THE NEW YEAR IS HERE

Loading

Just when I thought this year’s travels couldn’t possibly top 2024, I was wrong.  Most of what made 2025 so memorable wasn’t exactly what we had in mind (Brazil visa snafu), but the recent Thanksgiving travel more than made up for that.  By a landslide.  Here’s the annual recap (click on each to read the post):

Argentina (Buenos Aires)

Uruguay

Iguazu Falls (Argentina)

Paraguay

Aruba

Anguilla

Barbados

Washington, D.C.

Unforgettable October

Dubai

Israel Part 1 & Part 2

Jordan

Paris

Even I think that’s a lot now that it’s all listed.  But, wait — here comes 2026 (as of now):

Honolulu

NYC

Saudi Arabia

Bahrain

Kuwait

Botswana

South Africa

Rwanda

Kenya

Oman 

The spring trip with eight countries is big and glorious, marking our upcoming 40th wedding anniversary.  I think reaching that milestone is worthy of some epic travel and fortunately the hubby agrees.

Wishing each and every one of you a splendid year ahead full of adventure and time well spent.

So what did we do with our final 2+ days in Israel (read Part 1 HERE)? A lot (after our visit to Eilat). Our wonderful guide Aryeh had a sudden and unexpected departure to deal with a family matter, so he arranged for driver Younes to shuttle us to Jerusalem. Younes was only too happy […]

International Travel, Things You Should Know

“Wow, that’s an ambitious itinerary” was said to us more than once upon sharing our plans. But when one has a limited number of days in which to see all the priority sites, one must be ambitious. We could always adjust on the fly if it became untenable. Happily that was not the case. I […]

“What is the reason for your travel?” That was the first question posed to us at passport control upon landing at Ben Gurion Airport. It didn’t take long to answer. “To help the Israeli tourist economy. And to show people how absolutely safe it is to travel in Israel.” That is not some made up […]
