A Brief Recap
November 27, 2018
Without putting in too much time or effort I wanted to create a short recap of some of the highlights from our three years of travel. At some point I may devote more time to making a proper documentary, but for now this is a fun flashback on an amazing three years of living life … More A Brief Recap
Time
July 30, 2018
My answer: time The question: what is your most valuable possession or resource? The older I get, and the more experience I gain, the more protective I am of my time. We are all marching towards the same destiny, the day we each run out of time. Time cannot be bought, but it can be … More Time
Destin – 2017!!!
February 21, 2018
Isn’t it funny how something that happens in someone else’s life can end up having such a dramatic effect on your life and those around you? A little over four years ago, my cousin, Ali Nordlander (now Joseph) got stationed at Eglin Airforce Base outside of Destin Florida as a Labor and Delivery Nurse. We … More Destin – 2017!!!
Nepal: The Khumbu Valley and Ama Dablam
November 7, 2016
When we entered MLR (mid-life retirement) our first trip was to be to Nepal and do some climbing. Literally, as we sat at the computer debating about which flights to book to Kathmandu the devastating 2014 earthquake hit Nepal. Seeing the devastation, and knowing our desired timeline to be there would put us smack in … More Nepal: The Khumbu Valley and Ama Dablam

Bhutan
October 26, 2016
As our flight descended below the fog we could see the ground not far below. Up to this point, the short 45 minute flight from Kathmandu Nepal had been perfect: quiet passengers, great flight crew, free snack, and amazing views of Everest and all of Nepal’s major peaks. Suddenly the plane banked hard to the … More Bhutan
Climbing Mont Blanc
September 25, 2016
There are very few purchases, that get us as psyched as buying international plane tickets. But for our Europe tour, we set a strict budget, meaning our flight schedule was less than desirable. When you’re at home, cosy in your jammies booking flights, it’s easy to ignore how taxing long-layovers and time-zone changes will … More Climbing Mont Blanc
Touring U.S. Ski Towns
August 27, 2016
After a few weeks on the beach and a whirlwind tour up the east coast we were itching to get back to the mountains. The heat and humidity had been tolerable, but we certainly prefer the coolness that only comes with altitude. We also needed to get our bodies free of their sea level acclimatization … More Touring U.S. Ski Towns

We have an Aunt, Uncle and Cousin that live in Destin Florida. We have gone and visited them three times in the last four years. If you have not been, wow….the best beaches in the lower 48 for sure! Warm, clear water. Super wide white sand beaches. I mean it is paradise! We planned to go … More Visiting Family in Destin, Florida
