Traveling, writing and this thing called life to bring joy from my heart to yours
I have written a post on the Fairy Glen and the Fairy Pools in Skye. I went there in May 2016 and was so lucky to have incredible weather and an incredible experience. This time that I went, it was October of 2017, I went with my friend Paula and the weather was not spring-like …
Austria When Austria is mentioned in conversation a few things come to mind. Saltzburg, Sound of Music and Vienna. I am generalizing, I do not mean to offend others that think of something else. So with that being said… Obertraun and Hallstatt I had never heard of this incredible little jewel until Whitney brought it up …
Hiking in the snow? Well if you have not figured it out yet from my last post, I am not the “hiker” that some people are, but I am slow and steady. I will get to my destination, it just takes me a bit longer. Whitney, on the other hand, is in fine physical form …
Dublin Castle So here I am, lovers of castles and old things and much to my surprise, Dublin Castle is not the “old castle” that I just assumed.

Poppi. Who knew? We were going to be driving for a while on day three from Pisa to San Marino, FYI that is a small country in Italy. We wanted to avoid the expensive toll roads as much as possible and a couple hours drive was not too bad, right? Ugg, it was a long …
The Square of Miracles Back to “square” one! No pun intended. We started out day here at the Leaning Tower and took off on an unplanned awesome adventure. After lunch, we weaved our way back to the Square of Miracles. Next up, Camposanto. Here is the website for the Square of Miracles. https://www.opapisa.it/en/ It is also …
Who knew? I mean when we were looking up stuff to do, the regular tourist stuff, this super cool medieval wall just did not hit the radar. We saw it. While up on the leaning tower of Pisa, we saw it. Just kind of looked like an old wall at first ending off to our …
Welcome to Italy! Welcome to my post on my Italian vacation. Pisa will be our first stop. I came here with my friend Whitney, a well deserved vacation for both of us. Where do I begin? Well, we took our long flight, out of LAX which I am not a fan of the traffic, but …
