Travel Stories - June 2020
Montezuma Castle National Monument
As Debra and I drove from Phoenix to Flagstaff, we spotted a sign for Montezuma Castle. "A castle in Arizona," we thought. "Let's go see it." We were in for a pleasant surprise!
An Oasis in the Desert
​Sometimes, as I discovered this day on this 14 mile bike ride, even the shortest trips can provide scenic sights to see!
Here Fishy, Fishy!
​Debra and I spent a lovely afternoon at the New England Aquarium, where we saw thousands of fish and other underwater creatures. We had a grand time!
Strange Creatures
Debra and I were on the Isle of Skye and Orkney Island, where we spotted two "strange creatures." They were amazing!
Montmorency Falls
Debra and I "battled' the elements to visit Montmorency Falls near Quebec City. The waterfall and scenery were breathtaking!
The Kingdom of Dublin (Day 1)
Jill and I "hit the ground running" in Dublin after an overnight flight from Philadelphia - a couple of pubs, a distillery, an iconic church, and more. It was a great start to our Irish Adventure!
Waimea Canyon
Debra and I, with our daughter Jill, spent a wonderful day sightseeing the beautiful island of Kauai. Our first stop was Waimea Canyon. It was spectacular!
Our Mountain Getaway
Debra and I headed to the mountaintop resort communities of Show Low and Pinetop-Lakeside for some R&R. Slow pace, tall pines, cooler temperatures, scenic beauty, and more.  We loved it!
Threadgill's
While in Austin, Debra and I had dinner at Threadgill's. There, in the 1960s, a University of Texas coed got her start to rock stardom! 
The Spillway at Pymatuning Reservoir
My mom, sister, and I reprised many family vacations with an afternoon outing to feed the carp at Pymatuning Reservoir. It was great fun!
