A Bus Story

The following is a paper I wrote for a university travel writing course. The assignment was to take a local bus and write about it. A Bus Story is the result and, in case you were wondering, I got an A. I remember the first time I stepped onto a London bus. I hadn’t been to the UK before and every single thing was exciting. We had been there for a few days and I was still in awe that all of these places I had only seen on a screen were actually real and as amazing and imposing as I could have ... Read More

Everything You Need to Know about Hong Kong Disneyland

Everything You Need to Know about Hong Kong Disneyland

We couldn't visit Hong Kong without spending some time at Hong Kong Disneyland. The last time Scott and I were there was in 2006, just a few months after the park opened. The park was pretty empty back then--both from people and attractions. I can remember feeling like we walked through twenty minutes of nothing to get from one ride to the next. I was looking forward to visiting both because I spent a year being disappointed by Disneyland Paris and I wanted to see how the Hong Park had grown. ... Read More

How to Plan a Family Road Trip on a Budget

How to Plan a Family Road Trip on a Budget

When we knew we were leaving the States, I knew that I wanted to take the girls (and Scott!) to Asheville, North Carolina, which is where my grandparents lived. I spent so much time there growing up and the area is so special to me. I had avoided it for a long time because I felt like it would hurt too much to go back but I was suddenly desperate to share such an important part of my childhood with my family, especially with not knowing when the next opportunity would be. We lived outside of ... Read More
