  • The Highest You Can Get High in Texas

    Not so fun fact, this was our last trip before the world shutdown. During our road-trip to Carlsbad Cavern NP and White Sand NM (it’s a designated a National Park now), we drove through El Paso on the 62. I remember asking my mom to drive because driving through this flat section was so boring…

  • Wowee, so this is Maui

    This trip was taken in January 2020. I remember I was at a friend’s birthday party a week before this trip and mentioned that Carolyn didn’t go because she didn’t want to get sick. She had just gotten over the flu and this was our first time in Hawaii, so neither of us didn’t want…

    This trip was taken on June 2022. We flew Southwest on our LIH-HNL flight to Oahu. I wish I could say it was uneventful, but it wasn’t. Somehow my ticket didn’t show TSA Pre-Check so I had to go in the regular security line. It was super busy this morning and the line was moving…

  • Eating and Sightseeing Through Kauai

    This trip was taken on May 2022. Returned from a 5 night Kauai and 3 (really 2 since we had an early flight back) night Oahu trip. Our redemption isn’t the best and honestly it kills me looking at the points usage. Quick backstory, I erroneously transferred 180k MR to ANA in hopes of it…

  • White Caves, White Sands, Green Cacti

    Decided a few weeks prior to Memorial Day to visit Guadalupe Mountains NP, Carlsbad Caverns NP, and White Sands NM. It was difficult finding a place to camp near Carlsbad Caverns NP in New Mexico. Additionally, I invited my parents since the trails we were planning on hiking were easy. I assumed my parents didn’t…
