We created this site so our friends, through our photographs, can enjoy the places we have visited around the world. As we continue to be able to travel, we will add to this collection of Photo Galleries, Slideshows and the Blog.

Recent Trips
September 22 - October 14, 2019. We took the Irish Adventure: County Clare, Northwest counties or Ireland was the main tour. The Pre-Trip part was Killarney and Dingle. This tour was with Overseas Adventure Travel (OAT). It was three week, just in Ireland. It was a great trip, and I Blogged it along the way. See my photo book: Irish Adventure
June 20 - July 8, 2019. We took the "Best of the Canadian Rockies: Calgary to Vancouver" bus trip with Grand Circle Travel. We added on the pre-trip to Yellowstone National Park. (Check my Blog posts) More pictures will be coming.
July 25 - August 8, 2018. We started our Canada travels visiting with friends in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. We continued on to Quebec City and Montreal for the pre-trip on the Grand Circle Travel tour "The Canadian Maritimes: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island." Unfortunately we had a medical event in Saint John, NB and had to fly home early. (Check Travel Blog last couple posts.) It was a great trip as far as we went.
March 27 - April 10, 2017 we had the privileged of being able to repeat the "Baja, California; A Remarkable Journey" photo expedition with Lindblad aboard the National Geographic Sea Lion. Our good friend Jack Swenson was the Expedition Leader and he guided us around Baja and into the Sea of Cortez looking for marine mammals and taking walks on isolated islands. It was a fabulous trip.
February 1 - 12, 2017 we took our second trip to Cuba on a People-to-People trip: Cuba Revealed: Cultural Pathways from Camaguey to Havana, with Grand Circle Foundation. It was a great trip and we saw a different area of Cuba from our 2013 trip.
April/May 2016 we had a great three weeks in Italy on an OAT trip: Tuscany and Umbria: Rustic Beauty in the Italian Heartland. I have a few Blog posts about some of our unusual experiences.
We had two fabulous trips in February, 2015. The first was to Eastern Europe. It was really two trips back-to-back. The first was an Overseas Adventure Travel trip: "Jewels of Bohemia: Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia & Hungary" followed by a river cruise on the Danube with Grand Circle Travel: "Eastern Europe to the Black Sea: Budapest to Bucharest."
The second great trip in August 2015 was "Wildlife Paradise Photo Safari by Private Air: Including South Africa, Botswana and Namibia," with Jack and Rikki Swenson through Lindblad Expeditions and Eyes on Africa. We were promised leopards, and were not disappointed. Dahlia Fields in Canby, Oregon

New Blog Posts for Canadian Rockies and Yellowstone tripYellowstone National Park
As a pre-trip to our Canadian Rockies tour, we spent four days in Yellowstone National Park. After flying into Billings Montana, we ended up driving to the north entrance into the pass because Beartooth Pass was snowed in and impassible. You can read more about this fun, but cold romp through the park on my Blog. Just scroll down through the Rockies part.
Canadian Rockies Tour
The Canadian Rockies tour with Grand Circle Travel started in Calgary. It included Glacier NP, Banff, Jasper, Kamloops, Whistler and Vancouver, BC. Check out the Blog posts about the trip that include a few pictures. More pictures will eventually be posted in the Photo Gallery under Canada.
