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.

  • 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!

  • The Music of New Orleans

    Our stay in New Orleans continues with a walk to entertainment at the historic Preservation Hall, making lots of stops along the way.

  • Southeast to Sunshine

    After two days' drive we arrived in NOLA, where we enjoyed some Motown at the gorgeous Saenger Theatre. So much talent and such great songs!

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.
