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
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.

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.

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
H is for Hindustan?
OK, I admit it ... H is for Hindustan is a bit of a stretch, but my mom was living in India and how could I pass up a chance to travel there? The trouble is, I was only on H ... and she wouldn't be there by the time I got to "I" so… Continue reading H is for Hindustan?
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
G is for Galapagos
By Judy One of the goals of my plan to see the world is to get to every continent at least once. As I considered where to go for "G" I realized I had never been to South America. After consulting my handy new atlas (I figured I needed a solid reference book for exploring… Continue reading G is for Galapagos
