Embarking on a Whisker-Filled Journey: Traveling with Your Cat

RV Adventures, Travel Tips, Traveling with a cat /

I come to you in this post as someone who has NOT in fact traveled much with his cat AT ALL … (other that a few trips to a friends to leave her there from time to time). I do PLAN to however this coming year. A lot perhaps! Been doing quite a bit of that sort of planning over on the 50at60 site where I plan on hitting up all 50 states in one year. THIS should be good. Not sure how often the cat will in fact join me. More often than not I hope, but that depends on how she travels. She is great in the car so I have high hopes and a positive attitude about it 🙂

50 States in one year – A quest to see every state as I turn 60

Itineraries, North America, Planning Guides /

I call it 50at60. In fact, that is the name of the site I decided to start, to share my research, planning, and documentation of this sort of what can only be described as a bucket list of sorts. As I have already been to most states (about 40 I think), some of these will be a revisit, but a visit none the less. And what exactly constitutes a “visit”? Well, to give it some sort of a bar to reach or metric, I have chosen a minimum of 36 hours spent in the state. I know, an easy achievement that I am sure I will surpass with most of these visits.

Colorado is an amazing place to visit! This was from my second visit to the Rocky Mountain National Park. An amazing place to visit ANY time of the year. Make sure and watch the weather report as it can change pretty rapidly. My trip through the park on this particular day had a range of about 40 degrees and ran the gammet from sun, to rain, to show. Gotta love nature though 🙂  And these lakes are a breeze to visit.

Waiting on a train in Avignon, France – And Photography the Lavender Fields of this Region

The power of lavender…..

I had never bumbled about this part of France until last year. Provence. Great food, incredible wine, lavender fields, rolling vistas….there must be something to this place to have attracted many of the great artists and writers, and I wanted to find out.

While researching this area before I left, wonderful images of vast lavender fields seemed to dominate the collections. How silly of me to realize that they are in full bloom in the early summer…of course after I arrived in September!
