    Short TripsIn the latter half of 2024 we did three short trips.  We started with Toronto & Newport, RI in September, then cruised to Bermuda in November, and finished with another cruise to the Caribbean in December.

    Alaska CruiseOur second trip in 2023 was to Alaska for a 7-day cruise. We spent time in Anchorage before starting our cruise in Seward. Stops along the way included Valdez, Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan, & finally, Vancouver.

    House Swaps & CruisesIn the fall of 2018, when we had house swaps in Brooklyn and Boston and two cruises from Boston, the first was supposed to go to Bermuda but a hurricane got in the way.  The second one ended in Quebec City.

    Central AmericaOur trip In the winter of 2017 was to Central America.  We started with stops in Panama and Costa Rica, where we had a guided tour, and then visited Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala.  All the countries were very enjoyable!
