    Short TripsFor the latter half of this year we will be doing some short trips.  We started with Toronto & Newport, RI in September, then we'll do a cruise to Bermuda in November, followed by 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.

    North CarolinaIn spring 2023 we were in North Carolina, starting in Maggie Valley NC, crossing into Pigeon Forge TN, and then returning to Asheville NC. We also visited some cities and towns on the way down and back.

    Europe (& Washington, DC)The first stop on our trip in the spring of 2022 was a week in Washington, DC.  We then headed to Europe where we visited Portugal, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, &  Germany.  We finished our trip with a Scandinavian cruise.

    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!

    Short TripsIn the summer of 2017 we took several short trips.  We had a week in Toronto visiting Kevin & Emily, a week in Nova Scotia, and then a 2nd, shorter trip in another part of Nova Scotia. We finished with a week in New York City.

    Coast to Coast - The WestThe second part of our 2016 coast to coast trip started with a house swap in Banff and then a visit to the US Pacific Northwest.  The rest of the trip included stops in Vancouver (another house swap), the Yukon Territory, and BC's Okanagan Valley.

    Coast to Coast - The EastIn the summer of 2016 we went coast to coast.  In the east, we started with a house swap in Toronto and then also swapped in both  Ottawa & Montreal.  The 'after Toronto' part of the trip also included visits to two Ontario wine regions.

    US Southwest & CruiseIn the fall of 2015 we visited the US Southwest.  We started with a couple of days in the Grand Canyon, before heading to Bryce & Zion Canyons in Utah.  In Galveston, Texas, we boarded a ship for a cruise to Cozumel, Belize, and Roatan, Honduras.

    Other Short TripsIn November 2019 we cruised to Bermuda.  Earlier in the year we visited Tennessee for the first time, visiting Nashville and Memphis. In January 2015 we spent a week in Havana, Cuba, only our second actual stay on a Caribbean Island.
