09.05.2026 12 Hour Layover

I was wrapping up my 41st birthday solo camping trip to North Cascade National Park. While at SEATAC airport, I sent a photo to my boyfriend, Trevor, and he offered to get me it as a gift. Thankful to God for him, mountain goats and pikas, and being able to experience the wonders of God's creation. Highlight: being able to swim in Diablo Lake on my last day. Never forget: spending my birthday eating with Trev near Sauk Mountain. Job 19:25-27 Best birthday ever.

Celebrated my friend's 40th birthday in Vegas! Delicious VIP good at Bouchon, a Tournament of Kings at Excalibur, and an evening helicopter ride along the Vegas strip (see photo.) We also ended with the Wizard of Oz show at the Sphere!   What a truly spectacular birthday weekend! August birthdays are the best!

Love fortnum and mason biscuits and was able to buy this in the duty free store during my layover.

Wish we could have seen the Taj Mahal but I would say staying at the DEL airport would count as a stop!    Next stop: Bhutan 

What a lovely 2 night stay in the capital city. I love how it felt like a small city, balancing modernization with traditional values. Beautiful, peaceful, and slow paced.
