They share stories of rebellion, of being headstrong, they tell us about how they broke the rules, … Continue reading Our journey to the colorful Santa Fe
On Thursday May 23rd Aliza and I cruised highway 95 up to Las Vegas to check out our RV, check into to the Oasis Las Vegas RV Resort and set up camp for the incoming ladies (we made a dancing Vine HERE).

A newbie to the world of distilled liqueurs, I'll soon be devoting my research to not only whiskey, but whiskey in the West and the women who helped shaped that history. I'll be searching out the kinds of women you'd find.. perhaps drinking a glass of whiskey to feature in the upcoming Whiskey Sister Herstory Tour. I … Continue reading The Whiskey Sister HerStory Tour Begins…
I stepped into the Rocky Mountain for the first time since August of 2013 and took a deep breath. When I left last September, I had no clue when I’d be back again, a feeling I’m often faced with. Crisp air laced my lungs, it was pure and wonderful. In Phoenix that morning while waiting to board the … Continue reading Good Vibes in Colorado

September 10th, 2013 Since last post in Puente de la Reina > Ventosa (84km) 52.6 miles. I got my first blister. It’s just a simple one between my middle and second toes. Flip-flops are a blessing in the afternoons. I had to learn to lance the blister with a needle, clean it, use the proper antibiotics, … Continue reading Simple Pleasures
