All Trips

Since we got married in 1987, and even before, travel has been a big part of our lives. In 2018 we retired from our jobs and finally had time to travel in earnest. This blog is intended to capture and organize all of the amazing places we've been, both for us and others. 

While on our 2022 cruise of the Greek islands we stopped in Hvar, Croatia. On an excursion our guide explained that you could rent a boat and have a capitan and chef take you around these beautiful islands in this gorgeous water. So this year we're doing that (plus another cruise and other stops). Three other fun couples will join us for the Croatia catamaran part.

On our first Asia trip together we hope to see the Japanese cherry blossoms, but first we'll check out Southeast Asia. We start in Thailand, tour Bali, cruise the Mekong river, and go on a food tour of South Korea. After seeing Tokyo and Nagano we'll cruise to see more of Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Viet Nam. We end up in Singapore for our flight back to Austin, 72 days later.

Hawaiian Islands

[Not yet added to the blog, sorry!] Southwest Airlines was having a sales on flights to Hawaii, so we pounced. We saved a few hundred dollars but made up for it paying for hotels and meals on the big island and on Kauai. Some keys for Karen was waterfalls and helicopters. We did some star gazing at 13,000' atop Mauna Kea and saw beautiful and poisonous plants that grow only in Hawaii.

An article we found extolled the virtues of cities of The Netherlands other than Amsterdam. On this trip we visit many of them and agree they're great fun. We got to Paris three times on this trip with time in the Dordogne and Provence in between along with a cruise around the Greek islands, and cities in Montenegro and Croatia. Traveling with multiple friends was a great treat.
