Virtually travel with a pair of history lovers on our occasional travels (when we can go). See our favorite destinations, learn how to be your own travel guide, see off-the-beaten-path places, and learn cool historical back stories.
I'll share real-life reviews of Delta flights, random travel mishaps and how to avoid them, plus my itinerary and budget planning tricks, recommendations for our favorite products and links, how to pack carryon only (no matter how long), and how to travel on (and stick to) a budget.
2025/26 plans: France...twice! 1st to Paris, Giverny, the Loire, Bretegne and overnight on Mont Saint-Michel in 2025. Then I'll be back to Paris in March 2026 to explore museums and gardens, plus more of the Latin quarter. And of course, more Delta trip reports and skyclubs, and south Florida.

Today in #Paris: Wandered the Marais to some historical spots, a surprise museum AND went in the National Archives for a free look at Napoleon's will, among other cool ancient documents. 😃

Sights from #Paris today, the Petit Palais, the amazing fashion exhibit at Palais Galliera, a cliché touristy lunch spot with a view, and the beautiful Seine river. ☺️

Super blustery, stormy day in #Paris today, but I grabbed a raincoat and umbrella and managed to walk all through the Latin Qtr, bought coffee and souvenirs at Shakespeare & Co, lunch from one of Paris' best boulangeries and then went back out to walk through underground Roman ruins that you *might not have ever heard of! Magnificent day! 🤩

I fly to Paris tomorrow! Would you all be interested in some kind of boots on the ground short vids along the way *or* a small livestream if I can figure out the tech while I'm there?

Hi everyone! Quick update: I may not have a new video ready until after Easter, because (drum roll) I'll be BACK IN PARIS and Chantilly for more wandering the streets, cool museums, history, chateaux, horseback riding and patisseries, plus flight reviews! Still watching weather reports and agonizing over my carryon capsule wardrobe, but looking forward to all the next videos.
Still ahead from our prior trip: more Loire chateaux, then fortresses at Angers, Fougeres, and a magical overnight at Mont St Michel. 😀😀

What video would you rather see next? All three topics are in the works, but I'd love to know what sounds good for next week 😃

HUNTING/CAMPING packing list is now live at my Spring store. Hope this helps you! It's everything we pack for elk and deer camp in the fall in a wall tent. For all the moms/wives/significant others who do all the planning and packing - this is for you! FOUR PAGES of ALL THE THINGS.
(NOTE: This assumes the hunter in the family is packing their own actual hunting gear, guns, ammo, etc - I have no idea what each hunter would need - but this will keep the whole TENT part of the week organized).
Our family has been hunting and camping together since the late 1980s, so if it's not on this list, you probably don't need it! :)
link below (I wish it was cheaper but Spring takes basically ALL the money...oof) Happy camping!
