We were on our way to Avalon, the urban gem of Catalina Island. 22 miles from the mainland, in the ‘olden days’ this ride used take up to 4 hours to cross. On the Catalina Express ferry boat it took us only 60 minutes. From budget […]

We drove up from Lago di Como in Italy ultimately passing through Logano. I have been to Switzerland several times in the past and if you had told me we would […]
