It's All About The Journey

"Really? You're kidding me. Just what we need. God dammit!"



Overhearing the flight attendant talking to the captain, we knew it wasn't good news. She tried her best to recover and inject a friendly bounce into her re-packaged delivery for passengers.



"Hi, folks. Once again we're happy to have ya on board. The captain has just informed me that we have a mechanical issue, so we're gonna be pulling back up to the gate. He'll have more information for you at that… Continue

Every Action Counts

World Humanitarian Day is this Friday. The theme – People Helping People – has us thinking about what we can do to help ease the torment in the Horn of Africa. The devastation seems overwhelming, almost insurmountable. What good can two guys in Seattle do? It's discouraging.



And then we remember the power of a simple action and what happened a couple months back.

Testing Expedia, Priceline, Travelticker and Voyage Prive

After a lot of posts from our camping adventure, it's time to talk about the other side of our travel equation - sleeping outside of a tent.







We love us a great travel deal. Maximizing value on the road is key for us, especially when searching for a hotel. We like to get our hands on incredible deals at decent places. When we can't, we book a budget accommodation and… Continue

From Glacier NP to Glacier Bay NP

We're settled back in Seattle after our adventure in Glacier National Park.



The camping and hiking were incredible, but those elements weren't the best part. Our time in the wilderness turned out to be an avalanche of inspiration and life lessons that allowed us to clear out the gunk in our heads and more easily lean into the power of intuition.

There's something about starting each day in a setting like this that recharged our… Continue
