Getting ready for a trip can be time consuming, right? I know I often feel rushed and do not relax until I am onboard with my seatbelt buckled. An extra delay in the process is the last thing we want. Unfortunately, for some there is a hold-up that is both unwanted and unexpected when the […]
I have written rather extensively on our National Parks. Looking back on some of my posts, I noticed that I have never written about what makes the entire park system exceptional and worthwhile for anybody to visit. Located all over the country, there is likely to be one of these national wonders convenient to you. […]
When I think of Canada it is primarily about its western coast or of the Canadian Rockies. Vancouver, located on the coast, is one my favorite large cities. Lots of things to do! It is walkable and has top-notch restaurants. It is also the embarkation point for numerous cruises and rail journeys. If you are […]
I’ve written (rather extensively!) about both Amtrak and the Rocky Mountaineer. Specifically, I’ve described why I love them and why I would recommend them to anyone looking for a great rail experience. I have never traveled VIA nor have I posted about it.

Visiting one of our National Parks is almost a rite of passage in some families! It is also one the best family vacations in existence! Couples, singles, and friend groups enjoy it as well. There are so many parks in the US and they are a varied bunch. There really is one for nearly everyone! […]
I love trains, do you? I love all types of trains from basic to luxurious. I have ridden both and have to say that for the money Amtrak is the best. It is not luxurious – there is nothing upscale or elevated about this carrier. They do, however, provide a good service at a reasonable […]
We live in a wondrous time- the 21st century offers so much! There are times, however, when slowing down the pace sounds fabulous! There is so much noise in our lives and it can be hard to get rid of it. Traffic, car horns and other noises can be overwhelming and serenity can be […]
While we have been to Peru, our explorations were close to the Pacific Ocean, including Lima. We had a wonderful time- this is a diverse and beautiful country. We did not view Cusco and Machu Picchu however–another trip perhaps! If you are interested in seeing Machu Picchu but hesitating due to the altitude and the […]
