“Only he that has traveled the road knows where the holes are deep.” – Chinese Proverb
Some things about traveling really suck. Like packing. (Unpacking, however, is kind of fun.) Which is why I tend to leave it until the last possible minute, not always the best strategy. I always start off a trip with a nagging feeling in my head – what did I forget? So I’ve developed a few […]
We’ve all been there. Traveling around, having a jolly old time, when an essential piece of our gear suddenly dies or disappears. But what to do if that gear is not only essential, but also intimate? A friend generously gave me permission to share her story of finding herself without usable underwear on an extended, […]
I remember clearly the day I bought my first “car”. It was my 20th birthday. I came home and parked my new baby in the driveway and ran upstairs to tell my roommate. It was a Saturday and she wanted to sleep in. “Why does everyone keep bugging me?” She whined, pulling the blanket over […]

All four of us in the gigantic silk store were crabby. The employees were obviously annoyed that we weren’t buying. And my travel partner and I were not happy to be there. We had not signed on for this. At least not knowingly. It was a little “extra” which had been slipped into our day […]
