Travels with Daughters

Yesterday as I was scrolling through my pictures, planning on posting something on Facebook for National Daughters Day, I was reminded how many great trips we've taken with our daughters. And while I love the one-on-one time I share with my husband on our solo excursions, those family sojourns can't be beat for the fun and special memories they provide. Our trips started out modestly enough when the girls were small . . . mostly car trips to visit family or attend a wedding or special event. As they got older, our horizons literally expanded, and to this day (if not for this year) we continue to plan trips that now include them, their spouses and children.

Making Plans for Future Travel

Over the past few weeks my husband and I have started to look ahead and make some plans for travel in the next year. Even while the coronavirus surges in some parts of the country and the EU may bar U.S. citizens from entering its borders in the coming week, we've decided to broaden our horizons literally and figuratively. While we aren't contemplating any major international travel or cruises just yet, we're certainly open to looking at some of the great travel deals out there right now and helping the travel industry bounce back.

The World on My Christmas Tree

We've entered the busy Christmas travel period, with record numbers of people predicted to travel by car and air this year. I am thankful to say that we'll be staying home, with family coming to us. I'd rather decorate the house and bake than face the roads and airports with the mass of humanity that will be traveling this year, but I understand the need and/or allure of an exotic holiday getaway or a family gathering.

Remarkable Medellín

Visiting Medellín in Colombia: The Country of Beauty is like stepping into a fantastic story — literally, as the city in the Western Colombian Andes region inspired Disney’s Encanto. Here, valleys, the world’s tallest palms, vibrant communities, colorful houses, garden-like balconies and more prove reality is more picturesque than anything on film. And it’s especially more tempting following Medellín’s remarkable transformation, shedding its troubled past and reawakening as a city of innovation, art, cultural richness, modern infrastructure, thriving tourism and resiliency.
