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.

  • Return to St. Augustine

    Our winter road trip continues in St. Augustine. This will be a short post about a little wine and music – after we tour a church, of course.

  • Laid Back in Orlando

    We've vacationed in Orlando more often than anywhere else. But where this post gets interesting is on moving day when we visit Winter Park.

  • Seafood and Sunsets

    We continue in Matlacha with a trip to Little Pine Island and a walk to Community Park to see the other side of our canal and bird paradise.

  • On the Waterfront

    Four nights in this funky little town were not nearly enough. We need a return trip for more sittin' on the dock of the bay, wastin' time.

  • Historic Panama City

    Although it took us two days, we didn't mind the return trip to Downtown Panama City – with another brewery, a great meal, and live music.

  • A Change of Scenery

    After a great tour of the USS Alabama in Mobile, we completed our relocation to Panama City, FL where the sun and sand were waiting for us!

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.
