In case you wanted to read about me!

Meet Leann!

Leann just celebrated her nine-year Expedia-versary! It’s no surprise that Leann loves her job and became a travel agent because she loves to travel!

“I love to live vicariously through my clients,” said Leann. “I love the satisfaction of helping them plan an exciting vacation and seeing it come to fruition.”

If you ask Leann what her favourite city in the world is, she’d tell you it’s Paris! She’s been to the city of love five times, and it’s a city she will always return to.

Leann isn’t partial to a particular mode of travel, but she does love the airport. (I know, we were surprised to hear it too!)

“This may sound crazy, but I love to arrive for my flight hours early just to spend extra time hanging out at the airport,” said Leann. “For me, there is nothing that beats the feelings of excitement and possibility that an airport has.”

In Part I of The Best Cruise I've Taken (So Far), I left you on the island of Sao Tome, off the West coast of Africa. Once we left Sao Tome, our next stop was in the Canary Islands (Gran Canaria) followed by a day in Tenerife; both great islands on which to spend a day. We were hoping for better weather in Tenerife as we had planned to spend some time at the beach....

I have had a long time dream of taking a walking tour in Europe. Now, I have to be honest, I'm not much for camping, or carrying heavy packs, or roughing it in general. But, walking, I love! And Europe I love! Years ago, I heard about what, for me, is the perfect walking expedition. Here's what happens: You choose your route (mine is in Europe, we've established that), your hotels are pre-booked for you, and your luggage is transported each day from this morning's hotel to this evening's hotel....

Lately, I've heard "Bucket Lists" getting some bad press. I think the idea is that the goals are unattainable, or perhaps too obvious, or maybe you should scrap the list and just do fun things. I disagree. Sure. You're not going to do everything on your bucket list; some of the items will remain impractical. And I say, "So what if some of your items are obvious" (hello, Great Wall of China)....

Today's post is the first in a series regaling you with my adventures on our 30 day cruise in 2015

In 2015 I had the good fortune of sailing on a 30 day cruise out of Cape Town, South Africa. Now, I don’t have unlimited resources to afford a 30 day cruise, but it was the result of a perk o…

Gold Coast, Queensland I stumbled across a website today, that for me, and I assume other travelers is alot of fun. It's called earthroulette.com. The premise of the site is you click the large button in the center of the screen; and are taken to a page with an image and description of the next destination to which you will travel....

Generally, I don't like to buck the system. The majority of people tell me to do something this way; I think to myself "Well, that many people can't be wrong!". Where travel is concerned, I do have to confess that there are two areas where I don't agree with the status quo. I know this will be controversial, so hold onto your chair!...

Bridge Bidding Box So why am I writing about bridge in what is usually a travel blog. Hear me out. I was percolating on a topic for this post; and my mind kept returning to a cruise that hubby and I took several years ago. It was a transatlantic cruise from Southampton to New York ... no stops ... many days at sea....

In today's blog post, I regale you with the story of my favourite whiskey sour

This isn’t the actual Whiskey Sour, but a reasonable facsimile! This is the story of the best whiskey sour that I’ve ever had, and the ensuing quest to re-find it. I was lucky enough to…
