another busy day

Today is another busy day, like yesterday.  But no complaints- it is fun to get ready to travel, and it will be fun to travel.  First thing after I woke up, I burned a DVD for my mom of photos from while we were in England.  I had to use her computer, because the CD [...]

travel

I love travel and I’m sure I always will.  This summer, my plans include visits to three other states- Colorado, Nebraska, and Massachusetts. (four if you count Kansas, which I will be driving across to reach Colorado.  five if you count Iowa, where I will just drive across the corner to reach Nebraska.)  No overseas [...]

25 things

Redirected from my Facebook page, because I don’t trust them with my content anymore.  Have you heard about their new ToS?

My middle name is Susanne.
I was born and raised in Kansas City, went to college nearby, and upon graduation, I moved as far away from the US as I could.
Then I moved back.  [...]

road trip

Road trips are a lot of fun… as long as you remain within the US!
There’s lots of car rental and car hire services around the world, but I’ve learned enough to know that outside of the US, it’s definitely wiser to just ride the bus or get someone else to drive you.  Even in the [...]

things I learned from the olympic closing ceremony

The patriotic tune, “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” was actually written to the same melody as “God Save the Queen“, the national anthem of England.
There is a really cool type of stilts that allow you to jump lots higher.  They look like they would be a lot of fun.  Check it out!

travel stories clarification…

I’ve decided to start adding stories from my travels to this blog.
Why?  Mostly because I can’t think of anything else to write about.
But just to clarify: Right now I am home sweet home in the US of A.
In 1999, I went to Thailand, Laos, and Burma, with a stopover in Japan.
In 2001, I went to [...]

england: the departure

Our scheduled flights to England were fairly standard.  We boarded at American Airlines flight at around 3pm taking us from Kansas City to Chicago (O’Hare Airport).  In Chicago, we were scheduled to board a British Airways flight from O’Hare to London’s Heathrow Airport.  These are pretty typical flights for people traveling from Kansas City to [...]

adventures in adventuring

For some reason it feels like my life has become extraordinarily boring.
It hasn’t, of course, but I am just struggling to find something to write about.
I am now officially a writer.  I’ve begun an outline for a manuscript which I will publish and sell through this website.  I’m also contemplating some other things- getting a [...]

vegas

I have a friend who will be celebrating her 30th birthday later this year.  She’s planning on creating a trip to Vegas with her friends.  I’ve never been to Vegas, and I’d love to go, but Las Vegas travel can be expensive!  I hope I can go, but it all depends on how my bank [...]

photos, photos, oh so many photos

I’m finally sitting down to seriously, massively organize all the photos I took in England.  And they are many.
But I’m excited too because I have so many stories that I can tell all of you.  It’ll be tons of fun.  Tell your friends.
Thanks, Mom, for nagging me about the photos.
