Vancouver

March 19, 2025

While I am not a big-city type gal there are a few I really do like: Denver, Seattle, Santa Fe. And then there is Vancouver. I have been there twice, both times in summer and I loved it. I think my next trip will be a different season–perhaps autumn. So I have been looking around, […]

Cherry Blossoms!

It is nearly that time, folks! If you have never seen cherry blossom season in Washington DC, it is definitely time to do so! DC’s Tidal Basin is full of beautiful blooming trees reflecting in the water. It is breath-taking! For those of us on the East Coast it is close enough that we really […]

River Cruising

March 7, 2025

River Cruises have become more popular over time for good reasons. The smaller ships have many advantages. Towns are frequently close to rivers (at times the dock is in the town center.)

Rail Travel!

February 19, 2025

There is nothing like traveling by rail! What makes it so much fun? Planes will get you there and they are faster. Trains are slower but they are more about the journey than the destination! They are the very definition of slow travel – sit back and watch the world go by. Quite often, the […]

They generally include accommodations, all meals, a variety of drinks (including alcohol) and access to activities and entertainment. Some of them include plane fare as well. One thing many […]

Jekyll Island, Georgia

February 10, 2025

Sometimes a vacation requires a passport and a plane ticket and sometimes all it needs is your driver’s license and a car. This is the latter type! Jekyll Island, Georgia!
