This was our last day in Arizona and I had a flight to catch in Phoenix at 8:45 PM. The idea was to start driving south and stop in Sedona for lunch before continuing on to Phoenix and visiting some places in Phoenix before heading to the airport. We took the US-89 heading south and …
Natural Wonders of Arizona: Day Four
Day four was sort of planned but not really. We had activities we hoped to do but were not sure if we would be able to. The main activity was visiting Antelope Canyon. There are two main areas of Antelope Canyon which is on Navajo land and you can only enter with a Navajo guide. …
Natural Wonders of Arizona: Day Three
On the third day of our trip we woke up to a fresh blanket of snow on the ground. It had snowed overnight but had luckily stopped already. We grabbed a much needed breakfast since we had just snacked for dinner the night before and once again packed everything up, checked out and loaded up …
Natural Wonders of Arizona: Day Two
Thanks to my parents still living on eastern standard time, I woke up way too early in the morning to find them pretty much up and about. I think on average I woke up around 6 AM MST through the trip even while going to sleep around midnight or later. Not ideally when I like …
Natural Wonders of Arizona: Day One
Our flights arrived in Phoenix around noon and then we had to head over to the rental car center to pick up our rental car. Two things to note there. One, you have to ride a shuttle bus to the rental car center and the ride over was maybe just under 10 minutes. Two, the …

Eating & Drinking Our Way through NYC (Day Three)

Eating & Drinking Our Way through NYC (Day Two)
For breakfast on our second day, I was trying to figure out this place I saw Top Chef Brooke Williamson post about in Chinatown that sold Cantonese rice noodle rolls (θ Έη²).

Eating & Drinking Our Way through NYC (Day One)
Last year in 2020, Jetblue had a giveaway where you could nominate a healthcare worker to win two roundtrip flights. One of my friends, a public health nurse, that I nominated won a pair and with the tickets expiring at the end of 2021, we were brainstorming where to go and decided on New York …
