Despite the recent warmth, winter has a few more tricks up her sleeve! Eventually though summer will be here and as hard as it may be to believe, we will want to escape! I am going to jump the calendar forward and name a few cool places that you will love when the dog […]
As some of you know, I am a big fan of Latin America! While I have visited some of its countries, I want to visit more! So many countries with so much to offer: the Amazon River, jungles, deserts, waterfalls, and two oceans! For me, it is a difficult decision to make but fortunately, I […]
Located near Moab, Utah, this high desert park’s altitude is 4,000+ft.. Bordered by the Colorado River, there is plenty to see! The park’s claim to fame are its natural sandstone arches, the largest collection in the world. With over 2,000 of these arches, you will stay active! The park has a multitude of sites to […]
I wrote about Santa Fe a year ago – this is the encore! Those of us from the east coast, especially the southeast, are used to thinking what a beautiful place we live in… and we do! Santa Fe is just as beautiful but in a totally different way. No live oaks or moss in […]
The Galapagos Islands are an enormously popular tourist destination. Many of these tours are via cruise–but not all of them. If you go by ship, it will usually be an expedition cruise specifically dedicated to island exploration. Visiting by land can also be satisfying. If you enjoyed the Galapagos you will likely enjoy other wildlife […]

UNESCO sites, of course, are still worthwhile to visit and their existence is valuable to our understanding of the […]
Everybody loves to pay less and get more! In an effort to do exactly that my husband and I alternate our more expensive vacations with less costly ones. It works well for us-we are in charge of our itinerary and can adjust as necessary. While everyone’s taste differs here are examples that we use to […]
While Congaree NP is not the first park that comes to mind, it is lovely in its own way and worthy of a visit. I’ve covered a number of national parks in the southeast -here is yet another one. While different from the previously discussed Great Smoky Mountains and Shenandoah, it has its own charm. […]
I will tell you upfront that my only trip to Iceland was a four hour layover between the US and Europe, surrounded by a group of intoxicated English tourists. I can assure you the next trip will be quite different! Iceland is a dramatic destination with black sand beaches, waterfalls and glaciers. Reykjavik, the capital […]
I have never had a desire to go to Arkansas. I have been there exactly once- when I was a road warrior for a large corporation and HAD to go for two days . I did not consider it a desirable destination and made no effort to test my belief. I went to the necessary […]
