Footloose – Orlando, Florida – [04/07/2018]

Posted on April 7, 2018 by GypsyShaughnessy

If I had to live anywhere in the states, I’m starting to think I would choose Orlando. But then again, I suspect that is just the theme part nerd in me speaking. After a long long day of travel (ugh) … Continue reading →

Fretful Flying – Fort Lauderdale-Toronto-Fort Lauderdale – [04/03/2018]

Posted on April 3, 2018 by GypsyShaughnessy

Flying…I dream about having wings (literal actual wings) and flying dreams are amongst my favourite. They make my heart soar. But “real” flying? The kind you do in a plane? No, please no. Of course this comes as no surprise … Continue reading →

What’s New? – Buenos Aires, Argentina – [02/19/2018]

Posted on February 20, 2018 by GypsyShaughnessy

What’s new Buenos Aires? It still seems odd that this is actually somewhere I’ve been twice before. It seems so very strange sometimes to actually think of the places I’ve been, let alone the places I’ve actually managed to go … Continue reading →

Sand-brushed Peace – Daytona, Florida – [01/13/2018]

Posted on January 13, 2018 by GypsyShaughnessy

Even growing up next to the water, and working on the water, I’ve never been to a beach quite like Daytona. The hurricanes in the area, combined with the fact that the beach is open for recreational driving, have made … Continue reading →

On the Boardwalk – Daytona, FL – [01/07/2017]

Posted on January 7, 2018 by GypsyShaughnessy

One cab ride in the dark hours of Saturday morning, one overly complicated trip through airport security, three flights and two lay-overs (and one cup of very over priced airport coffee), and…And so it is that I end up in … Continue reading →

Back in Between – Somewhere over the West Coast – [12/20/2017]

Posted on December 20, 2017 by GypsyShaughnessy

“Gear up, three greens” I know that really it’s “gear down” but the misphrase has stuck in my head for so long it just stays there, unwilling to change. I still hate flying, but I still love take-offs, perhaps because … Continue reading →

The Disneyland Club – Yokohama, Japan – [10/15/2017]

Posted on October 16, 2017 by GypsyShaughnessy

He made the Disneyland club? No one makes the Disneyland club! Even *I* am not in the Disneyland Club! That’s what Silv said, years ago when I informed her that I was inviting Amras to accompany to Cali the next … Continue reading →

Delayed…Again… – Victoria – [08/13/2017]

Posted on August 13, 2017 by GypsyShaughnessy

Ah, airports, no matter how many times I walk your halls you do not get any more particularly pleasant, and I do not seem to have that sense of adventure associated with you that so many of my loved ones … Continue reading →

Bits and Pieces – Victoria, BC – [08/07/2017]

Posted on August 8, 2017 by GypsyShaughnessy

So, here I go again. How can it only be under a week before I head out? I’m all packed, which is nothing to sneeze at….now if only I could find my nametag, I swear I just had it… Air … Continue reading →

Wisdom – Juneau, Alaska – [07-21-2017]

Posted on July 22, 2017 by GypsyShaughnessy

We do not stop for harbour seals when they’re in the water because they are terrified of everything (rightfully so, they are near the bottom of the food chain), and we are not here to stress out our wildlife. ~ … Continue reading →
