Why on earth would I visit the typical sites in Italy? I would much rather see the less known regions. So when I received a brochure for the East coast of Italy I booked the tour for my daughter and I. We flew into Bari, Italy and stayed in the town of Polignano. We explored…
And now for Norway
It’s been just over a year since I posted scenes from our cruise ship en route to Norway. Life and other travels have delayed posting the photos from the country itself. I think it’s about time. Norway is not only breathtakingly beautiful it is also keenly aware of social responsibility. We found that refreshing. Our…
So, Ireland
It seems visiting Ireland is on everyone’s to-do list. It was certainly on mine, but I wasn’t allowed to take one family member without taking the others and that never seemed quite do-able. So, when a brochure arrived in the mail offering a one-week trip to the “Wild Atlantic Way” with no single supplement fee,…

Beach Break
It’s been well below zero Fahrenheit for the past week. It’s time to bask in the memories of warm beaches, blue skies, and far away lands.
I Guess It’s True
A friend recently mentioned she was going to Cancun, Mexico. I told her that I had been there when the resort first opened in the late 70’s. Knowing I like to travel, she said, “Wow, you’ve been an adventurer all your life!” That surprised me. I had never considered myself “an adventurer,” but, looking back,…
