Amy and Dave are recent retirees juggling the fun of travel with the responsibilities of family.

We love wildlife, the outdoors, and exploring on bike or on foot. We sprinkle in a bit of luxury travel when we’re able to and feel it’s really worth it.

We’ve made changes in our lives to allow us these journeys and hope by sharing our insights, you too can travel to your bucket list destinations!

Foxglove - first year seeing this lovely (but toxic) plant in our neighborhood.

#tbt to one of our favorite reasons to sail with Windstar Cruises- the Signature Event. We have had extraordinary opportunities on each of our trips but the dinner in Ephesus was the best! We arrived after the crowds had departed and enjoyed music, wine, and a sumptuous meal in front of the #LibraryofCelsus.

Perfect time for a #daytrip to Heritage Museums & Gardens on #CapeCod. Dozens of varieties of rhododendron are in bloom - all hybrids developed by the botanist Charles Dexter. We joined some of our favorite people IN PERSON for a walk, talk, and picnic.

First time navigating this new travel world. We’re fully vaccinated and heading for a long overdue family visit.
