The Big Island, Part 1: Volcanoes, Lava, and an Eerie Hike
Hello Bloglandia, Well this is weird. I'm writing a travel post. After how long? After two and a half pandemic years, which is about three thousand years in what-it-feels-like time.

Finn McSpool is Packing His Bags
Hello Bloglandia! I know it's been a while since we've heard from the wee Irish monster, but Finn McSpool is alive and well (meaning, his stuffing hasn't fallen out...often a fatal illness for Beasties).
