I was excited to stop over in Hawaii because I had never been there and it actually ended up being a lot cheaper when it came to flights. How could Hawaii possibly compare to the French Polynesian Islands? We thought it was absolutely wonderful. Yes, there was A LOT more hustle and bustle but after …

We arrived late in Anchorage after a flight delay of an hour. It was after midnight Alaska time but we made it to Alaska safely. A good night’s sleep at the hotel and a hearty breakfast and we were off to see a little of Anchorage. We took the Anchorage tour that lasted an hour …
It was my first time spending any time in Seattle. My first impression of the city was a cooler, hipper, more relaxed Boston. Art was everywhere in Seattle. It was lovely to see such a commitment to public art. The people had a more relaxed look and demeanor as they passed by on the street …
Last year, I thought that I had taken the trip of a lifetime. In one way I did, trekking across the U.S. by train for a one month tour of national parks on a mostly solo excursion. It was the most amazing trip I have ever been on to date. I have high hopes that …
