We have been wanting to visit the Dry Tortugas National Park for some time. We just have not made an effort to get to Key West, even though there are very cheap flight from Tampa every day. We finally got a hotel deal and flew down for a few days. There are only two ways to get to Dry Tortugas National Park. One is the ferry and the … Continue reading Dry Tortugas National Park
Several years ago, my husband was driving through the desert and saw a sign for Acoma Pueblo. It was not open when he came upon it, but he vowed that he would return to visit it one day. We headed there after leaving Ruidoso on the way to Albuquerque. Again, it was a lengthy drive, but it was very much worth the time. As you get closer to … Continue reading Acoma Pueblo

We drove through Roswell on the way. There were so many alien decorations. The wooden ones in front of the gas station were my favorite, but the Dunkin sign was amazing. We stopped to get … Continue reading Carlsbad Caverns

We needed to top off the gas tank and while we were waiting for a truck to move, three cars jumped a curb to pull in front of us. A taxi tore off part of … Continue reading Sydney, Australia

There are a ton of different artifacts from every war. They honor the soldiers with their portraits and medals and around the reflection pool they have lists of all the names of the soldiers from different wars and spaces for you … Continue reading Canberra and the Highlands, Australia
We had a flight at 9:30am back to Cairo. We only had to go through security twice this time and we didn’t have to line up by gender. We were patted down by the same gender as us though. The flight itself was uneventful. We got a water and an apple juice and I looked out at the vast amount of dirt of the land. It was beautiful and … Continue reading Return to Cairo
