Grounded due to Covid, we can still plan for dream trips to look forward to in 2021 and/or 2022. Australia is one of those dreamy getaways on many bucket lists so sharing my memories of my first trip to Australia, when I pointed to page 10 of the Qantas vacation […]
Visiting Zion National Park is easy to do for travelers of all ages and activity levels. There are two paved accessible paths at Zion that are lovely walks and easy to do with fantastic sights. I had planned on doing more intensive hiking at the park but was waylaid by […]
