Cruising the Adventfjorden is one reason Alan and I wanted to sail beyond the Arctic Circle with Regent Seven Seas Voyager. After a day spent hiking Plateau Mountain in Lonbyearbyen, Norway, we stood on the deck watching the mountains and glaciers of Adventfjorden as Voyager sailed toward the Arctic ice pack. Alan and I were enjoying a glass […]
Do you enjoy dancing on your boomer travels? Alan and I love getting all spiffed up for formal night on a luxury cruise to dance the night away. But cruises aren’t the only venues where we can practice our dancing skills. November 11, 2012, kicks off the Vienna Ball season. Native Viennese Barbara Grüll-Cação has […]
Alan and I enjoy starting out our boomer travel day with a hot breakfast like The Sanders 25th Anniversary Omelette. It’s one of the reasons we like staying in bed and breakfasts. Even better is when we are able to share the recipe with our readers. During our stay at The Sanders Bed and Breakfast, […]

From the looks of the cheery sign announcing Reeder’s Alley, boomer travelers would have no reason to expect that there are any haunted places in Helena, Montana. When Alan and I walked the streets of Reeder’s Alley and Last Chance Gulch with historian and author Ellen Baumler, we learned otherwise. Events from Helena’s mining history […]
If I had to choose one favorite trail in Glacier National Park, hiking to Bullhead Lake would be it. In this boomer traveler’s opinion, you’ll find all the elements for a good hike—alpine scenery, excellent wildlife watching and little elevation gain. When Alan and I experienced hiking to Bullhead Lake with a Road Scholar Glacier […]
Classical music is king when it comes to culture in Berlin. Did you know that the city has seven major symphony orchestras, three major opera houses and hundreds of smaller performing groups? Berlin is a paradise for boomer travelers who are also music lovers. I took this photo during a chamber music concert at Charlottenburg Castle where […]
Would you like to include sea kayaking on your boomer travel adventures? My one and only experience was in a tandem sea kayak with Alan on the calm waters of Wyndham Bay in Southeastern Alaska. That is, until Toyota U.S.A. invited me to go sea kayaking at Refugio State Park while on a glamping tour to […]
