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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
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.
