Are you a baby boomer traveler who likes to visit off-the-beaten-path destinations? In today’s guest post, Ilse Long, airline employee and partner at Prepared for Travel, takes us to Ronda, Spain. “Ronda”, every time I hear this name I think of the song from my baby boomer teenage years—“Help me Rhonda, help, help Me, Rhonda.” […]
Is this really a photograph of Park Avenue? Where is the hustle bustle of shoppers crowding the busy streets? You won’t find any. That’s because this photograph wasn’t taken in New York City; it’s from Arches National Park near Moab, Utah. On a sunrise photo shoot workshop with exposure36 Photography, I peeked through the trees […]
Normandy, France, is a popular destination, especially for WWII buffs. Many baby boomers have listened to war stories from parents, especially fathers, who participated in the Normandy invasion during WWII. But tales of conquerors pre-date this contemporary war talk. Just ask Vera Marie Badertscher, A Traveler’s Library, who recently took a visit to Bayeux, France. […]

Climb Nohoch Muul’s 192 steps? I’m afraid of heights. Jump off a cliff […]

Alan, riding shotgun, called down from above, “Are you okay?” What kind of baby boomer adventure is this? Why, we’re experiencing the old west on a stagecoach ride at Harris Stage Lines in Paso […]
Our baby boomer readers might guess that this photo was taken on the California coast or maybe Oregon. Fooled ya. Donna captured this coastal scene while at the Muriwai Gannet Colony an hour from Auckland, New Zealand.
Last week I wrote a post about why Alan and I traveled to the Stillwater River Valley in Montana.
