Facay: a global vacation booking site
Huntsville in Alabama turned out to be an interesting place. The venues our group went to were unique and, in between, we found a lot of cool things to see. On our trip to the travel bloggers conference there (TBEX), event organizers treated to some pretty cool stuff. The third night was no exception. We […]
We recently hit Huntsville in northern Alabama as Travel Stars and found, much to our surprise, that the city was very cool. We did not have to explore the city on our own, thankfully. The people who organized the Travel Bloggers Exchange (TBEX) conference we attended did all the work for us. That is how, […]
Huntsville is a surprising little city in the northern reaches of Alabama. We visited from the West Coast of Florida, and so joked that we had gone north to visit the Deep South.

Smokey Mountain National Park was one my family’s favorite vacation destinations back when we all lived in the same house together. While we have each moved to our own homes, some far away, the park still resonates strongly in memories as a remarkable location. When I heard of the fires, I wondered how the area […]
The headlights illuminated the animal almost too late. Fortunately, the brakes were good and my reactions quick enough. A lucky coyote vanished into the darkness of the desert it might never have seen again. The coyote in the Desert Southwest of the U.S. wasn’t the first road hazard avoided and certainly not the last. Driving […]
The Wild West was an untamed land where with wide open spaces between, where one could travel endless and explore wild uncharted places. Of course, those days are gone. Or are they? This is a short tale of how we stumbled into the Wild West and Hollywood history without really meaning to. We needed to get […]
