RTW Travel – How Much Does It Cost?
How much to travel the world? This post on our costs is way overdue… To travel around the world was my childhood dream. The restlessness behind such a dream is one of the few personality traits that I share with my husband. We left Ireland in 1995 planning to spend “just a couple of years” Read the Rest…
Bokeo Village Faces
We’ve all been downed by a cold/flu for a few days so instead of a post, today I’m sharing some photos of the villagers which we took on our way out of the Gibbon Experience . Enjoy! We met these local boys on our way back into the village. They were having a grand old Read the Rest…

Oh, yes, the joys of traveling with teen boy (bathroom) humor. It’s a laugh-a-minute most days. Trust me. Head on over to DeliciousBaby for more Read the Rest…

This is our group at Read the Rest…

Before we left on our trip, one of the first questions friends asked was “What will you bring with you?” – usually my (women) friends and usually incredulously. This post is a long-overdue answer to that question and also because my friend Peter challenged me that even with all my careful shopping the contents of Read the Rest…
