OURS WASN'T A LUXURY TRIP by any standards but the lodging Gabriel booked was more than acceptable. All of the hotels were clean and relatively quiet, modest places for real people. My favorite was La Parguera Resort in the funky beach town ... Read more >

WE ARE SHARING THE 3-BEDROOM SUITE at Casa Aramana with Otto and Helgor from Dusseldorf and Michael from Scranton, but it is like having the place to ourselves. The Germans are napping and Michael is off to the beach. This is a perfect ... Read more >

I CAN’T FOR THE LIFE OF ME REMEMBER WHERE IT CAME FROM — a travel poster for Barbados that adorned my Rutgers dorm room back in ’65. I don't know what it was that attracted me — wasn't even sure where Barbados was —... Read more >

WE REMEMBERED NORTH BEACH RV RESORT in St. Augustine as one of our favorites. The sites are canopied by live oaks and it sits right across from the beach. It also gave us a chance to visit my sister again. Who knows at my age, when ... Read more >

IT’S A LONG WAY FROM THE PLAINS OF THE SERENGETI to Plains, Georgia. Heck, it took 35 hours just to get to Atlanta! The RV was waiting for us at Carole’s farm, just as we left it, so after doing a couple of loads of laundry and ... Read more >
