Santa Fe

September 7, 2026

Today I am going to repost my first entry on Santa Fe, New Mexico!   In addition to its beauty, it also has low humidity and at 7200 ft, the highest elevation of any US capital city! (yes, it is higher than Denver)  If you love the outdoors, art, museums and stunning vistas, this is […]

Interlaken, Switzerland

September 3, 2026

My travel writing is generally aimed at adults.  I do make an occasional  detour and spotlight family vacations though.   While the focus on this trip remains on adults, it works for  older children-teenagers specifically.  It is not recommended for young kids.  This is not a vacation for those looking only for relaxation ( although […]

New Zealand?

August 31, 2026

As I have mentioned several times, New Zealand is on my bucket list.  Apparently I am not alone – over the last few years it has become an enormously popular destination.  Cruises are especially popular.  The country is wild yet there is also diversity with yacht-filled harbors, geothermal activity and Maori heritage. Let’s take a […]

Florida’s Panhandle

August 30, 2026

Florida is a perennial favorite for many folks – it is, after all, a great escape from January’s cold!  While I have never been the biggest fan, at times it is quite tempting!  It is a large state and some areas are intense and frenetic. There are parts of the state, however, that do provide […]

Guatemala

August 25, 2026

I am a big fan of Latin America both central and south.  While I have explored each, I am always interested in seeing more countries.  I currently have Guatemala on my mind.  Let’s take a look. Guatemala shares a border with Belize-while they both have a strong Mayan heritage, it is one of  their few […]

It’s a Dude Ranch, Dude..

August 24, 2026

Let me say right up front that I am not the type who enjoys roughing it.  No tent please.  I prefer a bit of comfort, good meals, and good ( not necessarily expensive) hotel rooms.  I am not a fussy person and I can adjust. Lately I have read and heard a bit  about Dude […]

Lapland for Festive Season

August 22, 2026

Who loves the holidays and revels in its festivities?  If you also enjoy travel, why not combine the two and  have a different, yet wonderful vacation?  Within the travel industry, November through early January is referred to as the Festive Season.  Despite being outside of normal travel season, it is enormously popular and prices are […]

The Two Most Expensive Countries in the World

August 19, 2026

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 […]

Autumn Escapes

August 16, 2026

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 […]

2027 Cruises to Alaska

August 12, 2026

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 […]
