We're mother-daughter travel bloggers - Kathleen Hesketh and Ali Patton. Welcome to our coast-to-coast blog covering the U.S.

We've always loved to travel and explore new places. We're especially excited to find new and unique adventures close to home.

The problem is, Kathleen lives in Connecticut and Ali resides in Oregon. We're on opposite coasts with an entire country between us!

Travel brings us together and let's us explore new destinations and experiences.

When planning our excursions, we like to know what to expect, but it's hard to find that level of detail when researching new places to go and things to do. Travel guides and tourism sites are no substitute for personal experience.

That's why we started Seconds to Go. We thought if we could chronicle all of our adventures in an easy to search format, we could save others time.

To make it easy and quick to find things to do, we've broken each outing into a "trip". On each trip page we'll provide you with a detailed write up on where to go and what to expect when you get there.

In the sidebar, we'll tell you how long each outing will take. Trips can be tackled singly or put together to create a longer excursion. We'll even tell you what's nearby.

We've been playing a lot with the structure of the site and the information we provide, so if there is something you'd like to see, let us know.

We're currently cover a lot of New England and Oregon, but our plans are expanding so watch for new additions in our coast-to-coast blog. We also provide a travel tips section to help you prepare for any outing.

So, now that you know who we are, why not use the site and follow our motto: Get Out. Explore.
