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. Today I am going to change that. For lack of better portrayal […]
Saint Barth’s is known for its European ambience. It is a French territory and that is reflected in its style, culture and luxury. It is frequented by celebrities, VIPs and the super rich. The shopping is incredible. High-end merchandise is tax free and about 20% cheaper than in the US or France. You will also […]
Anybody that knows me is aware that my husband and I love trains! I write about them a lot (maybe too much!), read about them I talk about them as well! For the last year or so, we have casually discussed a rail trip beginning in Switzerland and ending in Italy. Here are the few […]
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! […]

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 […]
My husband and I love train travel, and have posted about trains extensively. I find transportation anywhere more enjoyable by train and I have spotlighted numerous railroads. Will you enjoy a rail trip? It depends entirely on your choice – research and choose carefully! . In the US the first train that usually comes to […]
I have written about the Slow Travel philosophy and how to apply it to travel. Alaska, vast and beautiful, is the perfect place to give it a try! I believe our 50th state can be traveled in a number of ways. An Alaskan cruise is wonderful (and if you have kids or grandkids they will […]
When you are planning an international trip, what do you look at first? Airfare? hotel/lodging? Site-seeing plans? When my husband and I failed to take a good look beforehand, public transportation provided a great service!. Public transportation can and often does make a huge difference. Many folks opt for a car rental-after all a car […]
