To help anyone traveling to Guam, Saipan and Tinian (both in the Northern Mariana Islands), here is an outline for our trip there in November 2017.Β  We traveled to Guam from the U.S. mainland via Honolulu, Hawaii.Β  We arrived late in the evening, picked up our Thrifty rental car and drove to our hotel - the Days Inn Guam, where we crashed for the night.Β Β 

NOTE: Unfortunately, not all of the photos made it over in the import. We’ll fix this after our big trip.

Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania (Oct 2018)

(Jen took this part of her trip solo in October 2018).

Recently, a friend of mine, who I met in Antarctica and who has traveled all over the world, asked for recommendations for a tour guide company for his trip to the Baltics (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania).

Alaska (Jul/Aug 2018 and Jun/Jul 2019)

Alaska is a beautiful state, full of mountains, glaciers, and wildlife. In the summer of 2018 and again in 2019, we spent two-weeks exploring the National Park units there. Alaska is an expensive place to visit and finding information on how exactly to visit these park units can be difficult. As such, I have put together this resource guide not only documenting our trips, but providing the information and links I gathered in hopes of helping future Alaskan adventurers. Due to the parameters of posting Articles in this Questing Community, this resource guide is broken up into a four-part series.Β  I hope you enjoy and benefit from the information and the stories I have outlined. Keep in mind, there may be many other ways to visit some of these places. This guide only outlines the adventures we had and the outfitters we used or gathered research on.
