BACON WHORE! BACON WHORE? BACON WHORE.
BACON WHORE! No matter how I phrase it, I don’t think it is a compliment. For those of you who don’t know my eating habits I don’t eat too many different things for breakfast and most of them have a bagel in the equation. So today for breakfast I went to the fridge, grabbed my milk, a bagel from the freezer and took the last two pieces of turkey bacon in the fridge. I don’t have the time to cook the bacon on the stove but it tastes good enough cooked in the microwave. So after about a minute and a half I have the perfect breakfast: a bacon bagel sandwich…

Trip rant: LUV bites
Here is Lee’s rant after flying on Southwest (which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol LUV) for the first time since the airline took over AirTran service at our home airport in Wichita, Kan. You know the friend we all have who always says he will be there to pick you up at a certain time and it never fails: you get the ride but you are always late? Well my new friend who just moved into the neighborhood, Southwest Airlines, has become that guy. Yes, Southwest Airlines drives a little more expensive vehicle than my friend’s Ford Festiva but the concept is the…

Trip Guide: Sea Life Kansas City & Legoland Discovery Center
On our trips across North America, Central America and the Caribbean, we often seek out zoos, aquariums and other opportunities to get up close with wildlife and sea creatures. So when I heard an aquarium had opened in April 2012 in Kansas City, Mo., I was happy to finally have an aquarium to visit within a three-hour drive from our home in Wichita, Kan. Then I found out it was a chain … and I have to admit that I was a little deflated. Well, I shouldn’t have been an aquarium snob! While it’s not going to land in the Top 5 of U.S. aquariums, Sea Life Kansas City is…

I wrote my first guest post on another blog, The Traveling Tomato foodie site
My sister-in-law Elyse started a new website this summer with the help of my niece Abby, who is making a summer job of helping get the site populated. The site is a travel guide to finding restaurants that have menus friendly to vegetarians, vegans, folks avoiding gluten, paleo enthusiasts, those keeping kosher or people who just like food! I’m betting you fall into at least ONE of those categories, so check out The Traveling Tomato. And in case you are wondering what paleo enthusiast means, I had to look it up so I’ll share: paleo eating refers to a diet that mimics the diets of our caveman ancestors and includes meats,…

Trip pix: Favorite images from international trips
I recently found an online group called Kansas Women Bloggers. In case it’s not obvious, it’s a gathering place for women … in Kansas … who blog :) As a new blogger, I’m looking forward to getting to know the other bloggers in our state and hoping at least a couple will enjoy reading my blog. One of the features on the KWB site is Wordless Wednesday, and I try to participate as often as I remember to look for the week’s theme ahead of time. This week the theme was Get Your Passport — we were asked to share favorite images from international trips. I took a liberal definition…
