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

Posts from our 2026 road trip – aptly titled "The Spectacular Southwest" – are coming along. Follow my facebook page so you'll know when there's a new one. The "Eight State Getaway" series will continue once these posts are complete.

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

  • 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.

  • Two Nights in Whistler

    Our stay in Whistler was a short one, but we strolled, nibbled, and sipped our way around a loop which started right outside our hotel.

  • Back Down the Parkway

    We love thundering waterfalls, and today's itinerary put the finishing touches on the Icefields Parkway, offering some of the best yet!

  • Maligne Canyon to Spirit Island

    We love traveling off-season to avoid the throngs of people, but booking excursions in Jasper NP can be problematic with such a short season.

  • A Sweet Route on Moving Day

    Our move from Canmore to Jasper along the Icefields Parkway was a pretty sweet route. As moving days go, this was definitely one of our best!

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.
