Badlands National Park
Planning a trip takes a lot of time and effort. My general rule is that it takes as much time to plan a trip as it does to take it. For a six-week journey, like when we travelled to Alaska and back, it took six…
Everybody Poops but C’MON!
It was a beautiful August day. We were on our week-long trip through Quebec. Since we both love zoos and aquariums, I ensured that Aquarium Du Quebec was included in our exploration of this incredible province. Our visit was during the restrictive COVID times, and…
1000 Trips?
What motivated me to start travelling was my death. I started to notice my health going downhill. There had been a slow decline over the years, which began to accelerate rapidly. I spoke to the doctor, who convinced me I should see a cardiologist. I…

Whenever I am driving, I wear large, wrap-around blue sunglasses. These are great at preventing glare and reflection. Plus, bright lights trigger migraines, and I can never think of a reason why I would want one of those. I had little idea how I would…

I am working on my travel map of Michigan. These are all the places I hope to see eventually. Check out what I have discovered so far on this page.
Smithsonian National Zoological Park
We love zoos. We love free zoos even more. But we did not love the parking. The cost of parking was as much as admission would have been at a regularly priced zoo. We were in Washington, DC, during the period between Christmas and New…
