Her Facebook post said, “I want to wake up in Paris on my 40th birthday.” I replied, “Then do it!” She instantly “Liked” my comment. To propel Ruth out of “like” mode to “action” mode, I shared with her my life motto: “If you want something bad enough, you will do whatever it takes to make it happen.” Within a matter […]
I grew up loving France. The language, the bread, the people, and the music were all a part of my life, even though I lived in England. There are so many places in France that I still have to visit, but here are some of my favorites…so far. Colmar is the third-largest commune of the Alsace region in north-eastern […]
I sent the following information to a friend who was flying from San Francisco to Italy with an overnight layover in Paris, France. He had never travelled internationally before and wanted to leave the airport to see some sights. The following is what I sent him. Once you are in Paris, you won’t be able to check into your […]

We sailed on Navigator of the Seas and enjoyed all the excursions. Each day was […]
England is still my home, even though my family came to the United States when I was 12 years old on a six week holiday and never went back. I try to get back as much as I can, so in Spring 2013, I went with my parents on a 10 day trip to see my grandmother and spend some time […]
In October 2007, my husband and I took our first cruise and loved it. I especially loved it because it was a fast and easy way to see a lot of places in only 12 days. We stayed four extra days in Rome to make the most of a new city. Before booking, I did a lot of research since […]
After months of research, myself and three others took off on the most wonderful way to see Western Europe. We picked up our rental car in Paris and returned it in Vienna, Austria. Three weeks, six countries (France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Lichtenstein and Switzerland), several hundreds of miles, and so many incredible places visited, this trip has a firm place in […]
