This post is long overdue – but I imagine anyone reading this has likely too much on their plate as well!! But what’s in your cup? When hubby and I were recently in Savannah, we went on a Foodie Tour – more about that another day, and one of the places we stopped was Perk [...]

Tomorrow morning we leave for Alaska! Another destination that has been on my personal list since I was a child; and one hubby and I have shared! As usual, I’m nervous about the flying part — never ever my favorite part of the event. But, with enough decongestant and airport food; I’ll forget! We hope [...]

Today we enjoyed breakfast at our B&B – The Phoenix Inn – and then made our way to the Fenimore Art Museum. There was a fascinating exhibit of Jewish immigrant wood carvers of the early 20th century in New York showing their work both of carousel horses and Torah arks for synagogues: fascinating. And an [...]
Tomorrow morning we leave on a road trip for a week. We’ll take the first couple of days to visit a couple of homes of the rich and famous: Naumkeag for instance. By Wednesday we’ll be in Clinton, NY at the annual Shaker Seminar taking place this year at Hamilton College. I’ll post as I [...]

We’ve been home for over a week now, yet we’re still adjusting in many ways. We seem to be back on the right time zone, which thanks to the ocean crossing really went pretty easily. We arrived only about 2 – 3 hours off. We still seem to want to eat different amounts of food [...]

Anyone reading this from the 60s-70s generation might need read no further; you probably get the general idea! Two days home and we’re beginning to adjust. The time changes that happened on board the ship helped a great deal – but not entirely. We seem to be about 3 hours off still, not bad for [...]

Sorry to be out of touch for so long! We boarded the Queen Mary 2 on June 2 and we haven’t been able to connect (they did have internet but at 50 cents a minute). This morning we watched the sun rise over the Statute of Liberty as we arrived in NY . We are [...]

We had a great train ride through the Chunnel from Paris to London. It’s actually a rather “boring” ride in terms of the scenery (and at least 1/2 hour is spent in the tunnel). We enjoyed first class and were served a nice luncheon type meal while enjoying cozy seats. I was worried about my [...]

We are currently sitting in the Gare du Nord train station waiting for our train to London in a hour or so. There’s a nice lounge for first class travelers (which we’re doing for comfort and the meal!) with connection. So here’s just a few pictures from our few days in Paris. From London, this [...]

Goodness, that was a long stretch without posting, wasn’t it? Hope you are all checking back in! We have just arrived in Paris from a week cruising on the river Rhone and Soane. This is the boat when we arrived in Arles. It was a small boat holding only about 125 people with, best we [...]
