#Throwback to hiking the most breathtaking natural

#Throwback to hiking the most breathtaking natural arch in the world, the Delicate Arch in @archesnps @visitutah.

No trip to Utah is complete without seeing the state's most iconic landmark! I had always seen the Delicate Arch image appear on my TV via Google Chromecast and knew it was big, but experienced in person, this arch has the ability to startle the senses and surprise the mind. The moment I turned the corner and finally caught a glimpse of the arch, I got goosebumps. It is spectacular! No picture I have ever seen does it justice. You really have to be there to witness the grandeur and beauty of this stunning formation. This hike may even be the highlight of your tour of the Utah National Parks!

The trail to the Delicate Arch is 3 miles roundtrip. It is ranked as a moderate hike because of the lack of shade, the uphill climb on top of the slickrock, and the navigation required by following the cairns. BUT, for those in Texas who've hiked the Enchanted Rock, it wouldn't seem all that difficult. 😁

Yes it's true, Diwali is finally over. The festiva

Yes it's true, Diwali is finally over. The festival has gone as suddenly as it had arrived. The colorful diyas now turned into tiny pools of melted wax. Rangolis in some homes are still radiant, but slightly disheveled.

Is Post Festival Withdrawal Syndrome a thing? What do you do after a week-full of colorful rangolis and lighted nights? I bake these melt-in-the-mouth Nankhatais for our chai time. 😁

Diwali 2020: Got dressed up after ages, sat with our closest friends, sang, ate and made merry. It was so much fun! 🎉

Hope you all had a good Diwali. ♥️

So it turns out sharing food over Zoom is hard. 😁

Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating! ✨

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FOLKS! 🎃

There was a time when 'Rosie the Riveter' was a huge deal and achievement for women. But today, Rosie can be anything else she wants. Rosie can be a techie, or a dancer, or a homemaker. She knows her worth.

Let's be proud of where we are and what we have achieved. Be hopeful for a better future. And last, but not the least, be our own version of Rosie!! ♥️

Stay safe, have fun!

Hello Earth, I ♥️ you!

These sedimentary rock formations - something Bryce Canyon National Park is most famous for - are called "the hoodoos". But they're also sometimes referred to as "goblins" or "fairy chimneys". How eerie, ethereal and enchanting! They truly live up to their names. ✨

Now that I'm back home, kinda missing this RV that we called home for the last 12 days. 🚙♥️

Choosing #RVing rather than the usual car and hotel combination turned out to be the best decision for us. It combined the freedom of road tripping with the cozy creature comforts we’re used to. #RVtravel truly is the best of both worlds!

It was like a hotel on wheels but without any of the pain that comes with check-in/check-out, packing/unpacking and moving around luggage from one hotel to another. For longer journeys, especially national parks, we would pick an RV without second thoughts. It came with unique experiences every day, and a few challenges, too. More on that later. 🙂

Was browsing through old pictures on my phone and stumbled upon this video of a sunset I took on our last cruise to Alaska.

Sunsets while cruising are everything! I love that sight and the sound of the wind and the ocean. 🌅

I REALLY miss traveling. Our last trip was during the Thanksgiving break and honestly, it didn't seem to bother me much until now. I survived. But now, the lack of a travel plan, something to look forward to, and this routine is beginning to get to me. 😓💔

Have you started planning your travels? Where do you want to go as soon as it's safe to travel?
