Hell's Frozen over in Texas

 Hello All!

We are freezing in Texas right now. Literally experiencing a historic winter storm!! Does it usually get way below freezing where you're from? Texans have proved to not be prepared at all for this kind of event. I would love to hear in the comments how you cold-weather peeps deal with this!!!

Ok, let's travel!!!

I was really crossing my fingers in hopes that we would land somewhere tropical, and perhaps we could vicariously lounge at the beach.

However, we've landed at another beautiful European River location.

Aulne River, Brittany, France.


My first reaction to this photo was literally having my breath taken away from these hills. How beautiful and rolling the French countryside is!! The Aulne River is 89 miles long, and still part of a navigable canal with original locks and more modern hydro-electric dam.

Fly fishing is EXTREMELY popular at this location as the water way boasts large amounts of trout, walleye, perch, and salmon. There are plenty of guided services to help you learn to fly-fish or even to get you to all the honey holes. (Click to Fish )


Not a fisherman? There are 2 national parks located near the river, and many small villages and hamlets- each with their own unique culture and community. Can you imagine spending all day in a quaint French village with no worries? Bucket list. 
The city of Châteaulin is a beautiful town on the river with breathtaking historical sites and buildings. 


Okay, someone wish me luck. We better land somewhere tropical tomorrow!

Thanks for reading!

Viva, Almost Las Vegas

 My FIRST google earth travel with you guys :) Ok, so tonight I rolled the dice and it took us to...NEVADA. I have never physically been there before. I expected a desert location, and I was right. We landed in Henderson, NV at Sunset Station Hotel & Casino. Henderson is located SE of Las Vegas, and has nice mountain and desert vibes/views. Henderson is a town of approximately 300,000, and the casino is located next to a hospital and a high school.  This is a pretty good sized casino with GREAT entrance presentation and ample parking. It boasts its lounges, bars, and restaurants. Upon researching, rooms seem to be appropriately priced at $60/night and King Suites up to $210/night. The website indicated that they have socially distanced games, as well as increased cleaning due to COVID-19.  The crowd looked more mature, however, the events and GIANT ASS bowling alley prove to be attractive to the whole family. My first casino experience was at Winstar in Oklahoma, and I would say th

An Ocean Away

 Hello! Still freezing here in Texas. We are still fortunate to have electricity, however 4 million people in our state are without. What a weird, historical time we are living in. Let's try to warm our minds up a little bit. Tonight's wifi-enabled travel took us to Taoyuan District, Taoyuan City, Taiwan. I was under the impression that Taiwan was actually a part of China, however, I've been enlightened to their "ambiguous" status. Taiwan is claimed as a territory by the PRC (People's Republic of China) although they claim to have independence known as ROC (Republic of China). As an American, I find it not only vital but courteous to learn about worldly affairs and to keep oneself "in the know." Taoyuan is a active city area with cultural importance and vibrant city views.  Taoyuan City is located in the North section of the Island nation of Taiwan, which is to the east of China, located between the East China Sea and the South China Sea.  Consisting
