Forgive me. I sent out this post early, then put it back in the queue to come up on its usual day. If you're reading this and feel you've read it all, you haven't. Just skip on down to Wednesday or Thursday and you can finish off the week with me. I'm sorry for my mix-up. I've been having a terrible time with focus lately because I am NOT writing down lists but storing too many thoughts at once in my brain. Silly me.

Clambering up gypsum sand dunes in White Sands National Park in New Mexico, I half expected to see Will Smith dragging an alien in a parachute across this other-worldly landscape, like a scene from Independence Day.

The glistening white of the sand makes the sky seem even bluer, creating a contrast that is simply stunning. Visiting White Sands National Park in New Mexico was the highlight of our recent trip to the Southwest and definitely one of the most beautiful places in New Mexico. Ever since I heard that you could sled down the sand dunes at...

I was sitting in the Miami airport on my way back from my Royal Caribbean cruise when I saw a woman walk by with four wide-brimmed sun hats stacked on her head. FOUR! Now there was someone in desperate need of a packable sun hat for women (or four.) I understand wanting to look cute on vacation, but nothing will find me striding through the airport with four hats on my head.
