Blog Giveaway



Yes, you read it right... I am giving away stuff... not the stuff in the previous blog. Oh no! This is brand new, just not recently, items which I have collected from around the world. It could be anything from a postcard, to a notebook, to something very unique!

IF you would like me to send YOU something, let me know. Reply twice to this blog. Once with a comment about where YOU would like to go on a dream vacation (NO! I am not giving away a trip!). 

This comment will be published.

Your second comment will not be published because you will be providing me an address for mailing. Snail mail. With stamps and everything. Foreign address are good too.

All addresses will be kept confidential.

Stuff will be chosen at random from a giant bag of geedunk I have collected.

This post has no expiration date, so if you read this a year from now, go ahead and comment, I will still have stuff.

If I had a magic wand...

I would be in this video

Since I'm not, I'm heading up to the Sun Valley/Ketchum area to shop for my first Scottevest items which I will be taking on my 11 day trip in October. Scottevest is carried only at one location, Silver Creek Outfitters, three hours away, but it's hot out, but it'll be cooler up in the Sawtooth Mountains.
I'm not an easy person to fit, so I'm going to try the Scottevest items on to see which size they say I am.

I'm going to try and not carry anything on the plane but my purse, and if you've listened to my podcast, you know that I don't travel gadget free, lol.



Full disclosure. I have no sponsors. Anything I review on here or on my podcast (Boise and Beyond Podcast) is paid for out of my own pocket, good and bad alike.

But if I did have a sponsor...

I Love Air New Zealand... look what they do

I've been on a plane with prisoners in handcuffs, with celebrities, and on a plane where everyone had a weapon, but never with endangered species which got their own seats!

Air New Zealand has the best safety videos in the world, if you've never seen them, just do a search for Rico or any of the ANZ videos.

I hope to fly with them again soon.

From my trip to San Francisco... it's a bit shaky, but worked. I hope it posts here.
