Munich Oktoberfest 2024
For many years, I have been interested in Oktoberfest in Munich. I’ve been to other beer festivals in various locations, but there’s something special about going to the OG place to experience it. It was definitely a fun time, even though I don’t drink beer much. We had two beer tents in our tour package:…

Croatia and the Adriatic
As promised, here’s a post about our trip to Croatia and time bobbing on a boat in the Adriatic Sea. For some years now, Croatia has been a highly recommended destination for travel thanks to the Game of Thrones being filmed there and its latest entry into the European Union. Its clear waters and fairly…

We’re on a boat!
This might be the only post until next week as we are currently on vacation on a boat in the Adriatic Sea off the coast of Croatia. We drove from our house to Bari on the east coast of Italy, which is about six hours away, caught an 8-hr ferry to Dubrovnik and stayed one…

Another Little Escape
It’s been a little quiet here the last week or so as I was with guests, then headed to France for a few days to see friends and enjoy the sea. There is something different in the vibe and energy with those in the Var, where I go to visit. Perhaps, it is the closeness…

Happy 48th To Me!
When I was younger, I really had no interest in celebrating my birthday. It seemed like an unnecessary moment of bringing attention to myself, which was something that I actively spent time on avoiding. If I was not noticed, I would not get unwanted attention from leery male eyes. If I was not noticed, I…

Australia 14/20 Days
We are now two full weeks in. This means just a week left, but still so much to do and see. Even since the weekend, we have done quite a bit. From Alice Springs, we headed to Darwin which is popular for seeing the crocodiles. Obviously, we made sure that we did a tour. It…

Australia Week 1.5
It’s definitely a lot warmer here in Australia than in Italy at the moment. Luckily, the sightseeing has been so enjoyable that it has made the temperatures bearable. We had a lovely time in Byron Bay after a rather challenging night in Brisbane. We stayed in an area near the airport, which I wouldn’t recommend.…

Back in Oz
It’s not actually Australia Day, but it was the only image available that worked for the theme. 😜 As our second visit, it is nice to be back. This time, though, we are going to be seeing more of the country than before. It will actually be a busy tour, but that is part of…

Hello from Paradise
My happy place has always been by the ocean. When I started to travel, I learned that there were warm beaches unlike the chillier one of the Oregon Coast, which I still love in many ways. Still, when given a choice, I would prefer a warm beach, blue sea, and golden sand. I’ve seen a…
