#80: Sleeping Under the Stars
Posted on July 24, 2010 | No CommentsI’m not sure how long it would have taken me to cross #80 off my “life to do list.” You see, sleeping under the stars (i.e. camping) is something I used to try when I was little. I’d set up a tent in my parent’s... -

Day 1: All You Can Do is Keep Bleeding
Posted on September 30, 2009 | No CommentsMy personal in-flight television screen says that we have traveled 1585 miles from Los Angeles.

#14: Call me Farmer Janelle

#71: Ferry’s Anatomy
Posted on July 26, 2009 | No CommentsI was hoping to cross off #71 on the Life To Do List by taking a cruise somewhere exotic. I didn’t expect that Travel somewhere on a boat would mean riding on not one, but TWO ferries in Beautiful British Columbia. To get to my... -
My Canadian Training Day
Posted on July 26, 2009 | 1 CommentWhile living in Los Angeles, I rarely drive more than 10 miles a day. But visiting my parents in Northern California, my aunt in Seattle, and my Uncle on his garlic farm in Canada was too many flights (and dollars) to muster. Driving 1600 miles...
