Small Town Adventures – DeLand

On February 5, 2016October 21, 2017 By AllisonIn small town adventures, travelLeave a comment

House-hunting has brought M. and me out of our noisy Orlando neighborhood and into some small towns just a short drive away. Our first visit was to historic downtown DeLand. DeLand is the first city in which M. lived when his family moved to Florida back in the day. In fact, his 91-year-old grandmother still …

Going Pro – return to GTNP

When I had the idea to go back to Jackson Hole, WY, which really came to me the second I left in 2012, I realized a shift in responsibility and maturity. Going three years ago was easy: my ticket was booked, my itinerary was planned for me, most things were paid for. Thanks, Mom! Grand …

Epic Road Trip in review

On July 10, 2015October 21, 2017 By AllisonIn travelLeave a comment

Arizona drive If driving across the country and back was considered a vacation, there were so many times when it felt like a lot of work. I realized this on my drive back east. I realized how hard it was to do it alone- to drive all day without another pair of hands to take …

Road Trip – Days 7 & 8

On June 15, 2015October 21, 2017 By AllisonIn travelLeave a comment

Sunday, I was able to slow down a bit and hang out in Flagstaff, which is a pretty neat town. There were so many things to take care of, and I tended to think of everything while driving, so it was refreshing to get a chance to sit down and cross things off the old …

Road Trip – Day 6: Grandest Day Ever

Saturday was a turning point for me. After sleeping a hard 10 hours, I was first out on the trail in Zion National Park. It was a short hike, but just what I needed after 5 days of driving. After the hike, I was able to drive through Zion to the East entrance and through …

Road Trip – Day 5: The Road to Zion

On June 14, 2015October 21, 2017 By AllisonIn travelLeave a comment

Let’s face it, I couldn’t wait to get out of the state of Colorado. By the time I reached Grand Junction, the landscape was looking pretty Utah-y. Friday morning, I reached the state of Utah pretty quickly and enjoyed the drive through several canyons which made me channel Thelma & Louise. Not the killing a …

Road Trip – Day 4: White Caps, White Knuckles

On June 12, 2015October 21, 2017 By AllisonIn travelLeave a comment

I’m the same person I woke up as, but I feel different- more focused, experienced, wiser. Today was the toughest day so far, filled with mountain driving, rock slides causing a long detour and changes plans, thus changing the course of my road trip. My detour off Hwy 70. Starting out of Denver, it was …

Road Trip – Day 1

On June 9, 2015October 21, 2017 By AllisonIn travelLeave a comment

So much for a pre-road trip check-list/preparation guide, I’m one day into my road trip to Utah. I realized today that I cannot give adequate preparation advice before implementing my own efforts to plan for this 12-day journey. And I already have some lessons learned. 1. On being spontaneous. It sounds like a good idea, …
