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.

  • Grand European Finale

    Posts from our Grand European River Cruise are complete. This post provides an outline what we experienced and links to posts about each stop.

  • Amsterdam, The Netherlands

    We disembarked the Skadi and started our "post"-extension for two nights in Amsterdam (which were not nearly enough).

  • Windmills and Goodbyes

    We saw 19 windmills and guides explained how an entire family would live inside and were required to keep their windmill in working order.

  • Cologne, Germany

    A walking tour and a drive to my favorite palace of the trip. Actually a hunting lodge on the edge of a secluded grove, it was just gorgeous!

  • Cruising the Middle Rhine

    Today our journey to see the Marksburg Castle in Braubach is the highlight of our day – with a scenic cruise along the Middle Rhine River.

  • Wertheim, Germany

    Wertheim is a tiny little town of 54 square miles that is squeezed into a triangle at the "Mainspitze", where the Tauber flows into the Main.

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.
