Written by Kim We continued west as we left Pittsburgh. We drove about 5 hours – a bit longer than you might expect because Alex routed us north to drive along Lake Erie rather than taking the interstate. It was a nice drive going through some small downtowns with lots of different types of homes […]

Written by Kim Our drive in was about 4 1/2 hours because we decided to take a no toll road route – we’re not in a hurry what’s an extra hour to avoid the trucks and traffic on the PA turnpike. It was quite foggy as we road along the river. Pittsburgh is the 2nd […]

Written by Kim When we left NJ it felt more like the start of our trip but it’s already day 5 since we left home. We traveled 2 1/2 hours through Nj to Lancaster City, PA. We didn’t do the typical Amish tour we went into the city. Our first stop was the central market […]

Written by Kim The trip from Richmond to NJ was very familiar to us as we do it often. We traveled about 350 miles through 4 more states – DC, MD, DE and NJ – all of which we’ve been to many times. I did good with my signs but we started a new approach […]

Written by Kim We picked up our rental car on Thursday afternoon to begin packing for our adventure. Just like the Seinfeld episode, they didn’t have the car we ordered, a small SUV like Rav 4, so we got a larger Ford Explorer. It’s nice because it’s more roomy but will cost more in gas. […]

Written by Kim On Friday we will start our USA road trip. Our goal is for both of us to complete seeing all 50 states before returning home. Since it will be a long trip that we expect will take about 6 weeks we are setting a limit of 4-5 hours of driving per day. […]

Written by Kim Alex had a golf trip with some Myrtle friends in Asheville so I tagged along instead of sitting home. We left a few days early to check out the Sierra Nevada brewery and Harrah’s Cherokee casino before the golf tournament started. We started our trip with a stop at the Sierra Nevada […]

Written by Kim & Alex Many of our friends have asked what our favorite cruise line is. Honestly, there are things we like about each so thought we’d do a summary of our thoughts and experiences. We’ve been on 28 cruises – 25 on Royal Caribbean, 2 on Celebrity, 1 on Virgin. On Royal we […]

Written by Kim Our last 2 days onboard were sea days. It was fun to explore the ship. Last time we were on her was 2013 shortly after she launched. There was one refurbishment since then but no real significant changes. Silhouette is a beautiful mid-sized ship that holds about 3,000 passengers. I didn’t take […]

Written by Kim We’ve been to Antigua several times. Most times we go to a beach because Antigua is know for their beaches. They have 365 beaches, one for every day of the year, along their Caribbean Sea coastline. The island is only 108 square miles so basically all beach. Several years ago we golfed […]
