What’s coming up in 2022?
It’s that time of year again! That time when I post about what’s coming up in the new year with regard to our travel plans! I love writing these posts, I am so filled with hope and optimism. But didn’t …

Photo Highlights of 2021
Putting a compilation of my favorite photos together at the end of a very active year is difficult to say the least. It’s also a challenge to pick something that’s technically good versus an image that may not be perfectly …
