Aboard Jewel of the Seas, a favorite ship of ours, we enjoyed a foray into the history and geology of Canada’s Atlantic coast while enjoying the joys of friendships, longtime and new. Now we’re looking forward to returning to the same ship for further adventures!
So much has happened since our last post. We'd love to go into greater detail about every adventure but it's time we got you caught up to where we are now. Hopefully we'll do a better of job of timely posts going forward. It was way back on Tuesday July 11th that we...
What an incredible opportunity! A friend from Florida visiting her son and his girlfriend in Massachusetts while we were in the area and mutual friends who live on the Massachusetts coast made for a great afternoon visit and delicious meal at The Old Grist Mill Tavern...
This phase of our trip, since we left Illinois, it definitely more about visits with family and friends with occasional cool places to visit or outstanding eateries. We're finding ourselves truly appreciating the time we can spend tucked into our T@B 400. Yesterday we...
After a delightful overnight in Connecticut where we joined friends Lynda & Ben for dinner and again for breakfast, we headed east on US-44. Ultimately we landed in Middleboro, Massachusetts and in need of some good sustenance. Luckily we chose Charred Oak Tavern,...
In July of last year we fell in love with Caffe Zia Gianna in Dorchester, Massachusetts. We returned this morning and were delighted not only that the food was just as delicious and the service just as friendly as we remembered, but that Nino remembered us as the...
Heading to Boston via US-20 we passed through Sturbridge, Massachusetts and couldn't help but think of that one line in James Taylor's Sweet Baby James so we queued it up and listened to the song. Just before leaving the US highway we paused for refreshment. We're...
This morning we hugged and kissed our grandsons and their parents and left them to settle into their new normalcy while we headed to northwestern Connecticut. This evening we joined Ben & Lynda for a dinner at The Delaney House in Holyoke MA to celebrate the...
If you are a fan of Baker’s Chocolate in general or of German’s German's Chocolate Cake in particular, this is where it all began, on the banks of the Neponset River in Dorchester MA. Established in 1765 as Hannon’s Best Chocolate, Baker’s has been a mainstay of the...
What a delicious discovery! It's Zia Gianna Italian Bakery & Caffe on Dorchester Avenue in Boston MA. We chose it as a destination for this morning's walk about and were treated not only to a most delectable Eola Frittata and a Classic American Breakfast prepared...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
