Discover Fjords, Waterfalls and Goat Farms on a Cruise in Norway

Solving the carry-on toiletries dilemma
Last month, Alan and I flew from Tucson to Los Angeles to Atlanta in five days. Usually, when traveling for more than a couple of days, we check bags, which allows me to bring my favorite beauty products.

You’re packing how many pairs of shoes?
I can’t tell you how many times Alan has asked me this question as he passes by our “packing” bedroom when I’m preparing for a trip. Men have it so much easier…a pair of dress shoes, a pair of casual shoes (or the same pair for both situations), maybe flip flops, plus wear the workout […]
Lounging in luxury at Kapitea Ridge
