I can't believe I am finally writing an entry about another country! Don't get me wrong, we had a blast being creative on our road trips over the past couple of years, but it felt amazing to be in Mexico! Day 1 is a short entry and it really just entails the flight there and arriving at our hotel. Our flight left LA mid-morning and we arrive in PV a little after 3pm. The flight is super short. A tad bit longer than the duration from home to Seattle, a trip I hav...

As I said in my previous entry, our plan was to get up bright and early with the sun to get to Yosemite. Needless to say, after all of our driving, our intensely scary hike to the top of the freaking world, (Moro Rock in Sequoia) and all of our walking, we slept right through our alarms. Clearly we needed the extra rest, so we were ok with getting a later start as we actually had no agenda for the day. Our hotel usually would have offered a hot breakfast but due ...

Another Bravo Road Trip!! Our original plan was to be on the road bright and early around 7am, but we ended up sleeping in a bit.

We ended up taking the Jeep Wrangler instead of our new Renegade. Jaime wanted to do the driving, and the Wrangler has more room, and a bigger gas tank,...

Wow, what a day! First of all, we didn't even definitively decide to come to Arches until the day before. That added an extra 8 hours of driving (4 hours there, 4 hours back). Did not seem so bad compared to the 8 hours straight of driving on Wednesday. Of course we had to drive that back home the following day, but we weren't concerned about that. So our crazy road trip within our road trip starts out very interesting.... I drove to and from Arches. I really ...

Over 1,700 miles driven. 2 National Parks in 2 days. 24 hours of driving. Things are definitely different in 2020. My next blog post was going to be from our adventures in Peru in October, but of course that is not happening. So much uncertainty and frightening things going on in our world right now. As frequent travelers, travel bans and quarantines have been quite difficult. Before I get into the summary of our trip, I do want to mention that we are beyond gr...
