The Big Trip #1
Week One: April in Paris We arrived at our hostel in Paris on April 3rd, exhausted after a long flight from Seattle and a frantic week of packing, moving, cleaning, more packing and a lot of goodbyes. The location was perfect – in the heart of the Latin Quarter, the hostel was close to the
Geisha Fantasies (2 of 2)
Slowly and watchfully walking down the street, I thought I caught a glimpse of a geisha in the corner of my eye. Was this my imagination? I ran ahead for half a block, set up my camera and composed myself. False alarm.

I Wanna Be a Travel Writer – Feb. 13, Grandma to Groover
Feb. 13 – Grandma to Groover Almost three years ago I went to see the doctor about some shortness of breath, lightheadedness, and stomach pains. She said I had pre-30s anxiety and not to worry about it. I went home laughing. I was only 27; I wouldn’t turn 30 for three more years!

When I first wake up I’m an idiot. For 45 minutes or so I can’t comprehend the most basic concepts, can’t carry on a decent conversation, mess up

Travels without a Plan #10
Melbourne Mumblings After all the excitement of the opening weekend of the Olympics, to say that arriving in Melbourne was a bit of a shock to the system would be an understatement. It also did not help that for the day before I was feeling like death warmed up, I think with a 48 hour

Immediately, we came across a small glacial pond. It was unbelievable that we had never come across it before. We all skinned our feet from their sweaty socks and shoes and plunged our feet in to let out our various shrill tunes of shock. Our feet all went numb immediately, but, just for a challenge,

I found myself loving rock climbing as well even though I only got to climb once. I knew it would be a great way for kids to push themselves. I found myself having to rely on other people and equipment to save my life. It’s scary, exciting and fulfilling all at once. I never got

“Go back to the roots!” I told her. But, she didn’t move her feet. Her eyes were fixed at the base of the hill. Tears began to seep from her eyes. As her body went limp in despair, she began to slide. There was nothing for me to tell her to put her feet on.
Swiss Miss (1 of 4)
In my long blue shapeless gown, I stood in line waiting to receive my diploma. The straw from my Camel Back water bottle discretely poked through the collar allowing me easy relief from the sweltering heat. College graduation; for some, this was the moment that they had waited for all their lives.
