Less Work, more Life... Balance
We're currently hanging out in Maine because I have a work assignment in glamorous Lewiston. That means when we get the itch to explore, we're on a tight time budget. So, we booked a quick 2-night escape to York, ME — and lucky us, we timed it perfectly. We rolled in with the sunshine, which, if you've ever experienced a New England spring you know sunny weather is rare.
Our last trip was our second time visiting French Polynesia. We hit a few new islands and revisited a couple of favorites. The hardest part of the whole experience? Choosing which islands to go to—not just based on what you want to see, but also on the logistics of how to get there. Island-hopping paradise takes a little planning.
This new assignment is somewhere I've been wanting to go for a long time, Maine! For the SUMMER! And the state flower is a PINECONE! (For the tattoo collection). Anyways, tomorrow we start an 8-9 day road trip from Tucson, AZ to Lewiston, ME. I plan on journaling everyday of the trip and posting right here. Please send me all your Maine suggestions if you've been.
If you live in Southeast Arizona, you probably know about the Sky Islands. Even if you don't live in SE AZ, you might have heard of them. The Sky Islands are isolated mountain ranges in Southeast Arizona, Southwest New Mexico, and Northern Mexico, surrounded by deserts and grasslands. These mountains range in elevation from 3,000 to 10,000 feet. Driving up Mt. Lemmon or Mt. Graham—two of Arizona's Sky Islands—is a unique experience and highly recommended.
