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.

  • Coal Dock Park, Port Washington, WI

    Port Washington, Wisconsin: Part One

    Port is a beautiful city with lighthouses and walks along the shore to experience the calm waters – or the thunderous waves of Lake Michigan.

  • Eastern Caribbean Cruise: Finale

    This post is a compilation of three days. We enjoyed a beach day, a rain day, and an absolutely glorious day on Grand Turk.

  • Saint Lucia

    In Saint Lucia, we explored the beauty, history, and culture at Caribelle Batik, a Distillery, and a colonial mansion way up the hillside.

  • Orchid World, Barbados

    Barbados

    On the island of Barbados, we enjoyed a little history, a visit to Orchid World, and lots of Bajan rum punch at Sunbury Plantation House.

  • Saint Kitts

    After two days at sea, we arrived in Saint Kitts – a beautiful, historic, and lush island situated between the Atlantic and Caribbean Sea.

  • Eastern Caribbean Cruise

    Eastern Caribbean Cruise: Overview

    Wisconsin in February is not the place to be. The thought of bundling-up and shoveling had us thinking of the emerald waters of the Caribbean.

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.
