We are a retired couple who love to travel and share our travel tales and pictures with friends. Our goals on trips are to experience places, see beautiful sites, learn about customs and culture and mingle with people. We also love food and wine, so don’t be surprised by a few meal reviews here and there.
We look forward to traveling abroad once or twice a year. There are so many fantastic places to visit, foods to taste and wines to drink and life to enjoy – the only real cap is time itself.
For 2026, we have decided to explore a little more and stretch our circle of comfort. Nothing dangerous, just trying some new things and places. First on our list will be a Danube River Cruise. We’ve considered a river cruise previously, but something else always took priority. So this should prove to be interesting.
For our autumn trip, we will be traveling to Japan. We’ll be spending two weeks there. We’ll be taking a tour for the bulk of our time and then have a few days on our own to explore a bit more.
Locations in France, Italy and Switzerland, where we’ve had wonderful experiences, are always at the top of the list. We feel very comfortable in each place and have had great experiences. Seeing a location for a day or two can sometimes be enough, but other times it just whets your appetite to see and experience more.
As for other trips, here are a few we’ve talked about:
- Germany
- Croatia
- Scotland
- Norway
- Denmark
- Ireland
