Great Sand Dunes National Park

July 15, 2026

I love spotlighting our national parks!  They are all beautiful and unique and provide great vacations; nearly everyone can find one that is right for them.  Today I am going to take a look at a park that seems, at least to me, a bit more obscure.  Take a look and see what you think! […]

Anguilla

July 11, 2026

One of the least known Caribbean Islands is Anguilla.  It is a British Overseas Territory in the eastern Caribbean  around 200 miles east of Puerto Rico. It is an island surrounded by several small islets.  What makes this country so special and why should you visit?  Let’s take a look! The beaches  Anguilla has some […]

The English Countryside

July 8, 2026

We’ve been to the UK and had a fantastic time.  One thing we did not do is to spend much time in the countryside.  This is an error that we will correct on our next visit!   We loved London– it is a wonderful city and we also enjoyed Bath, Stratford-on-Avon (hello Mr. Shakespeare!) and […]

Four Beaches You May Enjoy!

July 6, 2026

Did you grow up spending summers at the beach?  I did.  Nearly everyone enjoys the ocean, sun and sand and all the other beach amenities! The relaxed vibe and slower pace help create that laid back, easygoing vacation that we all love!  Is there a special beach that you return to time after time? If […]

Switzerland

July 4, 2026

My husband and I will be riding the rails  through Switzerland and Italy in 2027.  Although we have not made final plans, I am doing a bit of research in anticipation!  There is nothing like the combination of trains and beautiful mountains, right?   Switzerland is a tiny country, smaller than West Virginia in fact. Despite its […]

Solo Cruises-Which Line is Right For You?

July 1, 2026

As mentioned in my recent post, solo travel continues to expand to encompass a varied group of travelers. The cruise industry knows this and continues to expand their offerings..  While you can take a solo cruise on any line, many companies are specifically interested in these singles.  In fact some cater specifically to solo guests.  […]

Sleeping Bear Dunes, Michigan

June 30, 2026

I grew up in the southeast and to me the beach was the Atlantic Ocean-about 120 miles from my house.  My family’s  annual trip to Wrightsville Beach in southeastern NC was eagerly anticipated. We would usually rent a cottage and settle in for a week or so of fun (for us kids!) and relaxation (for […]

Aerophobia?

June 26, 2026

Officially known as aerophobia, fear of flying is a very real concern for millions of people.  I am one of them.  It does not keep me from flying but I do look for alternatives.  I would prefer driving, taking a train, or any method that avoids a flight.  I do love travel however and at […]

Chicago

June 24, 2026

It’s been a few years since we have been to Chicago. On our last visit we attended my husband’s family reunion.  Since his family is spread all over the country Chicago was selected as a compromise.  Once the reunion ended, we decided to stay around awhile and explore the city. It was summer, the weather was […]

Interested in Solo Traveling?

June 22, 2026

 I love traveling!  Since retiring,  my husband and I have taken a number of fascinating trips.  While I enjoy the trip itself, I also like seeing new and interesting places with him.  I am not sure I would appreciate it as much if I traveled alone.  I could surprise myself though- I have known other […]
