The Ghost Ship of Kentucky
Petersburg, Kentucky isn’t known for much. Aside from the divisive Creation Museum, “a cathedral of willingness ignorance” as one TripAdvisior reviewer wrote, it’s a quintessential small town. Well, it’s not even a town but an “incorporated community,” and there isn’t much drawing tourists here. Paranormal experts and lookie-loos alike put this community on their map because of a supposedly haunted abandoned ship run aground in a backwoods river. The ship blips through the history pages like a nautical Forrest Gump, hosting Edison, Madonna, and two presidents, in addition to helping the fight in both world wars.

Where Should You Travel To After the Pandemic? {QUIZ}
Aaaaaaah, vacations. Remember when people relished time off, no work, and staying away from friends and family? In March, I thought quarantining was going to be like a vacation. Only two or three weeks, and the virus would be gone forever and we could go back to normalcy!

It was before midnight on July 25. Deafening noise and people everywhere. The party was in full swing on Carlisle Street in Soho.

Travel - Tempted, Terrified or Not For The Time-Being
OK I am going to admit my feet are seriously itchy and I have been busy travelling during my dreams - infact I've been pretty busy leading tours in my dreams as well. Never in my life have I travelled so little as this year and it is really starting to hurt. However, I am not sure if it is time to start travelling again yet. Whilst I am tempted to travel I still find some aspects of travel a bit of a terrifying thought.

RVlife
This is where we are parked and living at the present moment. A peaceful campground in Cochiti Lake, New Mexico. What you see in the picture is our home of 5 1/2 years. It’s not your normal home and not everyone can RV life or live on the road as a nomad full time; but after a couple of years, we found the new “normal” to us. My husband and I work remotely and follow the nice weather with our two adventure cats, Mango and Kali.
