Posted 5th March, 2016, By Scot and Emily, No comments

Canyonlands is the Rodney Dangerfield of the National Park system, isn’t it? I mean, this place would be incredibly famous if not for the Grand Canyon. And yet, unique and hair-raising adventures abound…from the precarious walk across the Mesa Arch to the white-knuckle drive down the Shafer Trail all the way into nearby Moab Utah. No trip to see Utah’s natural beauty is complete without checking this magnificent park off your bucket list.

Posted 27th February, 2016, By Scot and Emily, No comments

Small time rebels such that we are, we ignored the crappy (but hilarious) advice from the rental car guy, stuffed gas cans into the back of his Jeep Liberty and drove the infamous Dalton Highway to the Arctic Circle. In addition to finding out how that went, in this episode you’ll plug into the Wal-Mart parking lot, marvel at the #fakenorthpole and go birdwatching at Creamer’s Dairy.

Mysteries and more in Siem Reap, Cambodia
Posted 20th February, 2016, By Scot and Emily, No comments

Until about ten years ago people used to say, ‘Angkor what?’ But nowadays Siem Reap, Cambodia is near the top of every adventure traveler’s ‘must see’ list. That’s for good reason. People go for the renowned jungle temples, floating villages and exotic surroundings…but they come back to visit the amazing Cambodian people, who after so many years of pain just want to take their country back and be happy. By the way, listen closely as Scot fails to acknowledge the phrase ‘fifty-cent beer’ for the first time in his entire life!

Episode Eight–Wing-It Worldwide–Belarus

Soviet monument under construction in Minsk, Belarus
Posted 13th February, 2016, By Scot and Emily, No comments

Belarus is best known for being in the Opening Ceremonies parade at the Olympics. Actually, that’s probably not true. Nevertheless, it’s the most Soviet country left in Eastern Europe and that alone makes it incredibly interesting to visit. It’s also HARD to get a visa for, which is part of the reason why only 300 U.S. citizens go there every year. Well, that and not a lot of people even know it’s there, let alone plan a visit. Warning: we say the word “Soviet” about 200 times in this podcast, I think.

Episode Six–Wing-It Worldwide–Amritsar

India and Pakistan Border, On The Wagah, India Side
Posted 30th January, 2016, By Scot and Emily, No comments

Punjab state in India is home to Sikhs and theatrical border showdowns, yet it’s visited by relatively few Westerners…especially with infants. While others hurry off to Rajasthan, Mumbai or Agra, we were sure to head northwest to experience the wonder that is The Golden Temple. After that, it’s on to the nearby border town of Wagah to take in the bizarre but fantastic daily extravaganza put on by Indian and Pakistani soldiers. Fasten your seat belts and hang on, the Ambassador taxi is hurtling headlong down the road to adventure.
