Take a Walk…in New York City
I’m a baby boomer who likes to walk. Are you? When I visit New York City, I could walk all day soaking up the Big Apple’s energetic vibe. Last year when I attended TBEX, walking through Greenwich Village on the way to my lodging in Chelsea was a delight, although mighty hot. In today’s guest […]
Pet Airways: The All Pets, All the Time Airline
When it comes to offering advice on traveling with pets, I’m not the baby boomer to give it. Alan and I are on the go too much to own pets. However Edie Jarolim from Will My Dog Hate Me? knows all about pet travel. Remember when she wrote about taking your dog on the road […]
Meet the Elephant Seals of Piedras Blancas, CA
Baby boomer photographers will have their pick of elephant seal models on the beach at the Piedras Blancas elephant seal colony near San Simeon, California. I captured this sleepy fellow while on last spring’s California coastal sports car road trip. Are you planning to travel on Highway 1 on the Big Sur coast this summer? […]

Last spring, when we sat down to plan an active boomer adventure in the southwestern corner of the Big Sky State, we used our tried and true tips for choosing a vacation rental. On […]
Saturday’s scene: Gentlemen, Start Your Engines
What does a boomer car enthusiast do after test driving a Ferrari in Maranello, Italy? Walk on over to the Ferrari Museum. Although you can’t visit the Ferrari factory — that’s top secret — exploring two floors containing 40 of the most prestigious sports cars that you’ll ever see is the next best thing. […]
Behind The Walls In Lucca
Did you know that Lucca is the only town in Italy to be totally surrounded by walls? Behind those medieval ramparts, Renaissance architecture in the form of churches, elegant shops and picturesque piazzas beckon to be explored. When Alan and I were planning a road trip to northern Italy with our friends, Jack and Sue, we […]
