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.

  • A Postcard Around Every Corner

    This post is loaded with pretty pictures of the magnificent red rocks of Sedona, AZ. Every time we visit, we find our new favorite viewpoint.

  • At Home in Phoenix

    This is the only post from Phoenix this time, but it's a good one – if you like quilts, fiber art, musical instruments, and hot-air balloons.

  • All Around Tucson

    This post covers walks in the desert, an otter-copter, a night out, a mission renovation that's finally done, and another gorgeous sunset.

  • Our Casita in the Desert

    We begin our AZ stay in Tucson in an Airbnb in the desert amongst the cactus and birds. We were close and yet so far from the city madness.

  • Return to the Red Rocks 2024

    It’s time to return to snowbird status! We have a great line-up of accommodations for a couple months of warmer temperatures to explore AZ!

  • The Trip of Our Lives Recap

    This is an outline of Road Trip: Part 1, Pre-cruise: Vancouver, Princess Cruise: Sea, Princess Cruise: Land, Road Trip: Part 2. Enjoy!

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.
