Years ago Charles and I, our three sons, and my father-in-law, sailed together on a rented bare boat in the Caribbean. We loved our adventure, and when we swiftly passed by a cruise ship we all said we would never travel that way. Never say never. Soon after that, one of our dearest friends was […]
Read more "Notes From The Sea"Everyone I know who has been to Singapore has told me that they adore the city with its orderliness, it cleanliness, and its shear beauty. I was anticipating a wonderful visit, but I certainly wasn’t expecting a fabulous flight from Hong Kong to Singapore. I chose Singapore Airlines because they offered a better deal than […]
Read more "Notes From the Road: Singapore Swing"When I was a young opera singer and travelling the world to perform, I always hoped that when I was a senior, I would be able to fly Business Class.

Read more "Notes from the Road: Hong Kong"Heading Charles’ bucket list has always been a trip to Hong Kong and Singapore, with Angkor Wat in the mix. Top of my list was South Africa, and if you are following my blogs you will know what a fantastic trip that was last year.

Read more "Notes from the Road: The Far East Part 1"My biggest fear when I booked this trip and when I got on the small aircraft that took us to Sabi Sands from Nelspruit, was that I wouldn’t see The Big Five. When our small plane landed on a narrow airstrip in the bush and it came to a stop, we were met by our […]
Read more "African Dream Come True"The Cape Winelands in South Africa is a particularly beautiful region of majestic mountains and valleys, small historic towns, breathtaking scenery and wine estates. We visited two areas, Franschoek and Stellenbosch, but one of the highlights was a stop at the Cheetah Outreach Center. Our grand daughter, Rose, has a fascination with Cheetahs so I […]
Read more "More South African Dream"Cape Town was a mystery to me. I knew only that it was in South Africa and by the sea. Many friends who had visited there said it was a must do. Although I was anxious to get to the animals in Sabi Sand, I listened to their advice about a visit to Cape Town. […]
Read more "South African Dream Pt. 1"I have always adored animals and for years dreamt of going to Africa to see them up close. It took me time to figure out where to go, but finally I settled on South Africa. This was my bucket list choice, and frankly Charles was not that keen. He said we could go to The Wild […]
Read more "South African Dream"It is that time of year; the wonderful, crazy, breathless Christmas season. My intention was to write about our incredible South African trip before we got deep into Christmas, but alas it will have to wait for a few weeks. We are heading off on a month long journey which of course I will record […]
Read more "South Africa coming soon"I mentioned in earlier blogs that Charles, my husband and travelling companion, flies gliders. The weather in Florida is not always great for gliding in January so we continue our travel chapter at this time of year usually to distant locales.
