Travel: Omaha Transit
Omaha transit – the best (and cheapest) way to travel around Omaha. We took the ORBT up to Target, and took the standard bus to the zoo, the farmer’s market, and to the gardens. The schedule is reliable and the public transit in Omaha is way under utilized. It’s not like the L-Train in Chicago, but Bryce and I were shocked how little local residents used the bus. It’s $1.25 a trip, so very cost effective. Okay, let’s checkout some photos. Omaha Transit First, the…

Travel: Fraser Island Snapshot
Fraser Island snapshot – known as K’gari, it’s a world heritage site and has spectacular views.

The similarities were wild. If…

The drive to Kinka Beach is about 4.5 hours and being gluten free, I often plan our lunch stops ahead (if not packing a lunch). On this slightly remote drive we were pleasantly surprised by the…

Travel: Cape Hillsborough Snapshot
Cape Hillsborough snapshot – such a beautiful national park in a remote part of Queensland. If you’re looking to disconnect, hike, and enjoy some downtime, then visit Cape Hills.

Cape Hillsborough Snapshot With three trails leaving right from the campground, we had two days where we didn’t even drive our car! Nope, just suited up,…
