New Wanderlust Experience

March 22, 2017

One of our wishlist experiences is to see lava in its purest form.

This is a wishlist experience we have traveled long and far to witness.

We have traveled to some of the most volcanic areas of the earth including Hawaii, Iceland and Central America and have never seen any. Hawaii’s big island had been witnessing a continuous eruption for months, we arrived exactly when it finished. Central America is littered with wild volcanos… but not a glimmer… Typical! … More New Wanderlust Experience

Architects of Beauty

November 22, 2016

There is nothing like experiencing the natural world first hand. Marveling at landscapes, the beauty and the splendor is one thing but getting a close up with it is something else.

One aspect that has always captured our imagination is the ancient ice fields otherwise known as glaciers. The sheer size and age of many of these giants is beyond comprehension. They shape the valleys, gorges and passes – essentially they are the architects of beauty. … More Architects of Beauty

So how does one cope with change? … More Coping with Change

City of Islands – Stockholm

January 25, 2016

We recently had the pleasure of visiting a European city I didn’t know much about. That city is the Swedish capital of Stockholm.

Having previously visited Reykjavik, Copenhagen and Helsinki, and thoroughly enjoyed all of them – we had high hopes for Stockholm. I am pleased to say it didn’t disappoint. We only had a couple of hours here, but it was such a beautiful city. I fell in love with it instantly. … More City of Islands – Stockholm

The City of Angels – Los Angeles

January 21, 2016

While suffering with a recent back injury I was confined to our house, so much so, that the lounge and sofa became my closest friends. As I was pretty much immobile I was stuck watching TV most days and believe me there is nothing good about daytime TV. So I switched to TV boxsets, and found one called Entourage. A good friend of mine always spoke so highly of the series, so I started watching it.
