No Kids, Will Travel
An Active Vacation on Andros
When we travel to Greece (Zeke has made the trip four times now), we like to visit Andros Island. Located just off the mainland, Andros is where Zeke’s great-grandmother, Anna Frank, was born. The strong family connection inspired our first visit, and the slow pace of Greek island life keeps us going back. While we’re […]
Baltimore Comic-Con
Remember all the cartoons you watched as a kid (Voltron, Transformers, Super Friends), and all those movies you watched as a teen (Star Wars, X-men, Indiana Jones), and how much you like your late-night programming on cable (True Blood, Walking Dead)? Have you ever wished you could visit your favorite world? There’s a place for […]
A Date in DC
I will admit that one of the perks of living in the National Capital area is we have access to the metropolitan life whenever we want it. I will also admit that being a commuter and driving 50 miles each way to work every day doesn’t have me chomping at the bit to run into the city […]
An Ode to Exploration
When we learned yesterday (August 25th) that astronaut and exploratory icon Neil Armstrong had passed away, Zeke and I remarked at how personal the loss felt. It feels like we’ve lost a family member. Maybe a distant branch on the family tree, but still someone who had a profound influence on your life. To be […]
Africa Update
I know it’s been a while since the last post about the planning for our upcoming Africa trip so here it goes. . . We were torn between two companies, Intrepid Travel (which we’ve mentioned before) and the Africa Adventure Company. I will admit we love the off-the-beaten-path and budget-friendly travel of Intrepid. The idea […]
Piquing Our Curiosity
Most of our posts deal with terrestrial travel, but after participating in the NASA Social event leading up to Curiosity‘s landing on Mars, it only feels right to share some of what we learned. First, if you didn’t get up (at 1:30 a.m. Eastern) to watch the scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory as the […]
Sailing on Selina II
I will gladly admit sailing is a passion of mine. I’ve been romanced by silent slow sojourns on the water since childhood. I didn’t grow up on the water; we never owned a boat, with the exception of a canoe for fishing. But I’ve been drawn to the sea as long as I can remember. […]
The Olympics: Visiting an Olympic City
I call on the youth of the world to gather … The opening of the 30th Modern Olympic Games in London this past Friday was a spectacular event and despite the grumbling you might hear from some Londoners about the crowds and the traffic problems, I truly believe that they are loving it. The Olympic […]
Saint Michaels, MD: A Change of Pace
A few months ago we received a gift from a friend, the gift of a one-night stay at a bed and breakfast on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay. I am ashamed to say as a Marylander the Eastern Shore and the Bay as a destination has never been a go-to getaway for me […]
What Do You Want for Vacation, Little Girl?
Remember the joy and excitement when the annual Toys ‘R Us holiday catalog was delivered? I remember poring over the pages, often many times over, checking out every last detail of the coolest toys of the season. I very clearly remember these appearing in the catalog: …and I totally wanted one (hello, who didn’t?). I […]
