Well, let’s think about the bigger picture and one of the basic ideas in the book. The book came out in 1997 and although I can’t remember every single aspect of it, I… Read More

What You Don’t Want While on Vacation

by Marian Krueger, in category Travel Tips

When you finally make the decision to go on vacation, there is probably one item you don’t check off on your to-do list: Getting sick. Be it before your vacation or while you are on it, becoming sick is not a vacation memory anyone wants to bring back home. I read the blog post “Traveling… Read More

Cruising with Technology

by Marian Krueger, in category Travel Tips

There was a time in the past when going on a cruise meant that you were far removed from everyone including your work. No phones, no follow up, just time to sit back and enjoy your vacation. These days we have the luxury of not only going online in our ship’s internet cafe or kiosk,… Read More

Air Travel and Speaking Up When It Counts

by Marian Krueger, in category Travel Tips

Sometimes you have to do a double take at what people consider acceptable behavior. When traveling, speaking up when it counts, on behalf of oneself or especially others, is something of a rarity.  For example, I was recently on a flight when a man got up from his seat and started complaining. The strange thing… Read More

Pre-Travel Anxiety and What You Can Do to Relieve It

by Marian Krueger, in category Travel Tips
Pre-travel anxiety

Let’s be honest here. Not everyone is going to have pre-travel anxiety. What is it? It’s the anxiety you experience when you as the wife and mother do all the planning for your family in order to make that dream vacation a reality. The weeks and months leading up to your trip are ones filled… Read More

Another Reason to Use a Travel Agent

by Marian Krueger, in category Travel Tips

In November I wrote a blog post about the benefits of using a travel agent. That post was so well received I thought I would write a little more on the topic. I’m often asked if there are fees to use a travel agent. Some travel agents do charge fees for different services, like booking… Read More

#TRAVEL THOUGHTS: Another beautiful day in #Califo #TRAVEL THOUGHTS: Another beautiful day in #California even when I’m at the dentist. Check out the view looking over toward Warner Bros. Studio and that mountain. You never see a view like this on the East coast.

#TRAVEL THOUGHTS: On yet another day where I can’t travel like most of you, I’m dreaming of my trip to Vietnam in August of 2019. I had such a great visit and I so miss the colors, the food, and of course, the people. What city are you reminiscing about today?

#TRAVEL/LIFE THOUGHTS: 2020 hasn’t been everyone #TRAVEL/LIFE THOUGHTS: 2020 hasn’t been everyone’s favorite year, but regardless we need to vote to have our voices heard. I felt like I was back in school reading through the huge booklets Los Angeles sends out voters, but it’s my responsibility to understand what I am voting for in this election. So many propositions and millions of dollars spent to get voters to vote a certain way. Thank God I didn’t rely on the commercials to vote because the ones with the most money shouldn’t be the ones to win. Make your voice heard and vote because every vote does count. I’m still optimistic that the political system can work and that our country can move forward. Did you vote today or are you going in person on Election Day?

Today was the first day where I could see and smell it. Smells like a campfire and the sky is just weird looking. Here’s to hoping they get it all under control soon and that everyone can be safe. And I can see sun and some blue sky again! 🌞

#TRAVEL/LIFE THOUGHTS: If you know me or follow me #TRAVEL/LIFE THOUGHTS: If you know me or follow me, you’ve probably noticed that I went from traveling and posting often to pretty much barely anything for the past two years. I’ve experienced some twists and turns on this journey we call life and that’s taken me away from what I’ve loved: My website and my love of travel. Today I am officially divorced after two years of legal procedures. I will have more on my site as I get it up and going again but first this. The long cross country drive I just took? Yeah that’s because I decided to pack up and move to Los Angeles. Got here on the 1st, promptly got a cold the next day and oh yeah - don’t know where my movers are yet with my stuff.
.
So if you’re feeling down, know that life is constantly changing and evolving. Choose wisely and you’ll be rewarded. Nothing is better than warm weather, water, and sand. (Don’t panic - I didn’t go to the #beach but this is what I’ve always thought of when I’ve thought of California.

#TRAVEL THOUGHTS: What happens when you visit Las #TRAVEL THOUGHTS: What happens when you visit Las Vegas? Do you go where you’ve already been or do you go somewhere new? I’m all for trying new things and you can imagine my surprise when I found a Jollibee here. It was inside a Seafood City, which I would never have visited as I don’t eat seafood. But Seafood City is actually a rather large Filipino market that transported me from the desert of Nevada straight back to the Philippines. They have everything and then some as well as a Red Ribbon bakery, Chow King, and of course Jollibee.how can you resist the Jollibee bee’s face?
