I love traveling – seeing and exploring new places. If I had an opportunity there are several places I would enjoy staying for a month or two. I do not however, want to move there. My life and family are here. I understand that others would enjoy residency somewhere else and I can understand. There […]
The southeastern US is suffering a heat wave – any thought of going outside is pushed aside quickly and replaced with thoughts of air conditioning and cold drinks! This kind of heat makes you forget that autumn will arrive. It will though….eventually! Labor Day, often viewed as the official end of summer, is just […]
I love cruising almost anywhere! Alaska is, in fact, one destination that is best seen from the decks of a cruise ship! While visiting Alaska is wonderful regardless of the transportation method, cruising can relieve some of the stress. There is no need to spend your time navigating the state’s ferries and flights. The cruise ship […]

I have written extensively on the benefits of slow travel. A slower pace with a hefty dose of relaxation is the point behind many vacations, after all. If you believe that the journey is the destination, you need to consider traveling by rail. As an aficionado of all things rail, I have written widely […]
I have written extensively on Florida. Although it is not my favorite destination, many people feel differently. It is certainly diverse- Jacksonville and Miami both have a unique and distinct style. Key West is a world all unto itself, of course! The Gulf Coast tends to have a somewhat slower pace. If you are thinking […]
To me, one necessary component of any cruise is a pre or post stay at a port city. If you have not visited before, this stay gives you a chance to determine if you want to return for a longer visit. In my last post I reviewed Santiago, Chile and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Today […]
Nearly everyone enjoys cruises and that certainly includes me! I do not go on as many as I would like as my husband does not share my enthusiasm! When we do use this method of travel however, we do agree on one thing – always spend some time in port cities (or ones nearby) […]
