This itinerary focused on spending a week in the state of Oregon. The main purpose of this trip was to sample the plethora of waterfalls that were here – both within the famous Columbia River Gorge as well as outside the waterfall-rich area…

This itinerary covered our long overdue visit to Sedona as an extended weekend. My ulterior motive of basing ourselves in Sedona was to finally visit the Grand Falls. Aside from this waterfall, everything else was just icing on the cake…

This was a very brief Valentine’s Day weekend overnight trip to Santa Barbara. This city has long been like a little weekend getaway spot for us, but tried to capitalize on the fact that we were in the middle of California’s historically rainiest month…

This itinerary covered a three-week trip to Thailand as well as a few days in Cambodia. I’ve opted to combine this into a single itinerary since it’s reasonable to assume that many visitors to Cambodia will only do it as an add-on to a Thailand trip as we had done…

This itinerary covered our visit to St Lucia over the Thanksgiving Weekend. Due to the national holiday, we only needed to take one day off work, and it turned out that the short Thanksgiving week was not a bad time to travel abroad…

This itinerary of our visit to Kaieteur Falls was probably our craziest far-flung trip to date. We basically crammed a trip to Guyana (on the northern part of South America) into the long Labor Day Weekend with no work days taken off…

This trip was the second major leg of our epic around-the-world tour that consisted of Eastern Australia as well as selected countries of East Africa. The Africa portion of the trip consisted of a series of tours run by tour operators who each specialized…

This itinerary covered part of the second major leg of our epic around-the-world tour that consisted of Eastern Australia as well as selected countries of East Africa. This was an independent self-tour…

This trip pertains to a quick fully escorted trip to Peru. It not only included the typical Cusco-Machu Picchu itinerary (i.e. the so-called “Gringo Trail”), but we also spent the majority of our time in the Amazonas Region of Northern Peru…

This itinerary pertained to a dedicated Big Island weekend trip. We waimed to visit the remaining waterfalls (or at least see them flowing) that we either missed or didn’t have a good experience for in our previous visits…

This was a very brief overnight trip to Julian in celebration of Valentine’s Day. While one normally associates this day with romance (or heartbreak, depending on your situation), Julie and I remembered this trip in terms of hiking and driving under a freak snow storm…

Julie and I remembered this Big Island Trip well because it was one in which bad weather pretty much kept us from accomplishing any of the goals that we had set out to do. What happened was that unprecedented heavy rains (from Climate Change?)…

This itinerary covers our visit to Patagonia from both the Argentina as well as Chile sides. Included in this two-week trip were a few days spent in Buenos Aires (the capital of Argentina) as well as a fruitful layover in Miami’s South Beach…

This itinerary of our visit to Angel Falls pretty much revolved around an organized tour that would allow us to access the remote waterfall. It took the entire week of Thanksgiving, but I’m still kicking myself for not taking a few extra days…

This itinerary of our visit to Iguazu Falls was designed in the interest of limited time as it took place over the Labor Day Weekend plus a couple of additional days off to extend the holiday to a total of five days…
