I’m Ba-aack! (Plus, the Key Largo Stone Crab and Seafood Festival)

Whoa, Nelly! There hasn’t been a post on this site in 2 months. That’s 60 days, you guys! I wish I had an exciting — or heck, hair-raising — tale to tell about my absence, but, truth is, I’ve just been busy working, and living and loving life in the […]

Coral Castle: A Tale of a Small Man With Big Tools … and a Freaky Attachment to a Teenage Girl

Local’s Miami Beach: North Beach > South Beach

Don’t be fooled, you would-be traveler to Miami Beach! South Beach might be the tourist epicenter of Miami Beach, but it is most certainly, NOT where it’s at. Head a few miles to North Beach — a blissful world away from South Beach’s madness.

Watch out world, here we come!

When Gulls Cry (Or a trip to Cape May with Momala)

In fairness, no one could have seen the seagull coming. Then my mom let out a screech that could put the Wicked Witch of the West to shame.

Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park

Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park

When given the chance to travel to Colorado and visit Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park, I straightened my imaginary cowgirl hat and said, “Westward, ho!”

Take a gander at my top Denver picks from my recent trip, and let me know what I need to see and do next time!

Goodnight, New York City: A Gotham Wrap-Up

Goodnight, New York City: A Gotham Wrap-Up

I’ve happily moved on to the next chapter — Miami — but never said a proper fare-thee-well to the previous, New York City. When I arrived in June, with worldly goods packed and ready to re-immerse myself in the city that had left me in such turmoil a few short […]
