Lions, elephants, zebra and antelope—lots of varieties of antelope—is this what you expect to see on a photo safari in South Africa? It was certainly the scenario that Alan and I had in mind when we traveled on a boomer adventure to Madikwe Hills Private Game Lodge in South Africa’s northwest corner near Botswana. As […]

Saturday’s scene: Going UnderWater in Alaska
For all of our baby boomer readers who’ve wondered, “Where is Alan?” He’s back! After several months of settling into his Montana office (and covering for me so that I could attend to blogging and writing duties during our move) Alan is ready to get back to work at My Itchy Travel Feet. Today, he […]
Driving the Alpine Loop in One Day on a Boomer Road Trip Adventure
Is it possible to drive the Alpine Loop on a one-day itinerary? Yes, it is. Alan and I enjoyed this scenic drive on trip to southwestern Colorado. The Alpine Loop in the San Juan Mountains introduces off-roaders to high-country scenery and Colorado mining history. It’s best explored on a 2 or 3-day Alpine Loop itinerary […]
4th of July in the Bitterroot Valley
Does this photo from Hamilton, Montana’s Saturday market look familiar to our baby boomer readers? That’s right, I used it for last year’s 4th of July Saturday’s scene. Why am I posting it again? Because it’s my favorite photo depicting small town Independence Day celebrations — the kind that will be happening across the U.S. […]
Car Club Fun in the Kootenay Rockies
Alan and I received our first baby boomer introduction to the beauties of British Columbia on a Tauck tour of the Canadian Rockies. Each time we stepped off the bus, one of us would say, “Let’s come back for some independent exploring.” However, when we recently had the opportunity to experience the Kootenay Rockies in […]
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? […]
Saving Travel Dollars With Smart Destinations Go City Pass
It’s an expensive travel world out there. Gasoline prices are skyrocketing. Airline fees aren’t for the faint of heart. What’s a baby boomer traveler to do? Smart Destinations has the answer — at least when it comes to saving money on admissions to attractions in eleven major cities — the Go City Pass. Let’s say […]
Dreaming About Antarctica
Long-time readers of My Itchy Travel Feet know what’s at the top of my baby boomer travel list. Antarctica! I’m dreaming of exploring the great white continent on SilverSea’s adventure ship, Silver Explorer. What do you expect? I’m a boomer travel princess, after all. Well, when I finally make that luxurious exploration, I’ll be taking […]
We Agree With Dr. Beach
Alan has always been a fan of rugged Oregon beaches — until I introduced him to the low country beaches off the coast of South Carolina. Now, our favorite baby boomer beach escape is Kiawah Island. We’re not the only ones who appreciate this wide, hard-packed ten miles of sand on the Carolina coast. This […]
