Never too old to travel!
It’s been a great year for us, albeit a quieter one in terms of travel. But any year with good health, connections with family and friends, and a few getaways is a good year for us. At the top of our travel list were short, local trips with our granddaughter to new-to-her places right here […]
Read More…Sometimes I buy postcards to send to friends and relatives, write them in the car while my husband drives, and then search for the nearest post office so that folks get correspondence stamped from the state I’m visiting. And that’s what happened as we were in way northern Idaho almost to Canada. Bert, I said, pull […]
Read More…We’ve just returned from a trip of a lifetime — a Viking River Cruise appropriately named Imperial Jewels of China — with an itinerary spanning several cities from Beijing to Shanghai including sights and sounds we had only hoped to see.

Read More…On my fifth trip this year to Vegas’s McCarran, I saw something I hadn’t seen before. Not at McCarran. Or any other airport, for that matter. But it’s probably been there all along. I may have been too busy watching luggage spin around on those carousels to even notice. No, it wasn’t the artwork I’m so fond of seeing […]
Read More…Lately, I’ve done a lot of flying. From Knoxville to Vegas to Michigan to Maryland. A lot of flying. I may even be identifying with George Clooney’s character Ryan Bingham in the 2009 hit movie Up in the Air — almost comfy in the confines of an airport. Not only that, I really love grazing […]
Read More…The second day of our New Mexico journey took us from the Casa Blanca Inn in Farmington to the town of Shiprock on the Navajo reservation where I conducted a workshop for teachers. (Click here for post on Casa Blanca Inn.) Wanting to combine work with pleasure, my husband and I booked the second of the Three Sister Inns […]
Read More…When a business opportunity training teachers in Shiprock, New Mexico, opened up in November, I jumped at the chance to work and then sight-see in this state that has always been on my Bucket List.
