Travel Quote: The Road is Life
The travel quote “The Road is Life” resonates with me because I feel that deep down in my soul. When I’m on my way somewhere, anywhere, I feel alive. I don’t know what to expect, but I am so excited to go there. I want to see and learn new things. Sometimes it is nice to arrive quickly because I am so anxious, that I just can’t wait to get there. But, I have to remind myself to enjoy the journey and not get ahead of myself. I do prefer to travel slowly and soak up every bit of the journey that I can. I do enjoy air travel as…

Travel Quote: Someday is an illusion
I agree wholeheartedly with this travel quote, Someday is an illusion and if you wait for it to arrive in order to do something, you’re going to be waiting forever. It’s never the perfect time. Too many people want to wait until they have enough money, or the get a better job, or the kids are older, and they waste their life waiting. They say “I’ll do it someday”, but someday never comes. They end up regretting the choices they never made and the trips they never took. I don’t want to spend my life waiting and wishing for someday to arrive. I want to take advantage of the time…

New Orleans, Louisiana: Loving the Big Easy
New Orleans, Louisiana (aka NOLA, aka “The Big Easy”) is a city I love a lot more than I ever thought I would. However, I shouldn’t have been surprised. Uniqueness and mystery cover the city like a cloak, waiting for visitors to discover the surprises within. My First Trip The first time I went to New Orleans, it was just a stopover for a cruise that was leaving from the Julia Street Cruise Terminal. I didn’t really get to see much of the city itself. I was there for the evening before the cruise was to leave port. Not only was I there for a short time, I was extremely…

Camping: Something for Everyone
One thing I’ve always loved to do was to go camping. I grew up camping beside a set of lakes near my hometown. Most of the summers of my childhood revolve around staying at the lakes and fishing. My parents had a small camper and we would stay in it nearly every weekend during the summer months. My grandparents had a bigger Winnebago, and they were often parked right next to us. We had a lot of fun sitting on the bank with a fishing pole in hand. My great uncle taught me how to drive a trolling motor, so we would go out on the lake and fish. He…

Why travel?
What travel means to me… Travel is one of the most important dreams in my life. I would give up many of the comforts in life if it meant that I could travel more. But, many people do not understand why I feel this way. They look at me like I’m crazy and wonder “Why travel?” Well, ladies and gentlemen, I’ll tell you… All of my life, traveling has been a source of pleasure and enjoyment. When I was a child, my grandparents went on vacation every year, and they would take one of the grandkids with them. I was so excited when it was my turn to go. I’ll…
