Cloudy Day in Amman, Jordan

I get a lot of questions about photography. Sometimes I even get asked for photography advice, which is fun because I still feel like a total newbie myself. When BlogHer asked me to write a post on photographing summery things, I thought perfect! Let's show the world what I don't know!  Read more >

South Africa

Cape Town, South Africa might not be the first place you’d think of for a holiday break, but it was almost the end of winter here on the cold and dark East Coast and my kids were facing a long vacation from school and work. Why not cash in our frequent flyer miles and head to the Southern Hemisphere? We all needed a drastic change of scenery.  Read more >

Burj Al Arab Hotel

If you go to Dubai you will want to visit Burj Al Arab - probably the world's most luxurious hotel. The building is stunning and is a hallmark of Dubai's skyline.

Shark cage

Just thinking about it gave me an adrenaline rush. Take a boat ride out into “Shark Alley.” Get in a cage and stay there until a great white shark – yeah, like the one in “Jaws” -- comes by. Then… what? Hang out? See if the shark tries to take a bite out of my leg? Cool!  Read more >

Airline Seats

After the holidays are over, I get anxious to think about traveling I want to do just for me! Oh, sure, I'll take my family along, but it won't be to visit relatives or drive across the state of Iowa. I start thinking of riding on a jet plane. And then I look up flight prices and groan -- right after the holidays is the worst time to look at your savings account. Why do I do it to myself?  Read more
