No Kids, Will Travel

A Painful Lesson

Last week we talked about a trip to Florida in Baseball Binge. My father thought it was a good idea, so he asked me, like always, to book him some tickets for a trip. I got the information from him over the phone and wrote it down. Then I followed up with him in person to […]

A Baseball Binge

The search for the sun and signs of spring weather are a recurring theme of this blog, mainly because of my personal dislike of the cold. Because of this bias I grasp for any hint of the warm weather to come.  The first and earliest sign of the coming spring is when the birds begin […]

Exploring American Literature in Massachusetts

I like to read. I also like to write, so an appreciation of great works of literature is a given in my case.  If you’re like me and also want to know some of the back stories behind the great writers of the past, Massachusetts is one of the best places you can visit. I’ve […]

2013 in review

Christmas Traditions Around the World

The idea of trimming a tree isn’t universal, even in countries with large Christian populations. Greece is 95% Greek Orthodox and you will seldom see a tree, except in a store window.  The main symbol of the season is a wooden cross with basil wrapped around it, kept fresh using a bowl of holy water. […]

Oh My Holy Lands

You know we don’t use the term bucket list around here at No Kids, Will Travel. We live with the philosophy  that you don’t wait, you just go. Even so, we understand waiting is probably a good idea sometimes. For years I have wanted to visit the Holy Land.  I am (for the most part) […]

Festive Frederick, Maryland

The fall wanes to winter and the weather turns cold, the sky darkens early, but the streets of my hometown are still warm and bright. I have lauded Frederick, Maryland before as a Norman Rockwell scene come to life and it lives up to that description even more than usual this time of year. The […]

My New Favorite App: Momento

I love Momento. I first downloaded this free journaling app back in June and have become one of its biggest fans. The dashboard is divided in to timeline, calendar, tags and feeds, allowing quick access at the bottom of the screen. The timeline is a scrolling calendar that displays a quick snapshot of what you […]
