On my more recent adventures to the country, I have used the efficient train system to transport me around the countryside, especially with my travels south to Andalucía. But during my first adventure, over a decade ago, I decided to rent a car in Spain; I decided to […]

Chasing the Sunset in Victoria, British Columbia

Chasing the Sunset in Victoria, British Columbia

The last stop on my seven night Alaskan Cruise, Victoria, was a relatively short one. It didn’t leave much time to explore the Canadian city. Yet, I knew I would be ashore for a sunset; a sunset in Victoria, BC. Four of us took a cab from the pier straight to dine in Victoria’s popular […]

Walking Along the Niagara Falls

Walking Along the Niagara Falls

by on July 31, 2014 in Destination

One of the most remarkable aspects to Niagara Falls remains its accessibility. To simply walk along side the Niagara River and view the majestic waterfalls.  And view it for free. There is no long hike and it’s not in an exotic land (not for us Americans, although I do recommend crossing into Canada) either. It […]

Sunset Sunday-A Civil (War) Sunset from Gettysburg, PA

by on July 6, 2014 in National Park Travel, Sunset Sunday

I always wanted to visit the Civil War site at Gettysburg. The National Park Service’s Military Park located in southern Pennsylvania is constantly a topic of conversation in my family, but I never stepped foot on its soil until recently. When driving south to a wedding on I-81, I noticed the Gettysburg exit and decided […]

The American Miracle: Happy 4th of July

The American Miracle: Happy 4th of July

by on July 4, 2014 in Adventure Mindset, Postcards

I stepped on the ice and instantly felt the chill. No, it wasn’t the coldness of the arena or the ice itself, but the chill recalling a positive and patriotic childhood memory. As a hockey fan (now a huge New York Ranger fan) I watched the game in 1980, I believed in miracles. Yes, I […]
