Travel
Prior to joining the cruise on the Zambezi River, we had a bit of time and I may have gently pushed for tea time at the Victoria Falls hotel as I was having some withdrawal from sweets and the cake tower seemed right up my alley. Helen was from England […]
I might be the only person left with internet access that doesn’t watch YouTube videos of cats doing funny things. I’ve always been a dog person – raising a puppy to a full grown dog (in my case, having dachshunds, a full grown dog is still quite a small dog full of […]
My whirlwind day of activities at Victoria Falls included a helicopter tour over the falls which would add a layer to my visit having seen the falls by land the day before. I already felt the “wow” factor the day before so now I was excited to see the falls by air. The helicopter tour […]
The fun of traveling is experiencing something new and for me, this usually means desserts. I can honestly say I have an international sweet tooth and the quest to satisfy it is quite fun, especially as my food journal and I are divorced when I travel. Plus we all know […]

The journey from Botswana to Zimbabwe would be by road, thankfully no more little planes. The transport picked me up and we drove through Kasane to pick up a British couple at their lodge. From there a quick twenty minute drive to the border all in the open air vehicle normally used […]
Growing up in a classic Philly rowhouse, we were lucky to have a small patch of lawn in front of the house that we shared with a neighbor and never used as it was my dad’s territory – the lawn had to be perfect. The backyard was the dog’s territory. So no trees, […]
Having done walking safari, boat safari, I was ready for the jeep safari at Chobe. As with the other mornings, I was dressed in layers, slathered in sunscreen and bug repellent with my backpack full of supplies, excited and ready to go. I quickly consumed a power bar for breakfast and met […]
