Life is Short.

Take Time to Travel.

Live vicariously through my travels while you’re in-between yours!

Vacations were a huge part of my childhood and now road trips keep us busy during retirement. We try to make the journeys as exciting as the destinations.

At the end of each trip, I always include a “recap” which includes what we saw, where we stayed, and a link to each post. My hope is to inspire you to use every one of your vacation days. Enjoy!

Our Latest Adventures

I don't do this often, but I didn't get very far on my "Eight State Getaway" posts anyway, so the rest are getting the boot (for now) in favor of a series from our latest winter road trip. I'll try to skim over some of the other stuff before we get to our absolutely fabulous stops in Utah. I can hardly wait to get started on these posts, so follow my facebook page so you'll know when each new post is complete!

Please excuse the mess on older posts while I update my site.

  • Scenic Cruising: Grand Finales

    The last two days of our cruise were spent at sea, providing very different emotional responses to the icy waters of Alaska and its glaciers.

  • Gateway to the Klondike

    In Skagway we learned about the gold rush, had a dapper storyteller/tour guide on a streetcar, and the float down the Chilkat was fantastic.

  • Alaska’s Capital City

    In Juneau we saw the awe-inspiring Mendenhall Glacier and its falls, and breathed in the purist air on the planet near some old man’s beard.

  • Alaska’s First City

    This post covers an at-sea day, 17 bald eagles, squirrels in a canoe, a former red-light district, and awesome views of the Alaskan waters.

  • Best of Vancouver and Bridge

    Today we glimpsed Stanley Park, had a fabulous afternoon on Granville Island, and explored the rain forest at Capilano Suspension Bridge Park.

  • A Terrific Day in Victoria, BC

    We officially begin the cruise portion of our trip on Vancouver Island with an all-day excursion to Victoria and Butchart Gardens.

Life is Short. Take Time to Travel.

Use every one of your vacation days my friends. And consider a journal of your experiences, so you can remember some little detail that will make you smile for years to come.
