Jen generously donated me some blog time to share about my weekend camping trip to Ricketts Glen State Park, which is about 30 miles north of Bloomsburg on Route 487..

Sitting here in my cubicle, the camp-fire smell is still in my hair, a few bug bites are a bit itchy and my quad muscles are still sore from a hike to see most of the park's 22 named waterfalls ... but those are my biggest complaints about the weekend.

A couple of friends suggested the park as an ideal spot for camping, and I wasn't let down.

My friend and her husband spotted this sign in Guanajuato, Mexico, during a trip there in May. When she showed it to me earlier this evening, I knew I just had to share it here on the blog.

Great. There's no other way to describe it. Thanks Pau!

My first occasional guest post comes from co-worker Nicki Stiger of Glen Rock, who honeymooned on a Royal Caribbean Cruise to the Bahamas last month. You probably know her as Nicki Lefever, CheapEats girl, food guru, iced-coffee addict or some such.

Anyway, in this picture she's standing in front of an aquarium that she and her new husband couldn't figure out how to get to.

"We must have been close, because you can see it. We were too stubborn to ask," she writes. "It's a HUGE place worth a peek, but if you aren't a guest there, some areas are restricted."

Her travel tip: If you go to Atlantis, don't be afraid to ask how to get around. We took a taxi from the dock to the resort. When we got there, we just wandered around.

Much as I love to be outside and travel near and far, sometimes that doesn't happen as often as I'd like. My reasons are probably the same as yours:
*Money's tight
*I don't get enough vacation days
*Too busy on the weekends

I'm not a fan of excuses, but the reality is that I haven't been able to get out and play nearly as much as I'd like lately. I don't want you, my dear readers, to suffer for lack of interesting adventures to read about, so I'm going to do something about it.

I'm going to occasionally invite friends and co-workers to send me a snapshot and the scoop from someplace cool they've visited.

It will be kind of like the Wish you were here feature that, by the way, is one of the most popular categories on this blog. (If you've been somewhere and have a picture, what are you waiting for? Send it in and share!)

More adventures + more places + more faces = More posts for you to read, more info you need to know, more ideas of things to do and places to go.
