The Flashpackers Guide to Traveling
After years of backpacking on a shoestring budget, we have now made a happy home in the US with jobs we enjoy, family close by, and mortgages we have to pay. But that doesn't mean the Travel Bug has gone away - in fact, with a reliable income, it just means you can go further in more comfortable fashion! This blog is intended to track our Flashpacking Journeys - goodbye cheap dorm beds, hello cheap hotel beds! Goodbye PBJs for dinner, hello PBJs for lunch! Goodbye two year excursions, hello two week excursions. Goodbye nights whiled away with cheap beer in a local pub.... nah. Just kidding! That's the best part. The entries will be few and far between, but we love reading back on our previous blogs and don't want to forget some of the amazing journeys we continue to create. After all, a ship in harbor is safe... but that's not what ships were built for...
