Travel Diary #20.4: Antelope Canyon – A vivid saga of sun and sand
Day 6: Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend, Sep 23rd 2021 There was one thing that we were very good at during this trip – our punctuality. We stuck very well with the timing that was agreed upon among the three of us. This day was no different. We checked out of our Airbnb right on…Read more Travel Diary #20.4: Antelope Canyon – A vivid saga of sun and sand
Travel Diary #20.3: Bryce Canyon National Park – Poetry in stone
Day 5: Bryce Canyon Nation Park, Sep 22nd 2021 Ok, first thing first, Bryce Canyon is technically not a canyon. It is not carved by a river like others. Instead of that, it is an amphitheater of dramatically eroded vividly colored limestone of pink cliffs. These long, towering vertical spires protruding from the bottom of…Read more Travel Diary #20.3: Bryce Canyon National Park – Poetry in stone

Travel Diary #20.1: Vegas – Sin City
This trip happened just like that. I pinged Meena and Ravita in the last week of August to go on a trip together and surprisingly by next weekend we had all the bookings done. Everything just fell into the place – office leaves, flight tickets, Airbnb bookings, car rental – everything. I was so glad…Read more Travel Diary #20.1: Vegas – Sin City
Travel Diary #19: Scenic Idaho
Idaho trip was on the cards for the fourth of July weekend, but we were unable to get any Airbnb reservation. The ones available were so exorbitant that it was nonsensical to spend that much. So, we decided to take a day off and visit the place a couple of weeks ahead. Trip started with…Read more Travel Diary #19: Scenic Idaho
Travel Diary #18: Yellowstone – The Restless Giant
This Memorial Day wasn’t red, white or blue for me. It was painted all yellow 😉. Yes, I went to Yellowstone National Park this weekend. There was a surprise change of plan. We had planned for Idaho but at the last minute we got an Airbnb option available in Pray, Montana. This pushed us to…Read more Travel Diary #18: Yellowstone – The Restless Giant
Travel Diary #17: Oregon – Painted by the past
After more than a year of staying at home, it was a welcome relief to see something beyond the blue walls of my house and the well-trodden paths to Costco and Walmart. We drove to Bend, Oregon to spend an extended weekend there. We stayed there for 2 nights and traveled to Painted Hills, Crater…Read more Travel Diary #17: Oregon – Painted by the past
