It’s Not Over Until…

“The moment where you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever being able to do it.” – Peter Pan

Well, it’s just not over until I give props to Murph! The amount of time and effort he puts forth for these journeys to take flight is truly amazing!
Unflappable!
Guiding us along – reserving rooms, events, cars, trains, museums, timed tickets for the Vatican, the Sistine Chapel, the Colosseum & monuments to visit…buying passes for vaparettoes (boats in Venice) & tubes (subways in London).
Seriously, it takes MONTHS to plan all of this – AND he does this without even whining ❤️
A couple of happy travelers!
“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” – Edith Wharton
In addition to all of that, he’s my editor. Before I send any of my blog posts he looks them over first.

He even hangs on to me so I don’t blow away with the wind!
A photographer, too.
We aren’t really shoppers, and especially not when we travel. Limited amount of luggage space, ya know. Except when I saw a man wearing this shirt while we were in Ljubljana I knew I HAD to have one. Fast forward about 10 days and I found it in a shop while we were in Kobarid.
“Think not that you can direct the course of love; for love…directs your course.” – Khalil Gilbran

****A word with you please **** When we talked about traveling to England, Wales and Europe this past summer, many of our friends voiced concern. Let’s face it, the good ole U.S. of A. no longer has a great reputation. Several people thought we’d experience animosity because we were American. I’m here to tell you, it was just the opposite – we spoke with people from England, Italy, Slovenian, Australia, Switzerland & Vancouver to name a few. Unilaterally, they showed compassion and concern for the citizens of our country. They realize that “we the people” is different than the people who are running us into the ground. They’re worried and didn’t hesitate to tell us so. But hey! we only have three more years to survive right? 🤔

One of the great things about travel is you find out how many good, kind people there are.” – Edith Wharton
