Recent Trips
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 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. Grace's Blog
Grace was diagnosed with breast cancer in March, 2017 and we stayed home to do everything right to insure a long life and more travels. She started Grace Blog, in the menu bar, and added posts for each new phase. She took this on as her summer/fall "project" and did whatever it took to have "No Regrets," Her favorite Edith Piaf aria.
Latest Blog post, Celebrating One Year Mark, July 23, 2018 We returned to our tradition of winter in Arizona with Grace teaching at the Camera Club, and travel. All is Good!!! |
Canada: The Maritime Provinces
We are heading out to visit eastern Canada; Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. This is a Grand Circle Travel bus tour, our first of this kind. We start the pretrip in Quebec City and Montreal for a few days first before flying to Halifax to start the main tour. All of this is new territory for us.
I am going back to putting posts on my Travel Blog, which you will find in the menu above. Check in every few days, as I'll make posts as often as we conclude some interesting experiences. New Blog Posts: Halifax to Saint John
