Ten years ago, just driving past an airport was enough to trigger a panic attack, and make me physically ill. If you want to know how phobic I once was, read the first part part of this post about my fear of flying. Today I fly regularly, and often, without stress! Getting to where I am…
How I Overcame my Fear of Flying & Became a Travel Writer
Ten years ago, just walking into the airport sent me running for the restroom. If you knew me a decade ago, you’d probably find it difficult to believe that I now travel as much as I do. In the past two months I have flown on three small prop planes. Two in the wake of…
Apple Picking and Cider Sampling in Oak Glen
If you grew up in North East quadrant of the USA, fall doesn’t always feel like a season in sunny Southern California. Unless of course, you are willing to drive for an hour and a half. It’s good to know that you can experience cooler, crisper air and seasonal foliage color changes in nearby Oak…
Quirky Charm and Clever Cocktails at 29 Palms Inn
One day in Joshua Tree is probably not enough. There’s just so much to see do (and eat) in the area that even as a nearby local, it makes sense to spend a little longer and save yourself the night drive home. My new favorite is the 29 Palms Inn. Thanks to Visit San Bernadino…
Revolutionary Fare & Activities at Riley’s Stone Soup Farm

Blame the construction, the congestion, and the sheer number of…
29 Palms Creative Center for Those Who Like to Take a Walk on the Arty Side.
Mystical, magical Joshua Tree is known for the ability to inspire. This nature’s playground often feels like a cosmic artist’s canvas, stretched from horizon to horizon. It isn’t surprising that artists have been flocking to the desert for generations, drawn in by the vivid sunsets, velvet night skies and pastel smudged hilltops. The 29 Palms…
A Walk in the Park at Joshua Tree
Joshua Tree, like many of our great National Parks, is a massive open space that offers unlimited opportunities for exploration. This can be quite overwhelming to local daytrippers like myself. One of the reasons we have hesitated each and every time we’ve started to plan a visit, is the lack of answers to the most obvious…
San Bernadino’s Spectacular Alpine Zoo
There are so many things I am excited to return to San Bernadino County for. The Big Bear Alpine Zoo is at the top of that list. I’m almost ashamed to admit that I have lived in California for almost two decades but I have not ventured out very much into San Bernadino county. I…
