With today’s gas prices, its expensive to drive to the grocery store, much less driving for a vacation. It is times like this when you grab a group of friends and split the gas six ways, which won’t leave your wallet running on empty.Just recently, my five closest girlfriends and I climbed into…

There are some of the postcard I have collected from around the world…Enjoy! TB has a Post Card Exchange Club too, so check us out!

Well, 3 days left. I've been trying like hell this week to get everything together so I won't be scrambling at the last minute to have everything packed. Now all I have to do is determine what I need to take out of my bag. I have 100 pounds of play room--two bags at 50 pounds each--and I'm sitting …

Work brought me to this little town of Kingsville.  There's really not much here other than a Navy Base, Wal-Mart, a sub-university of Texas A&M, and a diner called Gem's Pancake House.  This is where all the locals eat. Sorry there are no pictures here.  I brought my camer…

I am so excited I can barely stand it! We leave in just over 3 days, and I am so ready to be gone RIGHT NOW! I am in the process of making last-minute reservations and starting to get all our travel docs in order. Almost there, almost there... Just a couple more days!!!!

How do you start an introduction for a blog? I've never really written one before, so I'll probably just start off rambling until I hit my stride. So this is my blog for the summer. I'm pretty stoked about my future travels. I haven't been to Europe since I was 6, and I'm ready to go. I packed to…

At the last minute, my mom was graciously given a vacation from work, so we immediately logged onto travelocity, as I'd had pretty good luck with last minute packages there the weekend before, and lo and behold- Austin to San Francisco airfare+hotel for about $500 per person.  Pretty good if y…

Ok here is another trip I gave Bridget.  She was my date at the Navy Ball, she had her hair done and I bought her the dress, shoes and earrings. Also here are some photos of our room and Fort Worth, TX and photos at the base.

Just photos of our Geocaching trip this Labor Day

After all that travel in four days I was really hoping to get a direct flight back to Austin.  But because it was spring break all the direct flights were booked so I had to do American with a layover in Dallas.  I bet that ExpressJet flight from OKC to Austin is usually half fu…

I headed south thru WV,VA, IN, MO, ARK, and MS back thru L for a few weeks b4 heading back to calif

I spent most of today walking around the campus of UT Austin, but  unfortunately it was pretty dead because most of the students had left early for spring break. The campus itself is quite nice though and seems pretty compact and easy to get around. Definitely worth checking out for a little b…

I did not have a good camera and was only able to take a few shots. Mostly of Historical Forth Worth
