This past weekend was my first "pleasure" flight since the pandemic started. I had flown twice in Q4 2020 but those were necessary whereas this was for fun. I did test both before and after my flights back in 2020 but I have been fully vaccinated since February and most of my friends and family …

An Overdue Update
So looking back, my last update was about my Central Europe trip and I only wrote about half the trip. Looking in my draft posts, I was prepared to write three more posts but COVID-19 happened and I ended up taking a pause on this blog. Between my last post and the actual start of …
Central Europe (A Globus Tour): Vienna, Austria
On the morning of the third day, I finished packing and left my suitcase outside my door for it to be collected and placed on the bus. Your tour director gives you a luggage tag to attach to your bag to make it easy for it to be collected and placed on the correct bus. …

Central Europe (A Globus Tour): Budapest, Hungary

Weekend Trip to San Diego
Back around Black Friday last year, Delta was having a sale on flights from LA to San Diego and since my favorite Italian restaurant is in San Diego (and I just really like San Diego in general) I decided to a round-trip ticket for February. This is of course a very short flight. I believe …
Last Day in Montana
We returned to Montana from Canada after driving through Kootenay National Park and checked-in at the same hotel we had stayed in during the beginning of our trip, the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Kalispell. We also returned to the same MacKenzie River Pub & Grill but ordered slightly different items. Our best discovery this …
Kootenay National Park, British Columbia
We had pretty much visited all the places we wanted to in Banff & Yoho National Park and were planning to drive through Kootenay National Park on our way back to Montana. There were not a lot of highlights we were planning to stop at in Kootenay so we figured we could have a late …
Banff National Park, Alberta and Yoho National Park, British Columbia: Day Two
Our second day in the Canadian Rockies was a sunnier day. We got up earlier in an attempt to make it Morraine Lake before their parking lot filled up but it was not meant to be as access had already been blocked off. Although we were earlier than the day before, the weather was nicer …
