Happy New Year! We've been thinking a lot this past week about where we've been and where we want to go. It's been almost two years since we've been to Italy and we hope that 2012 takes us back there.

One unforgettable view we had on our last trip was not in Italy itself, but the hilltop country of San Marino. Above the clouds, it seems like the perfect virtual spot to dream about distant lands.

Where are you dreaming of traveling to this year? If you're dreaming of Italy, we've written a lot on the subject. Dig through our Italy archives or drop us a note if you need help making your Italy dreams come true.

As the year winds to a close, we've been thinking a lot about where we've been this past year. Our conversations keep returning to food and these bright red crawfish called me to as the offbeat mascot of this holiday season.

One of our most salient memories from this past May was attending the Crawfish Festival in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, the self-proclaimed crawfish capital of the world. It was hot, humid and not a cloud in sight. We sipped daiquiris out of necessity, tapped our feet as Zydeco music filled the air, and sat down to a basket of some of the best crawfish we'd ever tasted. All the while, creating an unforgettable travel experience.

Where has your year taken you? What's the best meal you had in your travels? And, check out this post on Louisiana cuisine if this photo leaves you hungry.

Somedays we all need a little travel inspiration and what better place to put it other than right your desktop. I've done a lot of local travel this fall, including a whirlwind trip down the coast of Oregon and boomeranging into the interior to see Bend and Portland. I saw lighthouses, ice cream, waterfalls, seafood and some of the best beer in the United States. (More on all of that in the coming weeks.) Goonies fans might recognize this view at Ecola State Park just south of Astoria, OR where countless movies have been filmed. I imagine right now it's misty and rainy, but on a crisp September day it was shimmering in golden sunlight. I highly recommend a visit.

Somedays we all need a little travel inspiration and what better place to put it other than right your desktop. I just spent a few days at Iron Springs Resort at Copalis Beach, WA. I'll be sharing that experience with you later this week, but until then you can enjoy this sunset over the Pacific Ocean for the entire month of October.

Enjoy!

Somedays we all need a little travel inspiration and what better place to put it other than right your desktop. Since summer is winding down here in the northern hemisphere, I thought we'd appreciate one last look at the beach. This photo is from a brief stop in Gulfport, Missisippi on our way to New Orleans. What beaches have you seen this summer and what ones do you hope to escape to this winter?

Somedays we all need a little travel inspiration and what better place to put it other than right your desktop. I'm a week late, and for that I apologize, but it's summer so I think you'll forgive me. This month's calendar is a bit abstract and a bit green, but it's a shot of the outdoor earth sculpture by Michael Heizer at The Menil Collection in Houston, Texas. We'll be sharing our experiences with you soon

Enjoy!

Somedays we all need a little travel inspiration and what better place to put it other than right your desktop. I just got back from a cherry tour in Eastern Washington, where I photographed these lovely cherries, freshly picked and waiting to be delivered to a store near you. I love planning travel around the seasons, particularly when it comes to food. If you're wanting to taste Northwest cherries straight from the tree, hop on a plane and get out there!

Enjoy!

Desktop Calendar: June 2011

Somedays we all need a little travel inspiration and what better place to put it other than right your desktop. For June, I've chosen an unusual spotting in Houston, Texas from our recent roadtrip (stories and food pics, coming soon!) This eye-catching street art decorated shops across the street from an excellent (and cheap!) spot to grab breakfast, El Gallo De Jalisco.
