This article is sponsored by ESTAS.net Last year, when Alan and I traveled to Australia as part of our 64-day South Pacific cruise, we applied online for the required Electronic Travel Authority (ETA) that was attached electronically to our passport.

I’ll be Wearing Joseph Nogucci Bracelets on My Next Trip
I enjoy wearing jewelry, even when I’m traveling. But that jewelry needs to be understated so as not to attract attention. Although costume jewelry is the prudent choice for travel, I still want it to look classy, not cheap. Joesph Nogucci bracelets fits my boomer traveler parameters. I’m so happy that the company invited me to […]
A Winter Trip to Glacier National Park
If you’re looking for things to do on a Glacier National Park winter trip, you’ll be surprised at how much there is to do. Inside the park, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and winter hiking provide a beautiful winter experience. Or you could just admire the scenery. Winter is a fine time to visit this lovely […]
Seeing the Light in Antarctica’s Neumayer Channel
We hadn’t head of Neumayer Channel until the day we cruised through it on an Antarctica cruise. What a beautiful surprise this travel experience turned out to be. When Alan and I cruised in Antarctica on Seabourn Quest, we expected to see mammoth icebergs, stunning scenery, and cute penguins waddling around. But the other worldliness […]

This water adventure is doable for most baby boomers. If you can climb the ladder […]

Antarctica in Video
This article is brought to you by Animoto. Make great videos. Easily. Confession time. Alan and I take tons of photos and videos.

Spend a day in Old Salem Near Winston-Salem, NC
I had driven by Old Salem Museum & Gardens (official website) many times on trips to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, to watch Georgia Tech play Wake Forest in football. The journey was only a few hours from my home in Roanoke, Virginia. But, for one reason or another, I never took the time to visit Old […]
6 Questions About Cruising to Antarctica
After Alan and I returned from cruising to Antarctica, we kept asking each other, “Did we really go there?” And, now, the trip seems so distant. Perhaps it’s that our senses were overloaded so it was hard to process all that we experienced on this trip of a lifetime that’s long been at the top […]
