Arriving at Inyati Safari Lodge at lunchtime meant that I would be able to join the afternoon safari game drive. Not knowing what to expect, I prepared my backpack with all of the “safari essentials” I had relied on during the past week of safari trek/drives in Botswana. My essentials now […]
Turning off the dirt road toward the Inyati Private Game Reserve entrance gate, the anticipation was building – this was my South African safari, in Sabi Sands no less. The shuttle driver escorted me to the gift shop entrance which also serves as the check in desk. I was welcomed […]
Traveling with my duffel bag of drab safari clothes and my one pair of shoes, I had my travel time out at the hotel for a night before the morning drive to Sabi Sands Private Game Park. With my safari experiences in Botswana completed, I was ready to embark on the […]
I successfully booked an award air ticket last week to Australia but it was literally exhausting (just thinking about it is making me tired). I spent at least ten hours (or more) trying to figure out the various parts of the puzzle to put together the journey. If you are […]

This week’s theme of FriFotos is “A Room with a View” and for the most part my view is usually the back alley, a brick wall or no view at all on the inside cruise cabin. Traveling solo, I’m usually more interested in saving money so I rarely get a […]
Every Monday on Twitter, there is a #TravelPics chat at 3pm EST. With a different theme each week, it is a great opportunity to share travel photos. If a picture is worth a thousand words, well, this chat is worth many millions. The artistry and talent exhibited is amazing – […]
This week’s #FriFotos theme is “Orange” so I present my colorful “orange” photos in art, nature, food and sports encountered during my travels. My recent trip to Seattle, introduced me to the Chihuly Garden and Glass – so many colors, of course, orange is represented quite well throughout the exhibit. […]
