Our Story
More than 40 years of traveling together, and still plenty we’d like to see.
Don & Linda in Mexico
We’re Don and Linda
We’re a retired couple based in Florida. We’ve traveled together for more than 40 years, visiting more than 50 countries and all seven continents. Retirement has given us more time to do something we’ve enjoyed for a long time.
We’re not travel influencers. We’re two people who like seeing new places, spending time with friends, and figuring out how to make a trip comfortable and worthwhile.
We started this blog recently. It’s a collection of the journeys we can document and share well, rather than a complete record of everywhere we’ve been.
How We Like to Travel
Our travels include ocean and river cruises, European barge trips, guided tours, and time exploring on our own. Closer to home, we enjoy Florida day trips and short getaways. A place doesn’t have to be far away to be worth a visit.
We appreciate a comfortable pace and enough time to enjoy where we are. The people we travel with and meet along the way often become as much a part of the story as the destination itself.
What You’ll Find Here
The trips and experiences you’ll read about here are ours. Don does the writing, drawing on more than 40 years of traveling together and the notes, photographs and memories we’ve collected along the way. Here’s what you’ll find:
- Personal trip stories: What we saw, what stayed with us, and how the trip felt.
- Cruise and tour experiences: The ships, itineraries, excursions, and day-to-day details.
- Practical considerations: Comfort, walking, pacing, packing, and the logistics that can make a difference.
- Florida close to home: Places we enjoy for a day out or a few nights away.
Our experience is one perspective, not a promise that a trip will suit everyone. We hope the details help you decide what fits your interests, energy, and budget.
