Let’s begin our journey in the United States of America. After all, this is where the majority of our followers reside, and it is my original home. I touched on this briefly in the “Letter to My Mom” post, so please, take a look if you haven’t already. America, as we call it, is absurdly […]
Atlas Mountains and Three Valleys Tour From Marrakech After being in Marrakech for five days, we finally got out of town on a field trip! Before we left Texas, I partnered with TripAdvisor to book a few excursions using their huge selection of “Things To Do” options. If you’re ever in need of booking any […]
In case you follow along on Facebook or Instagram, you know by now that Rusty and I took a camel trek in the Sahara for three days. It was an incredible experience, one that both of us are humbled and thankful that we got to have. But let’s be honest. While we ARE THANKFUL, and […]
Normally, a week flies by when we are traveling abroad, but for some reason, this past week in Marrakech has seemed to crawl by. If I weren’t keeping track, honestly, I would tell you we have been here at least two weeks, if not more. It’s hard to explain, but I will try… We arrived […]
The Riad Elsagaya is our home here in Marrakech…I’m letting Rusty introduce you to it while I take the day off! Marrakech. You’ve seen the snake charmers and the dancers, the spices and the trinkets, but then? After a bustling day and night at the main square, with sights, sounds, and smells coming from every […]
Today we managed to wake up a little earlier…jetlag seems to have a way with me from time to time, but I did make it to breakfast downstairs. We were welcomed to a table in the courtyard, by the pool, and served coffee and tea, bread, and Moroccan pancakes. I’ll tell you in a few […]
After a long weekend visiting my sister and her family, and hanging out with Seven and my parents, we said goodbye to friends and family and boarded our flight east. We left from Dulles International Airport, and things were rocky, to say the least, from minute one. As we had opted to fly Iceland Air, […]
Click bait. That’s the definition of most financial articles. Not this one. Everything I am going to tell you is on this page. So, let’s dive in. How were we, normal people, able to afford a second home? More importantly, how can YOU get your own vacation home? First, make a goal. Okay, we’ve got […]
Heading to Paint Bank, Virginia After a week of hiding out in my parents house here in Virginia, Rusty and I decided on a day trip to get out and see some of the countryside. I’ve always known that the mountains where I grew up provide beautiful scenery – it seems every turn on the […]
We traveled from Memphis to Virginia, stopping in Nashville for biscuits and more at the Loveless Café. Don’t worry…if you are looking for a post about things to do in Elvisland, hang tight. It’s not in this post, but it’s coming. I have a few fun things that would fill up the perfect Memphis Weekend […]
When you think of Memphis, what is the first thing you think of? The Blues? Elvis? The Mississippi River? And…have you been to Memphis? Smack dab in the middle of the country, you’d think that many of us have spent a few days or at least a weekend there…but have we? Until not too long […]
While we are parked here in Virginia for a few days before flying off to Morocco, we thought we’d share a few more personal things. Like this. Rusty talked a while with his mom before we left Texas, and a few questions were left unanswered. So, this is Rusty’s response to his mother, and, to […]
