There’s a whole world out there just waiting to be explored. Go see it … from a bed with a view on the water!

R is for Richmond, British Columbia
The “R” trip will likely go down as the quickest to plan and one of the shortest. We moved across country in April and part of the move meant I am temporarily unemployed. That means when I get a new job, I probably won’t have any available vacation. So … when Greg found out he… Continue reading R is for Richmond, British Columbia
Q is for the Queen of Europe’s Rivers – Rollin’ on the River
(First in a multi-part series about our great European River Cruise Adventure from October 2018. We’re only posting now because as soon as we got BACK, we closed on our new home and dealt with moving most of our furnishings out west, the holidays, living out of two houses, etc. We know … excuses, excuses.… Continue reading Q is for the Queen of Europe’s Rivers – Rollin’ on the River
P is for “Psoaring”
Okay, I made up that word (because I'm a bit psycho), but when we booked our trip to Hawaii (see “P is for Pu’uhonua”), we bookended the flights to Honolulu with stops in Los Angeles to break up the long flights from the East Coast. On the first of those LA stops, Judy and I… Continue reading P is for “Psoaring”
P is for Pu’uhonua
My plan to see the world from A to Z continued in 2017. When I started the plan in 2001, I had two rules: Don’t go back to places you’ve been before (at least as part of the A to Z plan), and wherever you go, it must be outside the 48 contiguous United States.… Continue reading P is for Pu’uhonua
D is for Dublin — a do-over
My first trip to Dublin was disappointing. My travel partner didn’t want to check out the pubs in a city that is known for its nightlife. He said no to a visit to the Book of Kells at Trinity College. He turned up his nose at shopping. I describe the whole trip as D is… Continue reading D is for Dublin — a do-over
O is for Orseolo
The best part of having your own plan to see the world is being able to make it fit your personal wishes. That was especially true of the “O” trip. Greg and I wanted to go somewhere romantic, European and hopefully Italian. Neither of us had ever been to Venice (well, to be fair, I… Continue reading O is for Orseolo
N is for Nürnberg
Christmas in Germany is magical, at least for me. The Germans are the best at Christmas markets and somehow walking around a market square sipping gluhwein and shopping for seasonal specialties feels very Christmas-y. That’s why we decided to head to Nürnberg for the “N” trip. The Christmas market there is known around the world… Continue reading N is for Nürnberg
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
