We’re at it again! We’ve officially embarked on another wild adventure, and this time, our passports led us all the way to Kenya. Getting here was an Olympic endurance sport in itself: a crisp 25-hour trek from Tampa with pitstops in Miami and Doha, Qatar. By the time we finally landed, our joints were locked … More Welcome to Kenya! Safari Bound and (Barely) Plugged In

Chuck, too, seems to have accepted his fate; in 2017 he looked like … More From Cannibal Pots to French Bingo Halls

Today was basically Expedition Travel 101, and my body is already filing a complaint. We got to “sleep in” until… 6:45 a.m. (luxury? I think not!). Then it was straight to breakfast and a … More Welcome to Expedition Life (a.k.a. the Art of Dressing Like a Michelin Man Twice a Day)
