…and no responsibilities.
Where would you go?
I’m starting to think that opportunties like this don’t happen that often in a lifetime and when they do most people are usually too complacent to take advantage of them.

When my friend, Rhodie, asked me over drinks last Saturday night if I’d like to go camping the following weekend I, of course, said yes. I’d been debating my birthday camping trip and, having never done it before, was still considering the practicalities.
When he asked me Friday if I was up to a three mile [...]

When Life Hands You Lemons…Go to Paris

In Paris, personal, travel on 17 January 2008 with 7 comments

I finally bought my ticket to Paris today, which is quite possibly one of the most exciting things to have happened in a long time. I was thinking, Life may not turn out the way you want it to and People aren’t what you’d hoped or expected they’d be and there will always be [...]

The Adventures and Misadventures of West Virginia*

Lost.
I suppose it happens to everyone, and while we were fortunate enough never to have made a wrong turn or missed an exit (until we got to Manhattan) over the course of two days. We were, however misdirected by google maps an hour out of the way though West Virginia into a small mountain towns [...]

Stars and Mountains: Tennesse and Virginia.

In personal, travel on 2 January 2008 with 7 comments

I feel as though this post could suffer terribly if I try to romance the stars as they were in Tennessee. What can be said about them that hasn’t been said before? The problems is, when living in the city, it becomes easy to forget the number of stars in the sky and how beautiful [...]

Texas and Arkansas.

I would love to say that my writing skills could make the beginning of our road trip more interesting, but I’d be lying. On our way out of Texas our anxiousness kept us from talking too much and we traveled through places both of us had been through many times. Texas is as [...]

Freezing in Knoxville Tennessee

In personal, travel on 30 December 2007 with 6 comments

Part one of our trip is done, and I’d love to tell more about it but I am quite literally freezing in Knoxville, TN. The hostel itself, simply called the Knoxville Hostel is a quaint little house in a small college town and was our refuge last night from 12+ hours on the road. The [...]

Trip Changes

In personal, travel on 27 December 2007 with 23 comments

I had suspected it might happen, but its finally come to fruition…we’ve made the decision to leave a day later on Saturday instead of Friday which will put us in the thicket of holiday drivers heading home but also give us time to recuperate from the holiday weekend. The time change though not so drastic [...]

Airplane Sunrise

In Writing, travel on 27 December 2007 with 6 comments

It was as if someone had taken a wildly orange paint and swiped it across the horizon of the still dark blue sky and the clouds were an ocean rising up to engulf us. There was never anything so beautiful, so tranquil, so fearful and terrible even as the moment the plane tipped its wing [...]
