Shades of Pink, Elafonissi Beach

Shades of Pink, Elafonissi Beach

I hope you’ll indulge me as I share just a little more from my Grecian adventures, but I couldn’t close that chapter without telling you about the pink beach.

It’s All Downhill, Crete

It’s All Downhill, Crete

You know I love a hike and so when we booked our trip to Crete, I wasn’t mad that it included a day on the trails.

Toes in the Water, Crete

Toes in the Water, Crete

If you know me IRL, you know that I’ve always been one to poo-poo a little bit on beach vacations.  I really, really don’t like hot weather, I don’t love dirt (ie, sand) and there is something about the lay-on-the-beach-drink-in-hand vibe that isn’t really me. …

Seaside Strolling, Tenby

Seaside Strolling, Tenby

When asked the this-or-that question of whether I’d choose to live by mountains or water, even though it’s reeeeally hard to answer, I’d have to go with water.  I grew up around it, from the Atlantic to the Gulf, to Lake Erie to Lake Michigan…

London: Now & Then

London: Now & Then

We’re home! It was a great trip, though with a few more transportation hiccups than I’d have preferred. Still, as Mom liked to remind me time and again, it’s all about the adventure.  She’s not wrong.

Blue Skies and Blue Seas, Capdepera

Blue Skies and Blue Seas, Capdepera

Ready for a road trip? We moved on from our city adventures and head to the northeast or so corner of Mallorca to a little resort town called Capdepera.  We picked up our mini-electric toy car (which Ham still misses daily, it seems), found the…

Castles and Cathedrals, Palma

Castles and Cathedrals, Palma

Let’s talk about Spain! I’m finally home, about 90% over the jet-lag and ready to reminisce about my latest jaunt to The Continent with Ham. In case you missed it, we spent the week on the lovely island of Mallorca.  It was wonderful and beautiful…

Be Magical: An Adult’s Guide to Walt Disney World

Be Magical: An Adult’s Guide to Walt Disney World

It’s a given after any trip that I write about my travels, and while they’ve been somewhat fewer and far between the last few years, a constant, no matter the circumstances are bi-annual trips to Walt Disney World. If you know me, you know that…
