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.

  • Naples, Italy

    Naples, Italy is chock-full of fabulous old buildings, churches and history. We just skimmed the surface and could definitely find more things to do here.

  • Sicily, Italy

    Sicily, Italy – In the port you'll see a statue of the golden Madonna which offers protection with the words "Vos et opossum civitatem benedicimus".

  • Dubrovnik, Croatia

    The Walls of Dubrovnik, Croatia have helped to protect the freedom & safety of this peaceful & prosperous republic for centuries – even as recently as 1992.

  • Murano, Italy

    Murano & Burano

    Murano & Burano are two of many islands in the Venetian lagoon. Beautiful blown glass, fabulous hand-made lace and brightly colored houses await your visit!

  • St. Mark’s Clocktower

    St. Mark’s Square

    St. Mark's Square – from the Doge's Palace and the Basilica to the Astronomical Clock and the Bell Tower – this place was fantastic! Check it out!

  • Venice, Italy

    Venice, Italy – Sometimes I had to pinch myself just to see if I was awake. I couldn't believe we were standing here, with so much history all around 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.
