WeekendCaféShare: I’ve Been Traveling With Pluto

It’s been awhile since I did a Weekend Coffee Share! What have I been up to? Grab a cup and we’ll have a chat over coffee! International travel has been on hold for two years, for us, and that has been a real bummer!  I’ve had plenty of time to move schedules around! But, so…

Cruising: Let’s Pack!

The days of the steamer trunk are over!  And remember these? We’ve all had them! Suitcases are now much lighter and made of sturdier fabrics made for wear and tear! There are some great new packing ideas, especially for the Cruisers! Let’s see the new bags and how they can be used for the cruising…

Cruising: It’s All in the Bag

I am a firm believer in safety. In this day and age one can’t be too safe. Some things you have control over, other things not so much.  Safety for me starts with my personal belongings and the one thing that would put a heavy damper on my vacation would be having my identity stolen…

WeekendCaféShare: It’s All About the Shoes!

If we were having coffee this morning I would invite you in for a nice french press. I have been so behind this week with my blogging. But, there is a good reason….. it’s all because I decided to clean out my dresser drawers. I was a whirlwind, well not actually, because I didn’t go…

A Day With Agatha Christie at Greenway: Getting There

I am so excited to be visiting Greenway House, the holiday home of Agatha Christie. It is the first private residence of the famous author to be opened to the public. Greenway House is situated on a 278 acre estate on the Dart River in Devon. I will be dividing the posts into several sections…

Some Things Are Never Easy

I’m back from vacation! As one gets older things are not so easy! I put this post under the Travel Tips category, but maybe it would be better under Travel Warning! My observations: The long term parking lot gets farther and farther away from the airport. At our airport the only solution was to walk…

AnyList: A Must for Planners!

I am a list maker! And an itinerary maker, a book reader, a blogger, a plan maker, and oh yeah, a grocery shopper! So I am always looking for a better way to keep it all together! And I want it on my IPhone, my IPad and my computer, simultaneously. And all in one place!…

Before you Go on Vacation You Might Want to TEP!

Let’s TEP! Where are my emails? What info did I have in my Itinerary? How can I send a post and a picture to my family? How do I see all the maps I downloaded? How do I call my vacation host? What’s the weather for today? I need my Wi-Fi!!! Does this sound like…

JustPark: How To Find a Parking Space ANYWHERE in the UK!

  Time for the annual Garden Trip to the UK! YEAH! For Americans there is the thrill of driving on the wrong side of the street with the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car! Now if that is not enough to say you are having fun then let’s add looking for a…
