Off to New Orleans!
I'm headed to New Orleans early this morning for the next several days for a work-related conference. It's been many years since I partied on Bourbon Street, so I'm looking forward to hanging out there again.

Off to Key West!
Mrs. Lite Adventurer and I are taking a trip to Key West this weekend to celebrate our 1 year anniversary.

I normally … Continue reading Off to Key West!

None of us have been before, so we're excited for four full days of some great bands, roaming the fields of Manchester, … Continue reading Off to Bonnaroo!
Shout out to Mardo
Gotta give credit where credit's due. I didn't intuitively learn all these light packing techniques on my own; just like everyone else who has ever spent a lot of time honing a certain skill, I had plenty of help along the way. Going all the way back to childhood, I was never at any point a … Continue reading Shout out to Mardo
