“And if travel is like love, it is, in the end, mostly because it’s a heightened state of awareness, in which we are mindful, receptive, undimmed by familiarity and ready to be transformed. That is why the best trips, like the best love affairs, never really end.”
2023 Year In Review
This was an exciting year and the beauty of travel is you can always find new and interesting things in familiar places as much as you can visiting new sights. This year we trekked, journeyed, and voyaged 81 days, over 78,000 air miles which is equivalent to circling the globe three times, visited 60 cities, 10 countries, 3 continents to include some countries twice…It just never disappoints and looking back feels like we never left home this year! Now that is the real beauty of travel!
2022 Year In Review
2022 was to be the year we finally stepped out of the shadows of Covid and began traveling with a sense of peace we would not have to address each country’s ever-changing policies which was the only constant throughout this period. Well, the year started off with changes once again as our Antarctica sailing was cancelled and so were our aspirations to touch all 7 continents for the second time. Not to be one to dwell on the negative we made the best of it and as you continue reading you will see we doubled down this year on our travel. We were drinking lemonade all year as we took 8 trips, visited 5 continents, 13 countries, 25 cities, 7 islands, logged over 91,000 air miles and circled the globe 4 times!
This may be a long read but hopefully worth the time given the diversity of this year’s travels. I hope you enjoy, and, in some way, this gets you to start thinking where you want to go on your next journey.

2021 Year In Review
It’s that time again to reminisce about this past year’s travel, the sites seen, the experiences shared, and the relationships renewed. You will notice one difference in 2021 versus past years and that is the total number of places visited. While it may not have been as numerous, we traveled, and it was nothing less than amazing! The operative words when traveling today are stay informed and be flexible and then after that make sure you are informed and continue to be flexible! As the saying goes, the only constant is change and that holds true in today’s travel environment as there are ever changing guidelines for all countries...
2020 Year In Review
From staying home and social distancing to adapting to a new normal, whatever that is, 2020 dared us in many ways to find normalcy. There were trips cancelled, sites left unseen and dream vacations put on hold and yet looking back we are amazed at what was accomplished. This year is defined as “where there is a will, there is a way”!
2019 Year In Review
WOW…What a busy year 2019 turned out to be! I looked back and was amazed that I had actually taken 13 trips visiting 49 cities, 17 countries, 5 continents and logged over 85,000 miles through the air while circling the globe 4 times. We were blessed to have stayed at some of the most distinguished hotels and resorts in the world, sailed on both luxury river and ocean cruises all while enjoying private guided tours through some of the most breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage sights imaginable.
