Hiking to Beat Multiple Myeloma
There are so many great memories of our week of hiking in Alaska to raise money for the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation that were captured in this video. Check out the film! #MMRF #MultipleMyeloma #Alaska #hiking Miir All Day Straw Cup
Lolita loves her new @miir All Day Straw Cup! And I love it too--keeps drinks cold and doesn't spill. The hard plastic straw inside attaches securely to the flexible black mouthpiece. Great for the gym and the office. It fits great in my Jeep cupholder. Disclaimer: got a free sam Argentina Travel
Argentina exceeded my expectations in so many ways, especially the natural wonders of Iguazu Falls (so big! You've never seen falls like this, I promise) and Bariloche, a wonderland of blue lakes around every corner and fantastic hiking in Northern Patagonia. I've posted a few ar Hokkaido by Train
Check out the Amateur Traveler #podcast , where I talked about how we used public transportation all over #Hokkaido , #Japan . It's a wonderful place for #hiking and getting away from the crowds. Three Hikes in Daisetsuzan NP, Hokkaido, Japan
Hokkaido, Japan was one of our favorite stops. There's so much natural beauty and wide-open spaces. Daisetsuzan National Park is a gem. They have "onsen towns" in the park with a few hotels and a ropeway (cable car) up the mountain, including Asahikawa Onsen, where we stayed.

It's hard to imagine a more beautiful place than the Bariloche/Lakes region of Argentina in northern Patagonia. With hiking, skiing and a multitude of of other adventure sports, I could spend a lot more time here. #travel , #Argentina #Bariloche #Patagonia Backpacking Hetch Hetchy
Hetch Hetchy is a wonderful hike that can be short or long in spring or fall when the temperatures are mild. I did a two night trip to Rancheria Falls get my legs ready for the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne, which I did a few weeks later. My favorite parts of the Hetch Hetchy hike Explore the Wild Side of Yosemite
Here are three areas of Yosemite where you might be able to beat the crowds for a day hike and for sure, if you have a wilderness permit and camp out for a night or two. #yosemite #hiking #backpacking #travel #California Plugs and Power for Travel
I sometimes see people getting mixed up between plug adapters and voltage converters. Anyone going overseas from the US should see what kind of plug adapter they need because most likely, they'll need one. But not many devices require voltage converters anymore.

The 3-day tour to the Sahara Desert & staying in the Berber camp was the highlight of our trip to Morocco last year. I loved it so much that I'd do it for 4-5 nights next time. #travel #morocco #berbercamp #Sahara Guidebooks or Internet?
Does anyone still use guidebooks for travel? I tried not using one last year in Spain and Portugal and found a lot of junk on the internet I had to plow through. There's still a lot of value in a guidebook. Everyone goes to Machu Picchu when they visit Peru but there's a vast northern part of the country that holds the key to one of the earliest civilizations in the world. #travel #Peru #precolumbian #preinca #trujilloperu #Cajamarca #mancorabeach #piuraperu Traveling by Train through Morocco
Traveling by train through Morocco was a relaxing and enjoyable way to see the countryside.
