Greg and I realized recently that we don't talk much about our town. Alexandria, Virginia, is an amazing place to live. There's always something going on; it's a short metro ride from Washington, DC; it's incredibly walkable; it's loaded with history; there's fun, eclectic shopping; and best of all, there are restaurants EVERYWHERE. So we're… Continue reading The Pines of Florence in Alexandria

Mamma Ventura’s – Gettysburg, PA
Like a lot of travelers, we’re also foodies. Part of the joy of traveling is exploring new tastes. So let’s indulge our senses as we set forth on a new blog adventure – Food! – where we share some of our good (and not-so-good) food experiences, so if you’re headed somewhere we’ve been, you can… Continue reading Mamma Ventura’s – Gettysburg, PA
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
Scenic Overlook: Worth the Stop
One of the things we have discovered (as you have read in previous posts), is staying off the beaten track and taking the road less traveled leads to unexpected delights. We recently hopped in the car and headed for a visit with family in the tiny town of Hillsville, Virginia. While much of the trip… Continue reading Scenic Overlook: Worth the Stop
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?
A Little Background — Yeah, I know we’re already partway into the plan.
Before I go on with my travels, I should probably fill you in on a little background about me. I grew up an Air Force brat. We lived all over the U.S. and in Germany. That means by the time I had graduated from high school I had seen most of the states (well ¾… Continue reading A Little Background — Yeah, I know we’re already partway into the plan.
Introducing my ABC the World Plan …
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 …
K is for Krakow – A Christmas Wonderland
Here we are in Poland! It's a little unnerving for this Cold War veteran to be in a former Eastern Bloc country ... but not my first time. Nonetheless, everytime I find myself in a country that was once part of the Soviet Union I feel a little nervous. That said, the Krakowians are delightful.… Continue reading K is for Krakow – A Christmas Wonderland
