Honing in on Hondarribia
As a home base for a few days, we settled into the normally sleepy town of Hondarribia on the Spanish side of the border with France.

Rocky Mountain High
When John Denver was singing back in the seventies, for me it wasn’t about some mythical and groovy Shangri La, it was about my life.
But that life took its twists and turns that took me away. Now I don’t get back as often as I’d like... CONTINUE READING >>

The Angelic Aura of St Michael’s Mount

Perhaps when there is a cobblestone path leading to it.
The thought was so intriguing, and the castle topped hill so inviting, that we could hardly wait. However, the tide... CONTINUE READING >>

Free Money!
We started walking a few years ago while we were still living on St. Croix and the last chick was still in the nest. One time Veronica looked down on the side of the road and, lo and behold, a five was laying there. A few more steps and there was a... CONTINUE READING >>

From Sea to Shining Sea on St. Michael’s Way
It’s not every day that we can walk from coast to coast so the prospect was pretty exciting to us. The feat could be accomplished by following St. Michael's Way traversing England’s South West Peninsula. In addition to allowing us to cover an entire landmass, the trail afforded us the opportunity to... CONTINUE READING

Orlando All Grown Up
We’ve got nothing against theme parks. In fact, we happily took our kids to Orlando for an exhilarating visit to Disney World and Epcot years ago and had a fantastic family vacation, but our memories are mostly of tiny hands excitedly pulling us from one wild ride to the next.
Now that they are all grown up and on their own, we have the opportunity to explore the city at a more relaxing pace and see the more adult side of ...
