North American Travel in our Airstream

For us, there simply is no better way to explore North American than in an RV. From the vast and open spaces of the west, to the two-lane roads winding through the heartlands, and the historic sites of the east, traveling by RV enables us to take in all that North America has to offer at a pace that works perfectly for us. And wow, North American has a lot to offer.

Cruising the Seas

As seasoned cruisers, we’ve come to greatly appreciate the pleasure and value of cruising as a large part of our retirement travel plan. The reasons are many: It allows us to easily sample the world to determine where we want to spend more time later. We meet wonderful people who are sharing our same experience. Cruise ships are engineering marvels, and along with their cruise staff, each are designed to provide a unique and exceptional experience. And finally, it’s surprisingly economical once you know the system.

International Travel

Imagine a Flamenco Dance in Spain. Original pizza in Napoli. An archeological dig in Greece. The Supertree Grove in Singapore. The guttural bellow of a Howler monkey in Costa Rica. A warm sunset in Tahiti. A train ride through the Alps. A late night walk through the narrow pathways in an ancient walled city. Take it from us, no words or pictures can do justice to these sights and sounds. They must be experienced to be truly appreciated. What better time than during retirement travel to enjoy a journey beyond our personal borders.
