Travel from sea to shining sea; by car or by plane, there's plenty to see in the good ole US of A.

Del Norte, Colorado
Del Norte, Colorado sits where the Rio Grande leaves the San Juan mountains in Southern Colorado in the San Luis Valley. It is approximately 60 miles from the NM border. Many times, people, even those who live in Colorado, have not heard of Del Norte. I must explain that it is a small town near Alamosa or South Fork for people to understand where I am from.

Super, Natural, British Columbia
I moved around a lot as a kid. My parents separated before I'd turned one. Between bouncing back and forth living with my mother and my father, and both of them moving from place to place, by the time I'd graduated High School I'd been to nine different schools.

A Tour of Florida
I used to say I was born in the Garden State and raised in the Sunshine State because I moved to Florida from New Jersey in 1983 when I was 12 years old. I moved back to New Jersey in 2007, then I moved back to Florida in 2010. Then I moved back to New Jersey in 2019. I've been visiting in Florida since Thanksgiving 2020 and I'm looking forward to going back to New Jersey as soon as possible in 2021.

The Gold Rush Relics
Never in my advancing (57) years have I returned to a place after a sizeable absence and not exclaimed “Wow! This place has changed!” The singular exception is my broodingly beautiful old hometown; collectively referred to as “Scott Valley, California.” While I attended school in Fort Jones proper, it’s fair to say that the tiny hamlets of Fort Jones (Population 600ish forever) Etna (Same), and Greenview (Smaller), as well as Callahan (Smallest) all comprise “The Valley,” along with a few other little settlements.

My Hometown, Pensacola, FL
Pensacola, Florida is my hometown located on the upper most western part of Florida. The western part of Florida is called the “Panhandle” because it is directly above the Gulf of Mexico. Pensacola is home to the rich, white sand beaches. I grew up there the past 10 years of my life due to the fact that my parents were in military (Navy), and they decided to retire there. Pensacola houses many Navy pilots who fly the marvelous Blue Angels jets. Each and every year, the Blue Angels perform over Pensacola Beach to show the community how fast and in synch they can be while in the air. It is completely mind blowing. They fly very fast and loud breaking the speed of sound.

Philadelphia is My Jawn
Home isn’t where your heart is, it’s where you get defensive. Okay, it’s not as catchy, but hear me out. My heart is in Dublin. I love that city. I want to visit it often. But it’s not my home.

Ancient Archaeological Site’s in North America’s
(Ancient North America’s ) The North America’s, when most think of this land we think of the Native American’s and the European take over 500 plus years ago. But the north America’s region has a lot of ancient sites, archeological sites, which date back to even before the ancient Egyptians and Greek. After the end of the ice age we have a somewhat lost history of the north America’s. But we have been finding ancient archaeological sites dating 10’s of thousand of years old.

A Thousand Tragedies
Meet the girl who gets lost in every city. The cars are flying by so fast without any sympathy for the unmoving road. Cherry Blossoms are shaking along with the rhythm of the soft wind. By now, the sky awaits the blanket of darkness to whisper it goodnight. The block of residential houses are so quiet they could be mistaken for a haunted town.

A Multicultural Experience in Southern California
The new year is off to a hopeful start, with the COVID-19 vaccine finally making its rounds across America, as well as the rest of the world! We may soon be able to travel safely by airplane again! But if you’re like me, and cabin fever is getting the best of you, a road trip may be just the thing to keep you sane. I loved that I didn’t need to leave California to experience world cultures, as California really is a melting pot. Please note that with the steady increase of coronavirus cases -- especially in Southern California -- all activities listed here are not guaranteed to still be open now. Please do your due diligence to find out if they are before heading on your adventure, and be sure to wear a mask properly at all times.
