High Speed Travel in the US?

November 13, 2025

If you have traveled in Europe, you know how helpful high speed trains are.  Usually less expensive than short haul flights, they are especially convenient when crossing country borders.  They are also great for connecting  cities in the same country!  One runs underneath the English Channel and connects the UK with the rest of Europe.  […]

Scotland – Inverness & the Flow Country

November 11, 2025

We loved Scotland and enjoyed every minute there!  I wish we had been there longer to see more of the country, however.  We spent a lot of time around Edinburg, a wonderful city.  On our next visit, we plan to spend more time in rural Scotland. Inverness, in the Scottish highlands, would be a great […]

Washington DC

November 10, 2025

It has been a few months since my last visit to Washington. My husband and I took the trip specifically to see the city with each other.  We had been there several times when our kids were small to show them the city. It was always in the summer, hot, sweaty and crowded.  I had […]

Three US Cities to  Visit

November 7, 2025

There are so many cities in our country that deserve a visit.  Unfortunately, the US is so vast that it is difficult to tour them all.  I am going to mention three you might want to consider.  If you have already explored them, perhaps they are worth a second look! CHARLESTON, SC  –I’ve written a […]

Fairbanks and the Arctic Circle

November 5, 2025

Do you want to see the Arctic Circle without pulling out your passport?   If so, there is only one place in the US where that is possible: Alaska.    Alaska is home to so much that is  wonderful and amazing.   If you have cruised Alaska, you know how beautiful it is.  Then there […]

The Outer Banks of North Carolina

October 31, 2025

The Outer Banks , with their 200 mile stretch of coastline, are well known and frequently visited.  They have their own singular look – often windswept and untamed.  Known especially for their beaches, they are also home to small villages and picturesque towns.  There is a lot to do here including kiteboarding and windsurfing.  Nag’s Head […]

EUROPEAN CHRISTMAS MARKETS

October 30, 2025

European Christmas markets are incredibly popular but that has not always been the case!  These markets have been a part of European culture since Medieval times.  Originally they were simple affairs- small wooden stalls.  That is no longer the case.  Today they number in the thousands and are located all across Europe; many of them […]

Cheaper Business Class?

October 26, 2025

 I am not a fan of flying and avoid it whenever possible.  Despite hundreds of flights, I continue to view each one with a mixture of dread and irritation.  Let’s face it, economy flights are  uncomfortable and have become more so over time.  I have not flown business class since my company road warrior days.  […]

Mama Don’t Take My Kodachrome Away….

October 23, 2025

Paul Simon was right and I think most of us instinctively know it.  Words do not generally have the same impact as photographs.  If a topic does not grab your attention, you will not usually read about it.  If you start reading an article or a book and don’t enjoy it you stop reading.  Not […]

The Everglades

October 22, 2025

If your experience in Florida has been of the urban variety (Miami, Orlando, Tampa) you will be amazed by the Everglades.  The theme parks and pulsing nightlife are replaced by alligators,manatees, flamingos, and perhaps a Florida panther.  This is the largest subtropical wilderness in the US, folks, and it will astound you. Located between Miami […]
