Wrapping Up Our Lives, Again: A Behind-the-Curtains Story

January 23, 2020Filed in: Points of View by Tara Shubbuck

Packing our lives into a van

It’s been more than 7 years since I was on an overnight bus from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. At the time, I wrote about how my life was in the hands of yet another bus driver. What I didn’t know was that I was developing a bad throat infection at the time. (Probably strep throat, Read Post

An American Tourist Visits Iran

September 30, 2018Filed in: Destinations, Photos & Video, Travel Planning by Tara & Mike

He saw the opportunity to visit and took it, and now with the US travel ban extended through 2019, Read Post

An American Tourist Visits North Korea

August 26, 2018Filed in: Destinations, Points of View, Travel Planning by Tara & Mike

Although Tara and Mike love travel, there are still many (ok, maybe more than a hundred) countries that we haven’t been to yet, including North Korea. However, Mike’s brother Thomas not only made it there once, but had such a memorable experience that he went back a second time. Thomas seems to take gleeful pleasure Read Post

Plan a Beer Vacation in Washington, DC

January 28, 2018Filed in: Destinations, featured by Mike Shubbuck

We have paid a lot of attention to other cities and the possibilities they present for a fun beer-themed vacation. Now it is only fitting that we profile our hometown of Washington, DC and the beercation possibilities that it offers. There is already a lot to love about our nation’s capital, and finally, we can add its Read Post

Pugs Take DC 2017 Photo Gallery

December 3, 2017Filed in: Destinations, Photos & Video by Mike Shubbuck

This year brought even more furballs to DC for the second annual Pugs Take DC. As pug lovers (but not pug owners), this is a great time for us to gawk at our favorite type of dog. A couple “pawlebrities” even showed up and with most decked out in Halloween costumes, everyone had a great Read Post
