Moraine Lake, Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada

This is the most beautiful place I've ever seen.

    I agree - Banff is among the most amazing destinations. However, the first time we visited, there was the thickest of fog, and we saw NOTHING. Not the entire like, not the forest, not the mountains. Many years later, we had the chance to return and were rewarded with a blue sky kind of day. Gorgeous!

Travel Tips: Jet Lag

  Photo by Donald Merrill on Unsplash Tips for Easing (and Avoiding) Jet Lag Over the years, we’ve done some traveling across time zones, and if there’s one thing that can really take the fun out of a trip, it’s jet lag. It seems that I suffer more from jet lag than John.  I spend the first few days feeling like a zombie - totally wiped out, disoriented, digestive issues, and unable to sleep (even though I'm totally exhausted.)  The jet lag can persist for days, sometimes, making it really difficult to get into the groove of travel.  At times I've felt like I've finally adjusted when it's time to board our flight home.  What is Jet Lag? Jet lag happens when your body is still running on one time zone, but you’ve suddenly arrived in another. Your circadian rhythm - which is what tells you to feel awake or feel sleepy - is controlled by light.  After a long flight across several time zones, and your internal clock hasn’t had time to catch up. It can leave you...

April 1 - Firing it up again!

Today feels like (another) new beginning.  I always have good intentions with this forum, but then seem to fall away and put it on the back burner.  I think I suffer from writer's block and am always very critical of my own writing  While I enjoy writing, and getting my thoughts down, it's not natural for me. However, this month I am going to participate in the  Ultimate Blog Challenge  where I will be committing to posting daily for the month of April.   This blog has always been a place where I share pieces of our retirement life, especially the travel side of it. Not in a "look where we went" kind of way, but more as a way to remember the moments, the lessons, and the small things that made each experience meaningful. So for this challenge, I'm setting a few simple goals: to be consistent - even on days that I don't feel like writing to capture more of the everyday moments and not just the highlights to share a mix of stories, tips, and reflections ...

Slow Travel

Photo by Timo Stern on Unsplash   Slow Travel: Learning to Slow Down and Enjoy the Journey Over the past few years, the way we travel has started to change. There was a time when travel felt like it was all about seeing as much as possible. Moving from place to place, trying not to miss anything, and fitting as much as we could into a short period of time. While that kind of travel can be exciting, it can also feel a little rushed, exhausting, and overwhelming. More recently, we’ve found ourselves slowing things down a bit and enjoying our travels so much more because of it. What is slow travel? Slow travel is really just what it sounds like. Instead of moving quickly from one place to the next, it’s about staying longer and taking the time to really experience where you are. It might mean spending a week (or more) in one place, rather than a few days. It gives you the chance to settle in, get comfortable, and start to feel a bit more connected to your surroundings. You begin to no...
