A Couple's Quest to Live Globally

No, Paul and I are not lost in New Orleans. No need to send out a search party. I’m completely aware that we’ve been home from our road trip for a few months now and I’ve only blogged as far as Louisiana. I’ve got quite a few more posts to go and many places and adventures to report from the cross-country excursion. Unfortunately, I’ve been unable to find time to write and,… Read More
If you didn’t know already, New Orleans just might be the most delicious city in America. I could go on and on about how due to the impending Fourth of July weekend, we had to drive straight to New Orleans and skip Memphis and Elvis and his blue suede shoes. I could tell you how terribly disappointed I was that I wasn’t able to tour Graceland (for the third time), and that,… Read More
As many of you know already, Paul is not a huge fan of camping. While he thought it was really neat to get some up close photography of elk grazing along the rim of the Grand Canyon, he also stated he felt “he was living in a zoo and he was the inmate.” In this post, my husband does the writing and I took the photo. We reversed roles so that you… Read More
Being married to Miranda’s stunt double is a tough gig for Paul. It would be one thing if his Miranda-like wife just resembled the country singing superstar, but the fact that she somewhat looks like her AND loves her music is just something he can’t quite figure out. How did his Jersey Girl ever become a fan of cowboy boots and Tim McGraw? My country tastes began in the concert venue of… Read More
The Smoky Mountains are magnificent, and if you’ve never taken a drive through them, I suggest you put it on your list. This was my second trip to the Smoky’s and Paul’s first. I think one of the best ways to really experience the Smoky Mountains is to tent camp there. Of course, you could opt instead to join the thousands of tourists that flock to DollyWood in nearby Pigeon Forge or… Read More
After a sleepless night in West Virginia, we headed south to New River Gorge, and then onto Asheville, North Carolina for our second night. The drive to Asheville was a long 6 and a half hours, but it felt even longer due to only getting an hour’s worth of rest the night before. We arrived into the small city around 4pm, parked in the nearest public parking garage, and walked desperately in… Read More
It’s the moment you’ve been waiting for. The first post of many on our road trip across the good ol’ U S of A. I know I promised a “live” blog to many of you, but doing this “live” isn’t as easy as I thought it would be. While driving across this great land of ours, I have a lot of time to think about what I’m going to write, but rarely… Read More
Just in case you’ve been wondering what we’ve been up to…
We were just notified that Paul’s photo of the Empire State Building and my writing is being featured on the Westin Finds from AFAR website! Follow the link below, then scroll down to Great for a Couple, EAT. Click the 3 and there we are!

I didn’t know until recently that Paul was hiding a rather amazing photo from Chicago because “he didn’t really like it at first”…. Seriously? I’m in awe of this masterpiece! I’m happy he’s letting me share it with the world now…
