Because Eventually I Have To Die, Maybe
Summer Trip Number Three
Alright, after much consideration, Adam and I have decided on a whirlwind road trip to Las Vegas, Nevada from our home base in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Almost 19 hours of driving on either side, so I am quite happy we have almost 11 days to get it all done. With the help of google maps we made up an itinerary and we seem pretty good to go at this point.
Here’s a run down of our trip…
Day One: Drive to Great Falls Montana.
Day Two: Drive to Salt Lake City (wooo Mormons)
Day Three: Spend the day in Salt Lake City
Day Four: Drive to Las Vegas
Day Five: In Vegas
Day Six: In Vegas
Day Seven: Day trip to Bad Water, Death Valley
Day Eight: In Vegas
Day Nine: Drive to Salt Lake City
Day Ten: Drive to Great Falls
Day Eleven: Drive to Calgary and see Margaret Cho!
I’ll get to cross a few things off of my list with this plan.
187. Gamble in Vegas
542. Walk down the Las Vegas Strip
378. Go to Bad Water, Death Valley, the lowest point in North America
403. Go to Salt Lake City and do Mormon things
543. Go to the Joseph Smith Memorial Centre
I really want to try to get to the Grand Canyon as well, but that is up to Adam who is the lone driver for this excursion. We’ll have to see how it goes, I might try excluding the whole day in Salt Lake City if it would give us time for a day trip to the giant gorge in Arizona. Options, options, options. I’m still sort of heart broken we’re not going full force into California to see Los Angeles as well. I really want to see the Hollywood sign and I have no idea why.

Iceland

The weather has decided to get back to be snowy and cold, which is just what it does in April when you live in Calgary, Alberta. I’ve literally spent the entire day I should have been studying staring out the window thinking about Iceland, because you know…snow…outside…Ice…land. Yeah. August I will be heading the Iceland

A Beginner’s Guide to NYC

After a sleepless 12 hour over night Greyhound stint, stuck sitting next to the bathroom, Manhattan can seem a little daunting the first time you see it from a distance. And from there, it only gets worse. You climb off the bus into the August heat, trying to find the right Subway entrance. You have

Irma is possibly the best photo subject in the world. This is from our travels to NYC, the Central Library in particular. Upon finding she was actually a donor to the Library she got over excited and panned for the camera.

This week is all about things that aren’t about to make it onto my life list any time soon. I’m trying to be adventurous and open to new experiences, but some things are just beyond my personal threshold. Case in point: Pulpit Rock. The articles are still great and interesting, the subjects just happen to
My Top Ten

I think by now my list has every continent, and possibly even every country, on it. Of course, like with all things, I have a few favoured destinations, ones that distract me from everything. 1. Iceland Most people like warm destinations, but being Canadian, I prefer familiar temperatures and not having to buy new clothes
The Philosophy of “Just Do What You Want”

I don’t wax philosophical much on this blog, but in real life I’m the love child of Socrates and Plato (the gayest of all the philosophers: fact). And I’ve had a giant mental shift. The other night, laying in my super pink room, worried deeply about my future, Adam told me something that blew my
#591 – Tang

The conversation went like this Mom: Why did you get Tang when you don’t like orange flavour. Me: … Mom: I mean what inspired you? Me: I didn’t know what Tang was. Mom: Great job. And that was how crossing number #591 off my list went. When I added “Try Tang” to my list, I

Pulpit Rock Photo Montage image via Dilidou Heights are not my thing. Thus, Pulpit Rock in Norway scares the crap out of me. Just watching those people sit leisurely on the edge makes me sink to the carpet covered floors of my room in my “safety crouch” (reserved for swinging bridges, gondola lifts, driving on
