I know, I know. I’ve been back from Japan for almost three months now, but I’m just sorting through the extra duffel bag I bought in Tokyo so that I could buy a lot of stuff that I wouldn’t unpack in, well, in almost three months. Flipflop socks. They’re cute, … Continue reading
What if i got cancer? It was a question I asked myself from time to time as an adult, especially after Mom was diagnosed with lung cancer. What if the tests come back positive? What if the chemo doesn’t work? What if it’s spread? What if it comes back? What … Continue reading
It took a plane, a train, and a couple of automobiles, but Mexico’s Copper Canyon was well worth the effort. This UNESCO World Heritage site is made up of six canyons and is four times (or five, or seven-opinions vary) larger than the Grand Canyon. Ever since moving to Mexico … Continue reading
I knew once we finished our mad dash up the east coast that we would be ready for some down time in Canada. So for our firs stop I purposefully chose a remote location by the Bay of Fundy. We spent five glorious days just on the outskirts of tiny … Continue reading

During our two summers of traveling through the cool and refreshing Mexican Highlands, we have spent a fair amount of time in Mexico City. As much as I love the energy of the city, I had to wonder where the more the residents go to get away from it all. … Continue reading
Just the thought of another Christmas in the tropics, on a boat, surrounded by palm trees and dolphins was depressing enough. (Yeah, I know. Please don’t hate…) Let alone the fact that I have hauled these winter clothes from Unspeakable merchandise of mine-only my favorites but enough to take up 1/4 … Continue reading
When Jeff and I decided to enjoy the traveling lifestyle full-time, we began with land-travel. We bought a little pop-up camper, loaded up the necessities-including our three rescued dogs-and hit the road. We dubbed ourselves “3 Pups In A Pop-Up”, complete with tons of bumper-stickers, magnetic car signage and a … Continue reading
Over the river and through the woods…. No, we weren’t going to Grandmothers house, but rather the puebla of Malinalco, Mexico, to recoup and regroup from the hustle and bustle of Mexico City. Most people I’ve talked to, Mexicans included, are not familiar with Malinalco, even though it is … Continue reading
