Our trip started with a frantic drive out to Durango, Colorado. Our end goal of Mesa Verde National Park was filled to the brim with largely intact Pueblo Indian ruins that are only directly accessible to the public if they are guided in by a park ranger.

Cruiser of the Caribbean Pt. 3
Day 9: San Juan We arrived back in San Juan bright and early. The last night on the boat had been the roughest night yet. The ship was flying through the water, and, as I tried the pack, we were heavily rocking back and forth. I started timing my walks across the room to whenContinue reading “Cruiser of the Caribbean Pt. 3”
Cruisers of the Caribbean Pt. 2
Day 4 We woke up again at 6:00, ready to have breakfast at 6:30, and be off the ship promptly at 8:00am.

But it wasContinue reading “Cruisers of the Caribbean Pt. 2”
Cruisers of the Caribbean Pt. 1
Well friends, it has finally happened. I wrote a blog so dang long that WordPress’s editor couldn’t really load my photos, or upload new photos, or load that many words, and so I’ve been forced to split my blog into multiple posts in order to accommodate. So before you continue on this journey, just beContinue reading “Cruisers of the Caribbean Pt. 1”

Presidential Perambulations: Death Valley Edition
President’s Day weekend was a long weekend off work for me, and Aaron’s schedule is somewhat flexible so we decided to take some time to drive down and explore Death Valley and get the most out of our jeep. We did our research beforehand, and headed down to the park armed with the National GeographicContinue reading “Presidential Perambulations: Death Valley Edition”
Down Under, Around, and Back Again
After me being home for approximately three weeks this summer, Aaron suggested that I join him for the Australia leg of his Eastern Hemisphere trip that would include Shanghai, Australia, and Singapore, among other countries. Neither of us had been to Australia and it was the only continent neither of us had yet been too,Continue reading “Down Under, Around, and Back Again”
#thatpueblolife AKA The Austin Appreciation Post
A year and a half ago I texted Austin and I asked him if he wanted to go to Spain with me to teach English after we graduated. I didn’t have any concrete plans after graduation, he didn’t have any concrete plans after graduation. He’d been my travel buddy through all of Argentina, it seemedContinue reading “#thatpueblolife AKA The Austin Appreciation Post”
