Echo Canyon Loop is one of our favorite hikes in Chiricahua National Monument. This trail in the southeastern corner of Arizona offers plenty of photo opportunities for Alan and just enough hiking to satisfy the active boomer in me.

On our second cruise to Hong Kong, Alan and I skipped the organized cruise excursions for a walking tour of our own down the streets of Kowloon. After exiting out of the Ocean Terminal, we walked along Nathan Road in search of the Jade Market. After a bit of shopping, it was time to explore […]
