While it’s fun to gather around with friends and family to watch New Year’s celebrations on television and countdown to your timezone’s entry into the New Year, some people like to take it to the next level. There are several amazing places to enjoy the ringing in of the New Year and it just so happens that JustFly’s list of top holiday destinations includes many of them. I decided to take a look at my favourite places to celebrate the New Year … [Read more...]
Winding our Way to Andorra La Vella
We arrived at the summit pass between France and Andorra and were greeted by thick fog. Opting to pay the €6 tunnel fee (rather than driving up over the ridge on the old very windy road) we were very surprised when we burst through the tunnel into brilliant blue skies and sunshine radiating all around us. A long valley lay below us with jagged still snow covered peaks surrounding. It was like going from a June Gloom Malibu California day where … [Read more...]

Gold Mining and a Visit to Minelab’s Headquarters, Adelaide South Australia
One of my passions is gold prospecting, or as it is referred to in Australia, Fossicking. It is a healthy hobby as long as you don't get to obsessed with making money from it! I can remember going out with my father from a young age to explore some of his favorite mining terrain in the foothills of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains. With all the trips we have made I am fairly certain we have spent more time and money on logistics and equipment … [Read more...]

Sacramento & The Gold Country, Moon Handbooks
Sacramento & The Gold Country, by Christopher Arns Initial impressions of Sacramento perhaps: Inland. Old town. Brick buildings. The state's capital city. A good thing considering its somewhat central geographical location in the state, rather than being located in one of the major urban coastal areas. More recently occupied by a body builder, turned actor turned politician. But he has gone away now and there is a "new" governor - or rather an … [Read more...]

Keepers of the Wild Animal Rescue Sanctuary, Kingman, Arizona, USA

They likely drive right by Keepers of the Wild Animal Rescue Sanctuary, between Kingman and Valentine, Arizona, without much of a second glance. A very low-key entrance with one billboard out front and a small building … [Read more...]
Our Family’s History with Volvo – Anticipating the Volvo Factory Tour in Gothenburg Sweden
In anticipation of our Volvo Brand Experience tour at the Volvo factory in Gothenburg Sweden today (in conjunction with their Car + Vacation offering), I thought I would reminisce a little about our family's pleasant long history with this particular automobile. As long as I can remember, my family has owned a Volvo, usually two and sometimes three. But I did not receive my first Volvo until my last year of college. My sister let me use it for … [Read more...]
Accidentally falling in love with the California Zephyr
I haven’t always been enamored with trains. In my past travels, I had been on several rails both in the United States on the east coast and also through small parts of Europe. Those times however, I was too young and naive to appreciate the significance and beauty of a well-placed rail. Now, more than three months into my newly nomadic lifestyle and about 10 years since my last rail adventure overseas, trains have become a larger and more … [Read more...]
