Follow us on social media for the first line on our new adventures
Separate Coasts but Traveling Together
We're mother-daughter travel adventurers - Kathleen Hesketh, Ali Patton and Taryn Hesketh-Bingham. Welcome to our coast-to-coast travel site covering the U.S.
As travel agents, we love to travel and to explore new places, but we're also excited to find unique adventures close to home.
The problem is, Kathleen lives in Connecticut, Ali resides in Oregon, and Taryn resides in Utah. 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.
We'll give you a sense for 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.
And, as Disney travel planners we can't help but share our knowledge and experience visiting the world's best theme parks. If you have a Disney travel question, you'll probably find the answer on our site. If you can't find what you're looking, drop us a line at in**@se*********.net . We'll provide you an aswer as soon as we can.
So, now that you know who we are, why not use the site and follow our motto: Get Out. Explore.
