  • Where to Next??

    Where to Next??

    Where to next? We actually have a trip planned coming up soon. There’s so many place left to explore. We both have places we want to see we just have to take turns on who gets their pick for the year! It boils down to flight prices for us. That’s the biggest expense in traveling.… Read more

  • Bucket List Trip: City #4

    Bucket List Trip: City #4

    Rome is where we started this trip and Rome is where we ended this trip. First, let me tell you about landing in Rome. Young people won’t remember this but back in the 70’s & 80’s there were a lot of airplane hijackings. After that most all airports built their international terminals out away from… Read more

  • Bucket List Trip: City #3

    Bucket List Trip: City #3

    We left Naples by train headed to Florence. It was a two hour train ride. We had booked a seat that had a table and it was shared with whoever booked the other side. While waiting for everyone to board Kay struck up a conversation with a gentleman across the aisle. He could speak some… Read more

    Bucket List Trip: City #2

    Welcome to our little review of Naples. We have Instagram Friends that absolutely love Naples. We were aware that it was heavily populated and that really didn’t bother us. It’s the home of pizza so we had to go! It’s also the home of the National Archaeological Museum which Kay really wanted to see. We… Read more

  • Bucket List Trip: City #1

    Bucket List Trip: City #1

    When I decided to start the blogging again, but this time instead of recipes do a travel blog and help 60 & over learn from our mistakes. Be honest about what worked and didn’t. I actually started it backwards. Instead of the first trip I started with our last trip. I’ll start with our itinerary… Read more

  • Mercato Centrale

    Mercato Centrale

    That huge green roof represents not a famous museum but Central Market of Florence. Downstairs you have all the fresh food you can imagine in your entire life! Upstairs they use those fresh organic ingredients to create any type of meal you are hungry for at the moment. Very reasonably. We usually could eat a… Read more

  • Churches of Florence

    Churches of Florence

    I have talked so much about safety, how we travel, just information. We have so many beautiful pictures that we love to share. You can see Italy through our eyes. Just a little information on Florence. It sits at the top of the region know as Tuscany. Tuscany is the area where the majority of… Read more

  • We Got it Right!

    We Got it Right!

    January 2024 we went back to Italy. Kay’s Mom was like you’ve already been. Yes we had but there is just SO much to see and do. This time we didn’t try to do everything. We both agreed that other than the long flight (we had two layovers), the trip itself was perfect. I had… Read more

  • A Little Reminiscing

    A Little Reminiscing

    Today 3 years ago we were walking the streets of Pompeii. We had spent several day in Sorrento, taken a beautiful ride up the Amalfi Coast, and now Pompeii! Kay was so excited, she had read a book in elementary school and had dreamed of seeing the city someday. The Amalfi Coast is just absolutely… Read more

  • Safety on the Go

    Safety on the Go

    Safety was one of the big things that we considered before we made the trip. Just think about all the REALLY important things that you must have with you one your trip, credit cards, passport, cash. This is one thing we did right. I mentioned in the first post that we had two years to… Read more
