I don’t know what I can say about New Orleans that hasn’t already been said by people far more talented and observant that I am, but I feel compelled to capture our last visit before too much time passes and too many other cities fill my brain. We came in from Gulf Shores, Alabama, and… Read More The Allure of New Orleans
We are technically one whole quarter into 2026 and our 3rd season of Faux Birding, but we are really only kicking off the nomading portion of our adventures now. We wanted to spend the first part of this year exploring more of Florida, and for the most part we were able to see and do… Read More Florida Finale: a travel log of sorts
This post had to wait until April 3, 2026 because it’s capturing the last of an era for our family. For over 25 years we have been Akamites, members of the Akamai family. But today that ends actively. We are now Akamai alumni, and we are now starting a new chapter, one where our time… Read More March, the very beginning of April, and the end of an era
Yep, it’s the shortest month. But even with that, this February seemed to go by extra quickly. We squeezed a lot of travel, fun, and work into February. We also stayed in touch with the family as we all scattered about, kids in Europe & the UK, mom and dad on a cruise to Mexico… Read More February (aka: a blur)
Our third year of traveling is off to a banger of a start! January may have felt long, but we packed a lot into the month, starting with lots of family time, in person with my folks, and video connections with the kids. We ate well in January, enjoying dinner out together with friends at… Read More 2026 Faux Bird Season 3
Our last days in San Miguel were lovely. It included a holiday and two days off for Larry, so we got to play. Our good friends, Carrie and Max, came down to spend the holiday with their family here, and they were gracious enough to fold us into the bunch. (Carrie and I worked together… Read More Adiós, México
We’ve been in San Miguel de Allende for one week already. There is a lot of culture, history, and art to take in and appreciate. I love that we are pacing ourselves because we have the luxury of a month to explore what is quickly becoming one of our favorite destinations. We aren’t alone in… Read More The hidden world of San Miguel de Allende
¡Estamos en Mexico! We arrived yesterday afternoon after a long and uneventful day of travel. An extremely early flight out of Nashville had us stay overnight at the airport Hilton (highly recommend!). All aspects of the airport and flight went smoothly. We had a long layover in Dallas, but had lounge access so we were… Read More San Miguel de Allende
After returning from St Maarten, we closed the camps and tucked them in for the winter. Then our winding path from New Hampshire to Florida brought us down to Massachusetts (to say bye to Tam and the pups), then Pennsylvania (for a day visit with Milan and Sadie), then to Virginia for a workday, and… Read More Tennessee in three parts
As we wrap up our time in New Hampshire and prepare to return to Florida we have a rather nontraditional route plotted out. First stop on this winding little road was the island of Sint Maarten. We were fortunate enough to be invited to join four of our very best friends for a week in… Read More Nomading Caribbean Style
