It can be a bit confusing understanding all the required documents and procedures involved with signing up for, and actually taking a space available flight. I have met a few people in my Space A travels that I would consider to be gurus. I won’t consider myself at their level, but after having flown Space ARead more
“…Make believe you’re brave, and the trick will take you far. You may be as brave as you make believe you are….” A friend posted this quote from The King and I tonight on Facebook (why is all my inspiration coming from Facebook these days??), and while it’s applicable to her situation because she justRead more
I feel like we have become professionals at making TLF (Temporary Lodging Facility) home over the past few weeks. For those of you not in the military, or new to the military, TLF is both a blessing and a curse at times. It’s wonderful in the fact that different from a standard hotel you oftenRead more
So, the day of the wedding was finally upon us. The morning spent scrambling to get everyone dressed, including a number of trips to and from Marco’s apartment and our hotel made by moi to retrieve various accessories Will forgot to complete his mess dress. The caravan lined up in the parking lot of theRead more
I’m going to have to just admit up front that I did not do the best job documenting this amazing experience through photos.

Ensuring those following that contrary to popular belief, they aren’t always dressed better than Rachel Zoe, eating a meal prepared by Wolfgang Puck himself,Read more
Those people stationed in Western Europe really have an unfair advantage. They have country upon country right at their fingertips, and a few years worth of weekends to spend exploring them. A fun (not so fun) fact about the military. While the leave time of 30 days a year sounds pretty generous, depending on whereRead more
I know I will revisit this subject in half a year’s time, but for some reason it’s what’s been a key topic of conversation lately, as well as something on my mind. Will’s initial four year commitment is quickly coming to an end. As in around about December this year we will have to makeRead more
We jokingly called this trip a fairy tale trip, but in all reality it kind of was (mainly because mama got to drink champagne at breakfast – I kid – actually no I don’t haha!). I had been wanting to see the castle that inspired Disney’s Cinderella castle, but when we didn’t makeRead more
