Paradise Found at Hilton Conrad Rangali Island
I’m writing this while sitting at a glass desk, watching the fish swim beneath my feet (yes, the floor is glass as well) and thinking about the last 4 days we’ve spent at the Conrad Rangali Island resort in the Maldives. This has been my bucket list trip for years…to stay in an overwater bungalow in one of the most gorgeous places on earth…and it completely lived up to the hype and all my expectations.

Living Life Without Regrets
Back in late November, I was quickly approaching my retirement date, and wanted to send my “farewell” letter to those I was leaving behind at Lynden. It helps to explain why Jamie and I are doing what we are doing by selling our house and traveling the country in our RV full-time. I also hope it helps inspire others, not necessarily to do what we are doing , but to move forward in life being true to their authentic self.

Exploring Valencia during the Fallas Festival
While we were planning our trip to Spain, we decided to visit Valencia after our stays in Madrid and Alarcon. While looking up hotels, we were oddly surprised by how expensive the rooms were for a random night in March. Upon further investigation we discovered that the dates we had chosen fell during the Fallas Festival. Upon even further investigation of what the Fallas Festival was, we decided to extend our stay by a day to see it through to its conclusion. What is the Fallas Festival you may be wondering?
