As most of you know by now, Kevin and I were convinced that we hated Las Vegas. Okay, I’ll admit it. We’d totally judged our friends who’d drive 5 hours from LA just for a concert. Like ‘J.Lo’ won’t come to LA? We both cringed at the thought of spending…
So it’s going to sounds weird, but our latest 2 day road trip adventure was pretty much inspired (okay, completely!) by my computer’s desktop wallpaper. You’ve all seen the shot, I’m sure. It’s that unmistakable river bend known as horseshoe canyon. But to me, it resembles an island on some…
Route 66 is legendary — conjuring up images of the golden age of the automobile and roadside America. Decades after the interstate highway system nearly wiped it off the map, the route is still hanging on. Today, one of the best places to see Route 66 in all its glory is…
Sadly we’ve come to the end of our New Zealand adventure. For the past 2 weeks, I showed Kevin around the country that I called home more than 16 years ago. And yes, I’m feeling very old just thinking about it! The best way to see New Zealand is by…
It’s a road trip adventure! Two weeks in New Zealand is a good chunk of time. Now don’t get me wrong — Kevin and I could have easily spent a month driving around. But sadly, as our fellow Americans know all too well, we only had 2 weeks of vacation….
It’s unreal to think that a year has passed since Kevin and I got married in downtown Los Angeles after 13 years together. And as we joke, in gay years, it’s even longer! How quickly a year passes. I feel so lucky. To celebrate our 1-year wedding anniversary, we’d be…
Queenstown remains one of my favorite places in all of New Zealand. Call me an adrenaline junkie, but I love all the insane activities you can do here. I first came to Queenstown in my early 20’s as a student where I braved jumping off the Kawarau Bridge, the first-ever…
Known around the world for its fruit-forward Sauvignon Blanc, the Marlborough is New Zealand’s largest wine region. Any good wine buff could tell you that New Zealand’s Marlborough wine is among the best. And what better way to explore it than by bike? Getting ready to explore New Zealand’s wine country…
A trip to New Zealand wouldn’t be complete without a stop in Rotorua, located about a 3 hour drive south east of Auckland on the North Island. If you’re looking for a quiet, pastoral village… Well, Rotorua might not be the right place for you. This town is buzzing with…
Let’s face it. I’ve never been into science fiction or fantasy. I haven’t read a single Harry Potter novel and couldn’t even begin to fake knowing the plotline for Lord of the Rings (other than it involves a ring… And a gremlin-like creature who constantly says, “my precious”). And yes,…
