October 2-5, 2017 One of the best parts of travel is meeting interesting people along the way, and this was our experience when we met Michel and Rosemary Hayler on a Viking river cruise over four years ago. We have maintained our friendship and they have since, visited us in North Carolina. So it was … More Hastings and Battle, England … More Hastings and Battle, England
September 28 – October 2, 2017 Getting to York was as easy as hopping on a train in Edinburgh and relaxing for two hours. I’ve said this before, but I love train travel through Europe.

September 26-27 We left Skye and headed towards Edinburgh in what turned out to be a very long day of driving but with some very unique scenery and points of interest along the way.

September 24-26 2017 Nothing like a rainy day to make you want to get on the road….well not quite, but you gotta do what you gotta do, so we set off for Skye in these not so ideal driving conditions.

Besides, Leo was … More Gateway Arch, St. Louis, MO
July 8th After two and a half months on the road we’re making a southeastern turn towards home but we plan to take advantage of every and any interesting stop along the way.

June 28-July 5 After two months on the road we arrived at one of the planned highlights of our trip. Glacier National Park has always appealed to us for its origins and remoteness.

June 22 This gem of a museum sits high above the National Elk Refuge in Jackson and provides breadth taking views the minute you step out of your car.
