Me and my husband at Lewis Falls - Yellowstone National Park, August 2009.
My husband and I visited Yellowstone National Park earlier this year. We tend to over-prepare for any vacation we partake of, and the road trip that took us on a round-trip total of 3,026 miles was a fine example of obsessive preparedness.
Seriously, if you haven’t picked your pumpkin yet you’re about as big a slacker as the guy that waits until October 30th to write about a pumpkin patch. Let’s not judge.
Besides, calling Remlinger Farms a pumpkin patch is like calling Neil Diamond a singer. He’s an entertainer, people. Remlinger Farms is pretty entertaining, too.
The farm is located in Carnation, WA and is a self-contained family destination, minus the lodging. Luckily, Seattle is about 30 minutes away and they have a couple of motels along the freeway. Read More »
Muslims go to Mecca. Catholics go to the Vatican. Hard Rock fans go to an AC/DC concert. AC/DC has held its fans in a religious trance since 1973, when Angus and Malcom Young founded the band in Sydney. Since then, AC/DC has sold over 200 million albums worldwide.
And now, 36 years later, the Rock ‘n’ Roll train is still rolling, with last year’s release of AC/DC’s latest studio album – Black Ice. AC/DC is currently on a marathon 18 month Black Ice world tour, which started in late 2008, and continues well into 2010.
Angus Young
Adventure travel in the Himalayas or a safari in South Africa is tame stuff, compared to the roar in the stadium as Phil Rudd gets going on the drums and the absolute frenzy that breaks out when Brian Johnson and Angus Young hit their stride. It’s an awesome experience, and if you’re not doing any concert travel, then you’ll never know what you missed.
If you want to be touched by the magic, check out the venues and dates listed below, and get yourself some AC/DC concert tickets.
AC/DC concert dates & Phil Rudd
From Dec 2-6 they’ll be holding 3 concerts in Buenos Aires, and then they hit Asia-Pacific in early 2010, with concerts scheduled for Wellington and Auckland in New Zealand; back to their roots in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth in Australia; and then on to Saitama and Osaka in Japan in March.
Tomorrow may be Halloween, but if your town is anything like mine the festivities will be in full swing tonight as well. There are neighborhood parties and pumpkins to carve and apples to bob. And there are costumed children everywhere.
What does that mean to you? It means that whichever way your travels may take you this weekend you need to play it smart. Cabs, buses, subways – these are good ideas. In fact, the best costume in the room just might be the designated driver.
