When I hit 40 I experienced that typical mid-life crisis. I reevaluated my life and realized most, maybe even all of the things I’d always wanted to do, I had done. I found myself wondering, “What’s next?” Then it came to me. There’s a whole wide world out there just waiting to be explored. So… Continue reading Introducing my ABC the World Plan …
Distractions – Southern California – Who Knew??
By Judy OK, so here's the thing, for all my world travels, the only time I had ever really been to Southern California was when I was around 8 years old.

Getting Ready – Neverending Lists
I am a list maker. It's somewhere between habit and obsession. Weeks before I leave on a trip I start writing lists ... Things to remember to pack; things to remember to do before I go; things to do when I'm at my destination. The trip I am getting ready to take with my guy… Continue reading Getting Ready – Neverending Lists
