Our meetings the next day ran much longer than planned, so when we realized we needed to stay another night, we re-booked our flights home (another positive story) and re-booked another night’s stay.

Do You Dare?
One of the things I find the most fascinating about travel is how different people around the world do the things we all do. Where we “go” is obviously one of those things.
Wine Tasting – Personalized
We stepped onto the patio to a table set for two adorned with a fresh glass for each of the wines we would taste and shaded by an umbrella.
It’s In The Air
On our recent California road trip, with the top down, Greg and I realized you can smell all kinds of things you’d miss with the windows rolled up. It reminded me of family trips when I was a kid. We had a great big station wagon with wood panels on the side. On vacations, we’d… Continue reading It’s In The Air
It’s Not What You Know, It’s Who You Know.
I recently found myself walking past a former place of work. It was a Monday at 6pm. I looked around and noticed there was no traffic. None!

Where To From Here?
I had planned to spend my spring exploring all the tourist sites I could get to within a few hours of Phoenix. I created a list and mapped out weekends. Then Covid-19 wrecked my plans. No worries, I thought, I’ll just wait til the coast is clear. It might not be totally clear, but things… Continue reading Where To From Here?
You Gotta Eat, Right?
Food … it’s what sustains us. When you Google food quotes, you’ll find a seemingly never-ending list. Of course there are tons of food quotes! We need it to live.
