Checking out my Twitter feed, I see it's about equally divided between headlines from major news sources and tweets from travel bloggers. Hmmm... does that make me an informed traveler, or am I looking for deals to escape what I'm reading about? 😉

Dad's Final Trip to the West Coast
As executor (executrix?) of my dad's estate, part of my duties include fulfilling his wishes regarding his final resting place. Or, in my dad's case, places. You see, my dad was one of those people who are so giving and loving, so family-oriented, that sharing themselves just comes naturally. And so it was to be …
Visiting sister Sally
The rumors are true: it rains in the Pacific Northwest. A lot. In fact, Mother Nature is known to pull unkind tricks on spring-hopeful residents by sending them SNOW on April 1st! Not only does this wreak havoc on daffodils and azalea buds, it really messes up people flying out to visit their sisters. Our …
Travelogue: Update #4
Well, we made it home from --------------- on Saturday night and the house is still standing.

We've had much cooler weather than anticipated, and we had a yucky day of wind and rain in ------------- (insert cool town in ML) which really stinks …

Scott was sick the day before we left with a fever – the doctor determined he had a sinus infection, a touch of bronchitis, and conjunctivitis in both eyes – and I really wasn’t sure we’d be …
I love to travel
There are few places in the world that I can think of that I would not want to visit. Maybe I have some vagabond or gypsy blood in me from some past ancestor, I don't know. All I know is, I love to travel. This week our family leaves on what will likely be our …
