Tapas in Spain, the Ultimate Appy Crawl

The tradition of appetizers in the afternoon has several stories pertaining to its origin, but they all… CONTINUE READING >>

Help! We Can’t Decide!

We have discovered an amazing program, RoadScholar.org, a non-profit organization geared toward lifelong learning. After perusing their incredible website and looking at all the amazing trips they have to offer, we decided that we just HAVE to take one!

Unfortunately, we’ve hit a snag. We can’t decide on our own which trip to take. And, yes, there has been some “heated discussion.” After WEEKS of exploring the opportunities, we’ve narrowed our choices down to three trips. Please help us decide which one to take!

Barcelona’s Breathtaking (and Seuss-like) Basilica

Barcelona has many treasures, but one stood out to us above all the others, literally and figuratively, Sagrada Família.

The massive church is without a doubt the pinnacle of architect and designer Antoni Gaudí’s incredible career. And we do mean pinnacle. Huge spires rise into the sky over fifty stories high – and it’s not even finished yet… CONTINUE READING >>

They are semi-retired boomers who roam the globe full-time, approaching each day as an adventure and celebrating the freedom of being unshackled from the responsibilities of parenthood.
