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.

  • Regensburg, Germany

    Today we'll go back in time on a walking tour. Untouched by bombing during WWII, Regensburg is one of Germany's most well-preserved cities.

  • Schärding Town Visit

    A bus ride through the Bavarian countryside took us back into Austria, to a place with lots of flowers and rows of different-colored houses.

  • Passau, Germany

    We walked through this colorful town with lovely facades to St. Stephen's Cathedral for a concert on Europe's largest pipe organ.

  • The Melk Abbey

    With several hours in Melk – where the Danube and Melk Rivers converge – a visit to the renowned 900-year-old Melk Abbey was a must-see.

  • Vienna en route to Melk

    This post begins with a tour of Schönbrunn Palace and ends with a slideshow that lasts as long as one of my favorite songs from the past.

  • Vienna, Austria

    Our guided bus & walking tour took us along Ringstrasse, thru Heroes' Gate, Heldenplatz Square, Joseph Square, St. Michael's Square & more.

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.
