The Great Wall of China!
We’re on a Quest! To visit all of the New Seven Wonders of the World. So far we’ve been awed by the ancient city Petra, played on the ball court of Chichen Itza, pretended we were gladiators in the Roman Coliseum, and huffed and …

Those wonderful chemicals the body produces for FREE when you do something good! Giving your time to do things to help others smile or to make our planet a better place gives back in ways you never thought possible. Volunteering can put a spring in your step and a glow …

We’re walking through high rose-colored cliffs, the sky peeking through to light our dusty footsteps. The path is called the Siq – meaning shaft. It is a very narrow path at some points measuring no more than three meters across. Much of the path …

Swimming with the manatees in Florida! Sometimes we forget that great things can be close to home, too. We’re “home” in Florida for about six weeks before continuing on our “around-the-world” trip to Egypt, Beijing, and the South Pacific. This time we headed to Homosassa River springs, ...

Our first day in Paris didn’t quite go exactly as planned.
It was a 1 and 1/2 hour train ride from Brussels, landing us in the Paris Gare du Nord station. We got great directions to our hotel and proceeded through to the Metro trains. When we got to the …
