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.

  • Turtles, Floaties, & Beer

    Marathon finishes off our Keys stay. We'll be back soon to the gorgeous blue waters and the laid back atmosphere of this fabulous latitude.

  • Movin’ on Down

    Today we cruised the seventy miles of open water between Key West and Fort Jefferson in Dry Tortugas National Park (and had some beers).

  • The Spice of Life

    Although I say it may be Vacations, "they" say Variety is the Spice of Life. If you’re into a little of this and that, this post is for you.

  • Security with a View

    After our tour of Castillo de San Marcos, we had a great meal and strolled along St. George Street through yet another security measure.

  • Getting A Closer Look

    Yesterday's trolly ride was great, but today we learned a little more about one section of St. Augustine – and a lot more about one man.

  • America’s Oldest City

    St. Augustine is a feast for the eyes with a great trolly, fabulous Spanish Colonial architecture, Nights of Lights, and a Bridge of Lions.

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.
