorite parks and our favorite hikes within those parks. However, we were also lucky enough to experience a multitude of American culture ranging from large metropolitans to small…

Then we plotted these locations on our own custom map using Google. We also created a calendar with a basic timeline of when…
Our short time in North Carolina was about one thing; visiting family. Instead of our normal sight seeing and city dining, Jon and I enjoyed a little relaxation and a lot of great home cooking and conversation. Days 121 – 123 December 1 – December 3, 2014 Mileage 15455 – 15880 We bypassed most of the…
For us, Charleston was only a quick stop; however, we got to experience the beautiful southern charm of the city and some absolutely delicious soul food. Days 120 – 121 November 30 – December 1, 2014 Mileage 15170 – 15455 Jon and I arrived in Charleston after sunset on Sunday evening. Using Trip Adviser and Yelp,…
Jon and I realized we’d be in Florida where my sister lives for Thanksgiving. We talked with my parents and soon had a beach condo rented in Crescent Beach outside of St. Augustine where the family would meet for the holiday. Days 116 – 120 November 26 – November 30, 2014 Mileage 14770 – 15170 Jon…
Even though we drove to the most southern point of Florida, Key West felt more like a weekend getaway than part of our extended road trip. Day 112 – 114 November 22 – November 24, 2014 Miles 14421 – 14591 Key West was approximately three hours away from Miami. We made the drive only stopping…
