You'll see a definite theme. (See current needs #11 needs here.) Somewhere in the Maldives. Pretty please, Positano. Oh, hi, Oregon. You get my drift. My last real, bonafide vacation was in February 2016, when my girls and I went to that lovely trip to Paris. (Plenty of photos of that trip; search "Paris" and …
Blogtober #12: Flashback Friday to Summer.
No, this post isn't necessarily about fall, although the last day of my trip occurred in September. But we're flashbacking today, so it's all good. Anywho, this past Labor Day weekend, I left on a jet plane to visit a good friend of mine who lives in Orange County, CA. Despite the fact that it …

things i currently need #10: stuff and tings.
I'll link to #1-9 needful things at the end of this post because it's been a while since this feature and I miss those halcyon days. Anywho, shall we get to it? I need to feel this way right now. Just pure insouciance. I tend to be tightly wound, remember? Sometimes I feel anxiety wrapping itself …

Leaving Las Vegas. (Blogtober #11)
I'm leaving on a jet plane... Typically, when vacations end and I'm on a plane about to head back home, I nurse that melancholy, vacay-is-over-back-to-work-help-me feeling. Reason #1,097,012 why I need to quit my job, gain some kind of independent wealth, and just travel the world and write. Anyway, I've decided, as I wait for …
Autumn in Vegas: Chill. (Blogtober #10)
On this, our final full day in Las Vegas, we visited the home of my bestie's niece and enjoyed a hearty dinner with her family. I am full, content, and slightly melancholy at my vacation ending tomorrow. But the end of a vacation means another should come soon, right? Plus, I made a new friend. …
Autumn in Vegas: All of the Lights (And those Fountains) (Blogtober #9)
We made it to the Vegas strip this evening. We saw the amazing lights and the enormous hotels bearing the names of Trump and Caesar. We saw all kinds of sights, saw all kinds of interesting people, and tried very hard to avoid the Chewbacca impersonator who was slinking his way toward us. What clinched …

Autumn in Vegas: The Grand Canyon (Blogtober #8)
I've been longing to see it since I can remember, since I knew it existed. Today, I gazed at its colorful caves, its seemingly endless, sprawling length, the winding Colorado River at its bottom, its majestic hills, its jutting crags, at the horizon peaking above it. Pictures don't do it justice, no, but they speak …

Autumn in Vegas. (Blogtober #6)
Viva Las Vegas. I'm in the city for a much-needed week's vacation with friends and I'm really enjoying it so far. No, there is no crisp autumn air to be found, but there are amazing mountains and sights, the Flamingo on the the Vegas strip, and so much more. Here are a few photos. More …
Meanwhile, on L’Avenue des Champs-Élysées…
See that grinning girl standing in front of the Arc de Triomphe? C'est moi. One of the best trips of all time. Off all time.
This Square Peg…Loves to Travel.
So, yours truly is a travel bug. I love everything about traveling, from airport eating (i.e., all diets are quickly hurled to the ground and abandoned once your feet touch the terminal floor), to the tons of people-watching I participate in, both at the terminal and wherever I travel. Having just returned from a relaxing …
