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.

  • 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!

  • Lake Minnewanka Scenic Drive

    Along the Minnewanka Scenic Drive, wildlife sightings ramped up, we enjoyed a boat cruise, and Jim stepped out of his comfort zone for a bit.

  • Rain, Rain, Go Away

    Our stay in Canmore continues in soggy conditions, but a drive along the parkway from Banff to Lake Louise made for an extraordinary day!

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.
