2025 – Livin’ the Dream for Two

In February of 2024, Earl died while he was scuba diving on a normal Saturday. There will always be a before and after that date. A lot has changed since then, international travel is a bit to hard to do right now, but ready to start again in 2026 to live the dream for both of us.

2020 – New url – More Adventure

The story of this blog is a story of the ups and downs of travel. After not having done a lot of travel over the past few years, coming back from a fabulous trip to Fiji made me realise that we really needed to update this blog to add it. Unfortunately, in the meantime notinks.com domain name expired so, now we are at notinks.blog.

2016 – Settled in Australia

After 2 years of moving from Kansas to Florida then from Florida to Melbourne, Australia we are settling in here in Australia.

The dogs arrived safe and sound from the US and have now forgiven us for the quarantine and all the transitions.

Now we are both enjoying all the things that Melbourne, Victoria and Australia have to offer.

Looking forward to re-activating this blog again with new travel content.

2015 – Year of Transition

Jeanette – Consulting Executive (doesn’t the title sound fancy), still working for Cerner and learning something new and watching old habits die hard everyday.  For the next few months I am working mostly from home (haven’t had to take the dry cleaning in for 2 months!) and driving from Naples to Tampa.

After the years spent on the plane and in airports, it has been a big change to work at home and working with people remotely.  Great chance to make sure that I keep self motivated and busy here in Naples.  Getting excited about a move to Melbourne, Australia in late 2015/early 2016 and to have someone to do my laundry for me again.  (Sorry honey. 🙂 )

Earl – Hmmm…I am in Melbourne missing my wife and pining for her while deciding what gadget I can buy next and becoming obsessed with Aussie footy. (written by wife, since I am sure he forgot his password to WordPress)…we’ll see how long this stays.

2010 – Blog Begins

Jeanette:
I live in Kansas, but feel like I am almost never home.  Still believe that there is “No Place Like Home”, but am ready to share my experience of almost 10 years as a traveling consultant, who is burning up those frequent flyer miles to take a 30-day trip around the globe.

Earl:
Project Manager and self professed gadget freak. I have traveled all over the United States, Canada and the Middle East for work. Lucky to be married to the most supportive and enabling wife ever. Looking forward to our trip around the world and sharing the adventure with everyone.

I think that what will make our blog unique is that most travel blogs are written from one perspective. Ours will have input from us both (for as long as Jeanette gives me permission ;)~
