I woke up in the middle of the night the other day thinking about love, specifically one of the most selfless acts of love I have ever personally witnessed. I know of a couple, I have only met them once, who tried for years to have a baby. They went through every kind of test… Continue reading Mother’s Day: A story of love and miracles

I have a passion for story telling and travel. I hope my tales of wanderlust inspire others to see the world, be adventurous and find their own passions.
Mamma Ventura’s – Gettysburg, PA
Like a lot of travelers, we’re also foodies. Part of the joy of traveling is exploring new tastes. So let’s indulge our senses as we set forth on a new blog adventure – Food! – where we share some of our good (and not-so-good) food experiences, so if you’re headed somewhere we’ve been, you can… Continue reading Mamma Ventura’s – Gettysburg, PA
M is for Montreal
2014 was a monumental year for many reasons. First, I got married. Greg and I tied the knot at the end of the year in Key West, Florida. Second, it marked the halfway point of my 26 year plan to see the world. M, of course, is the 13th letter of the alphabet. That meant… Continue reading M is for Montreal
L is for Lima
Choosing an “L” destination took on a bit of a twist when I decided to start focusing on making sure I get to every continent without going bankrupt – HA! I’ve done a LOT of Europe, touched Africa, Asia, North America (that’s an easy one), and while I spent a day in Quito on the… Continue reading L is for Lima
Scenic Overlook: Worth the Stop
One of the things we have discovered (as you have read in previous posts), is staying off the beaten track and taking the road less traveled leads to unexpected delights. We recently hopped in the car and headed for a visit with family in the tiny town of Hillsville, Virginia. While much of the trip… Continue reading Scenic Overlook: Worth the Stop
Paris is where my friends meet

We talk about going to Paris ... (long pause) ... Tennessee. It's a little town on… Continue reading Paris is where my friends meet
A Day in NYC
Diversions aren't always entirely unplanned. In this case, we included a diversion in the middle of a day trip to New York City. Greg had been to the Big Apple a number of times, as had I, but we had never been together. When Greg's cousin got a job as the wardrobe supervisor for an… Continue reading A Day in NYC
J is for Jamaica
When you're looking for exciting, exotic locations to make your next travel destination, Jamaica probably doesn't come to mind right away. But when money's tight and you need a place that starts with "J," Jamaica seems like the perfect choice. My Jamaica trip involved an all-inclusive resort, Couples San Souci. Let me start by offering… Continue reading J is for Jamaica
I is for Italy
I is for Italy, specifically Florence. I often tell people that Italy is actually several countries. No, not politically, but gastronomically. After all, what better way to get to know a place than through its food? In the north, Italy is Alpine. There are thick, warming stew-like sauces and heavy, hearty meals. In the south,… Continue reading I is for Italy
Diversion – Not always for happy reasons
My Uncle died this week. He was 86 and outlived the woman he loved and cared for until her death by eight months. I couldn’t make it to her funeral, so I made sure I could make it to his. That led Greg and me to Malone, New York – the North Country as it… Continue reading Diversion – Not always for happy reasons
