We’ve been fortunate to travel to many iconic cities in the 10 years we’ve been together. From going on multi-country jaunts in Europe on a group tour to getting to these locations by cruise ship, we love checking out new travel destinations.

Last year around this time we were on our whirlwind two week trip across France, England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland! We did France on our own before joining our tour group for England, Scotland, and Ireland on a guided trip with Go Ahead Tours. And on our way to Ireland, we had a stopover in
On our spring trip to Japan, we stayed in Tokyo, the Mt. Fuji region, and Kyoto, and while in Kyoto we had a day trip to Nara! We didn’t exactly spend a full 24 hours there, but we did have a great day exploring the city before returning to Kyoto that night. We were excited

Rick and I were so excited to finally, finally visit Scotland in 2023, seeing as we originally booked the trip in 2018 for a 2020 travel date!

It’s official! We’re returning to Spain this year! We both fell in love with Spain when we went to Barcelona five years ago and have been working on finding the right time to return and continue our exploration of this fabulous travel destination.
