We were eager to get home. We had been gone for nearly two weeks and during that time, our apartment had been renovated. We couldn't wait to see the results! We're a weird mix, Judy and I. We love - live - to travel, but we also love being home. Our apartment is nothing fancy,… Continue reading M is for Matrimony and Motels, Part 5

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
M is for Matrimony and Motels, Part 4
The pleasant staff at the Andaz Savannah couldn't have been more charming. As they checked us into the modern, chic hotel across from Ellis Square, they told us all the features and even offered to upgrade us to a suite for only $25 a night more. What the heck, we were on our honeymoon...let's do… Continue reading M is for Matrimony and Motels, Part 4
M is for Matrimony and Motels, Part 3
Up with the sun, we headed out early. The first stop was McDonald's for our requisite road trip breakfast, Egg McMuffins (or as I've been calling them for years - Eggamuffs) and hash browns. Then, a brief stop at the Post Office to mail the Christmas gifts we bought in Key West for my Left Coast family… Continue reading M is for Matrimony and Motels, Part 3
M is for Matrimony and Motels, Part 2
We left Key West Monday morning around 10, with the car still somewhat loaded to the gills, just an inkling of a "plan" to avoid the Interstates wherever possible and find a cheesy motel to stay the night. Judy and I were still giddy about the wedding and all that had transpired over the last… Continue reading M is for Matrimony and Motels, Part 2
M is for Matrimony and Motels
Ready to set sail on our life together. (Photo: Carol Tedesco) We did it! Judy and I tied the knot on 12/13/14, meaning that we'll be travel partners forever. We were married on a 47-foot sailboat just off Key West as the sun was setting on a most perfect day. More about that in a… Continue reading M is for Matrimony and Motels

So we're playing catch-up. Join us as we journey back in time...to the summer of 2014... August 30, 2014 We’re going to take a diversion… Continue reading Perry’s in Paris

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
Hidden Gem Just Outside the Beltway – Kensington Book Festival
Sunday morning we awoke to a glorious spring day, the kind ideal for top-down motoring. The weather was perfect to follow through on our commitment to visit two author friends at The International Day of the Book in Kensington, Maryland. Our pale skin was craving some sun, so we threw on some shorts, slathered on… Continue reading Hidden Gem Just Outside the Beltway – Kensington Book Festival
