March 13, 2018 by Linda CLeave a Comment

SOURCE: flickr.com Prior to the 2014 Winter Olympics, how many people had heard of Sochi? Outside of Russia, the answer is probably very few.

Why Nashville Is A Bucket List Destination

July 2, 2017 by A Couple for the RoadLeave a Comment

A strange article for me to write is "how cool" Nashville is. Don't get me wrong, it's a great city. In fact now, it's possibly the hottest, growing city in the American South. It's hip. It's cool. People are moving there by the thousands from larger, more well-known cities such as New York, Miami and Los Angeles. Nashville is not only a travel mecca, but in fact a domestic mecca - a place where 30-somethings are congregating in hoards to … [Read more...]

Cruising into Old San Juan, Puerto Rico

January 2, 2017 by Dave9 Comments

The day dawned clear on the Holland America Line MS Eurodam after the stormy nauseating seas of the past few days.
