by Kate Dernocoeur, guest blogger Imagine: an unobstructed 360-degree view of just ocean – no birds, no other ships, not even much chance of seeing marine animals. Just the water and the sky and the ship beneath you gliding on a fair day on its way from New York City to Southampton. Crossing...
I’ve been going to NYC for all my adult life for one reason or another. Pretty much every year for some reason. What thrills me about NYC is that while I love the familiar, the stimulating and the creative, I typically find some new experience to enjoy. I love new stuff. My last trip, […]
When you hear of people going to NYC for Thanksgiving, naturally you think that they want to see the Macy’s Day Parade Live. Not me. I wanted to see the preparation the day before the famous 30 year old festivity in the Big Apple. I finally got to do it last November and I […]
By Sheryl A Jurries, Guest Blogger I think every woman who has a great group of girlfriends should take a trip together to a very special place for 3 or 4 days. I recently was able to do this with 6 other friends. Destination: Las Vegas! Whether you gamble or not, Vegas has been a […]
Please come take a walk with me while I wear my Street Photography hat for this week in New York City. I hope this blog post will convey what NYC feels like to me. This first shot is out the taxi window. I love the hearts and sentiment. These are all images from one […]

by Guest Bloggers Ann Wojtysiak and Leonardo Tombelli As lifelong Michiganders, we have learned that mid-July thru August is the best Michigan summer travel period. This summer’s excursion to Petoskey and Little Traverse Bay proved to be no exception! While the area hosts many hotels, the...
Alert! This is going to be a strange blog post. A little weird. Not my usual pictures of pretty places and nice places to visit, sometimes on the exotic side. When reviewing photos of a recent trip to Oregon I found a bunch I would put in the “weird” category and others I didn’t exactly...
I truly love Cannon Beach, Oregon, a small beach town located west about a 90 minute drive from Portland. I think it is a great beach town and I know a bit about beach towns, having lived all my life (well almost) in or near a Lake Michigan beach town. I find our West Michigan […]
