And then there's the awesome Amtrak train from Denver to Chicago I opted for - if you were getting your winter flights cancelled left and right (even the rebookings !), you, too, would opt for alternative travel to see your ailing mother and family in Missouri and Memphis !
So by way of American TRAINs it was - such a fantastic experience !
My train route was DEN - CHIC, then CHIC to MISSOURI (Poplar Bluff).
I was really happy with the comfy, super affordable Economy seat I had (comes with fully reclining feature, plug outlet for recharging all devices, drop table, foot rest, window seat with curtain, multiple cabin storage spaces, easy access to restrooms, access to lounges, lounge cafe, observation decks, dining car - all fantastic !
Next time I do long hauls, I would love to try a comfy private sleeper car for sure !

To help us cope with the loss of our dearest Uncle Raymond, some of us enjoyed some leisurely local sites and attractions.
It was a beautiful time to return to the Rondine piles just outside LV - and it was really nourishing to visit with family doing fun 'togetherness' memory making things.

I just love our NDN ribbon skirts here - the three of us look super cute in them ! We wore these for a local Rez funeral service we attended.
I wanted to take a photo together in this favorite Rez home kitchen - it has so many memories and history in it for me.
Wish we had Aunty Lulu, Sister Charlene, and Cuzzo Chrissy in our photo here as well.

Such a treat !
I truly do love this part of the world, and other regions that host fellow (and gentler) Evangelical believers - I learned many from Lancaster have relocated to upstate New York. That, too, would be a lovely visit for me to make.

I want to give my younger self a big warm hug. And I'm happy the iconic Brooklyn Bridge took a selfie with me this day.
If you think about why YOU travel, you might find the answers are visually there in your photos.
For me, I was making new connections. A dreamy and iconic NYC bridge was the perfect symbol of my life at that time.

Not complaining.
But glad international globe trotting is finally back in my life.
I've always had a U.S. Passport on me for nearly as long as I've been alive.
Not too long after I arrived in NYC almost 8 years ago
for some reason, l lost it in my wandering around Manhattan one night - and then never got it replaced until recently (thanks to a dear pal).
And with that: Lezzz Go !
Again.

And so is Hawaii - though we here in this little reel as fellow Polynesian Cultural Center dancer alumni are dancing a traditional aparima from Tahiti - written by Auny Regina Pasi, Music by Tia and Dallin Muti.
When we dance locally for each other in emotional support, it's an entirely different realm of expression and giving versus for show presentation (that we also love).

I, like the fun loving rambunctious wee little kids running around in there, found sheer joy in the midst of the final section's immersive video installation.
The Planetarium we sat in on (for Worlds Beyond Earth) was even moreso exquisite - life changing even.

45 countries.
That's how many nations I've visited - either for study, work, residing, or just for plain ol' joyous curiosity to goof off.
And with all that past and present experience under my belt, it's no surprise that I have opted to moonlight as a premier Travel Advisor recently in life.
Makes sense that I am.
Guests on this TRAVEL BLOG Page can read to find info based on two things:
1. The JOYS of TRAVEL;
2. The actual REALISTIC, EXPERIENCED tediously detailed specificities (that may NOT prove so joyful to prepare for).
I offer BOTH forms of info to help allay any troubling ambiguities in travel planning, and to offer FIRSTHAND and documented experiences that can hopefully dispel as many myths possible.
Surely, my FAM (or familiarization) TRIPS will feature here, but so will my own personal/professional and fun trips - every little bit of data/info helps a traveler!
Know that I plan on visiting many more countries, and even all of the same ones to locate spots and gain experiences that are new to me there. Hopefully, these of mine will be helpful to you.
Also feel warmly welcomed to travel for sheer rest toward Mental Health Wellness. In a past life of mine, I, too, worked the 9-to-5 grind and also enjoyed the luxury of world travel that came with. HOWEVER, even rest from that whole scene is essential - and I took it upon myself to truly REST, and travel differently - and even not far at all, more calmly, and with far more simplicity in mind.
Should you need some travel recommendations to, 'escape' from a chaotic life (paired with travel!), be confident that I know firsthand what that entails having once taken a lengthy break myself from all the typical career & travel perks 'noise' nausea burnout. I am here to help modify your itinerary to be more suitable for your emotional needs.
I got you,
-Kiri Chamberlin, Founder
