Let’s Talk Houseboating

June 4, 2019 by Terri Marshall

  Sometimes we take our stories on air for the world to hear. It works well for me since I LOVE to talk! Here’s a link to my recent appearance on Travel Planners Radio Network where I share my version of the tales from our mishap-filled adventures while houseboating in Pennsylvania. No doubt Vanessa will … Read more

Battling Big, Bad Zombies in Beloit, Wisconsin

April 23, 2019 by Terri Marshall

Badgers are described as “ferocious fighters with an attitude that should not be bothered.” I mention this because Vanessa and I recently spent a few days in Wisconsin—the badger state. Coincidence? I think not. Although we are generally harmless—when left alone—there are times when our tendency to be ferocious fighters comes in handy. One such … Read more

Pinkies Up! Tea Time in Altoona

April 1, 2019April 1, 2019 by Vanessa Orr

By Vanessa I’ve always thought that the English tradition of having tea was lovely. Instead of grabbing something out of a vending machine or hitting up a fast food joint, stopping midday to have a warm drink and a scone or crustless sandwich just seems so damn civilized. So I was pleased while visiting Altoona, … Read more

How Cheese Curds Saved My Life: A Girls’ Getaway in Janesville, Wisconsin

March 13, 2019 by Terri Marshall

Often in our travels, Vanessa and I seek out ways to connect with the local community. Sometimes it’s through cultural events, other times it’s in cooking classes (which is a story for another day) and once in a while, it’s through crafts. We tried glass blowing in the Black Forest region of Germany where the … Read more

How To: Take Pictures of the Aurora with a Cellphone

March 6, 2019March 2, 2019 by Vanessa Orr

Now, we don’t normally have ‘How To’ stories on Every Road a Story, because let’s face it, Terri and I are the last people in the world who should be giving advice. But I’ve had a lot of people ask me how to use a cellphone to take photos of the aurora after our recent … Read more

Finding Peace in Times of Troubles

February 22, 2019February 22, 2019 by Vanessa Orr

Terri and I don’t do well when it comes to off-limits areas. In fact, if there’s a sign that says KEEP OUT or AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY, chances are we can be found on the wrong side of it. It’s not that we don’t understand the message. It’s just that it’s so damn tempting to find … Read more

A Night On the Moon, Sort Of

February 13, 2019February 11, 2019 by Terri Marshall

When you’ve arrived in Fairbanks, Alaska in January and your host asks if you would like to spend the night at Borealis Basecamp, you say yes…even before you know what that means. And then you look it up and realize you’re not just heading to a destination, you’re heading straight into an experience—one that you’ll … Read more

Stalking Bigfoot through Bilger’s Rocks

January 21, 2019January 21, 2019 by Vanessa Orr

Hearing Terri scream on a trip is not unusual. In fact, it’s usually par for the course when she falls up a set of stairs or tumbles off a compost toilet* or trips over, basically, most anything. And since I’m about as coordinated, we rarely get alarmed when the other one lets out a yell. … Read more

Vanessa & Terri Taste Scotland…Literally

January 8, 2019January 8, 2019 by Terri Marshall

Somewhere in Scotland… As bagpipe music pierced the air and young Scottish lasses swirled on stage, I was distracted by a somewhat more annoying, persistent sound. Vanessa: Psst. PSST! Terri (whispering): What? Vanessa: What’s that on my plate? Terri: Some sort of Scottish food. Taste it. Vanessa: I don’t know what it is. Terri: Just eat … Read more

Imbibing in Erie, PA

December 31, 2018December 31, 2018 by Vanessa Orr

Erie, PA is no stranger to awards; recently, its National Natural Landmark, Presque Isle State Park, was named as the best freshwater beach in North America and as Pennsylvania’s top attraction. And while these are worthy accomplishments, we wanted to see what other types of attractions the area had to offer—the kind that don’t make … Read more
