Yellowwww-stone

I am very proud of the logistics we have done for this trip, we are packing in as much as we can in 10 days so we can get to friends and family in the east.  But ooooeee if there was a place I would have padded our time it would have been here, Yellowstone.  It’s just so big and there is SO much to see, so we knew we had to get a jump in the am.  

Each day is a new learning for us, and today was all about hitting it before we make coffee (which is my favorite part of the day).  We had arrived at Headwaters Lodge and Campsite in the dark, and now we weren’t even going to step out into our site, it was time to spend as much time out in these geisers as we could! 






The park has a million little places to pull off, we knew we couldn’t go wrong. But, we also knew we couldn’t go all this way and skip the mutha of geisers: Ol’ Faithful.  But, instead of joining the crowds, there were a fair amount of people in the main tourist spot, we used our AllTrails app and found a great off road hike.  It had very few people and still had us sitting in perfect view of when the show started.  I swear Noah was with us in this first pic, but I like that it looks like it’s just the 2 of us. 





Noah was lovvving it and we asked him if he likes the hike or DisneyPlus and he said HIKE!  So you know he’s telling the truth.  We had one of those perfect snack spots in the shade and this little bro couldn’t contain himself.  He’s pretty funny, where does he get it?!  Shameless plug...

My Fair LadyBoy

Yes, finally. We found it. The combination of Thai Drag Queens (Lady Boys) and American show tunes. That, paired with Thai Mexican food, and I had quite a night in Chiang Rai! While mom devoured a whole fish and I tried to keep my food down from looking at the fried cockroaches, we enjoyed a delicious LadyBoy show, which you should as well, below: They were fab and we loved them. The best was when they would yell at each other to bow and to step right instead of left. No matter what country, a diva is a diva. Yesterday, mom had the genius idea instead of taking a 4 hour bus ride straight from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai, we would instead do a tour and just have them drop us at the end. Note to anyone: this is WAY better than being stuck on a bus for a few hours. We got to see some great stuff, my fav being the White Palace. It was this weird combo of super tacky beauty and a mesh of American humor. I couldn't take pics on the inside, but the temple was covered with images of Superm

So, I Guess We're Doing This?? 3k Mile Roadtrip, Here We Go!

Well this should be interesting!  We are in our final countdown until jumping into the biggest road-trip I have ever taken, 3k + miles across this beautiful, and tumultuous, country to go see our family back east.  Michael's entire family lives across CT and NYC and in a typical year, you know outside of a pandemic, social uprising and an anxiety pumping election, we are quick to jump on a plane to spend much needed time.  This year is slightly different... I am not going to dig into how Covid threw us off kilter, because I know anyone reading this has their own Covid journey, set backs, losses and struggles as well.  It is what unites us in this bizarre time, so you get it.  I lost my job back in May but Michael has done an unbelievable job of securing wonderful partners and clients and has kept incredibly busy throughout.  This flexibility of time and the silver lining of the pandemic led us to shrug our shoulders and just say "well...if not now, when?"  So I made the r

Here we go again!

Getting those pre-travel butterflies!  It's the feeling of complete chaos, excitement, nerves and already thinking I accidentally forgot everything at home.  Even though my bag is packed, and probably weighs as much as a 6th grader, and I have done this kind of trip a few times, I still feel like I forgot everything and have NO idea how to travel.   I know as soon as I hit the ground and start navigating through a new city, it will all come flying back to me.  I just have to get smacked in the face with humidity and have a cab driver yell at me in a foreign language and I will be just fine. Too many tank top and flip flop choices So, here are the basics: -Got me a solid travel partna' for this jaunt: sir Michael Seiler.  He's the best and has done just as much travel as me and has an affinity for the ukulele and street food.   He's the kinda guy you want to go adventuring with and when I get tired I can just climb up on his shoulders and see Central Americ
