Technology and travel go hand in hand and staying stylish and fashionable shouldn’t be left out of this important equation. I’ve had my fair share of iPhone and iPad cases and they either functional, but not stylish or stylish, but not functional.

Gettysburg/Battlefield KOA Campground Our first full day in Gettysburg! We had a much more peaceful night’s sleep after Rich figured out that we could, in fact, turn the heat on inside the RV once we were connected to power at the campground.

Are you cruise line dedicated? Do you find yourself taking cruises on only one brand because that’s the brand you started with and are happy with the brand? Does the thought of straying and trying another cruise line scare you? Maybe just a little bit? Don’t worry… you’re not alone. Many people start out with a… Read More
One of the many places we wanted to stop and see on our New Year’s trip to Berlin was Winter World at the Sony Center in Potzdamer Platz. We were on an extremely relaxed schedule with no deadlines and nowhere to be at any specific time so we wandered the city at our own pace. You… Read More
