WELCOME

This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet. We will share stories about people and places we have encountered from around the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and more. This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.

Exploration teaches you lots of things --- about yourself.


Marietta McLellan having breakfast at a B&B in Florence, Italy. A stop on a month in Northern Italy. Florence is a lovely place. It is ranked by many as the best place to travel in the world. I am not sure about that as I have not been everywhere in the world, but it is a good stop.  We travel to explore new places and sometimes those places are inside ourselves. Our trips begin with "What if?" and "Can we?". The stop in Florence was part of "What if we rent a car and drive the Alps?"  It included, "Can we do Rome, Florence and Venice first?" The answer lies inside us. Do we risk going where we don't speak the language? Can we be honest and open enough to allow others to help us? Do we trust them? Do we trust ourselves? What if sometime negative happens, can we rise to the occasion?

We do not start with the answers to those questions. We start by lots of planning and a leap of faith.
