We had a group of 4 friends traveling up to see these magnificent animals and the trip did not disappoint. First you fly into Winnepeg, Canada and than proceed onto a private charter to Churchill, aContinue reading “Polar Bears”

Monasteries of Meteora, Greece
Breathtaking and hard to believe that these monasteries are still working. It is a long trek to get to the six active monasteries set on giant sandstone rock pillars between the 14th and 16th centuries. The byzantine monasteries are surrounded by spectacular landscapes and steep rock outcroppings. The word Meteora means “suspended in the air,”Continue reading “Monasteries of Meteora, Greece”

Split, Croatia
Split is the second largest city of Croatia on the Adriatic Coast. Hard to believe it has been under Roman, Venetian, Austrian, French, Italian & Yugoslavian Rule. This is a very pretty city and I decided I wanted to stay away from the crowds, so when we got off the ship, a young man askedContinue reading “Split, Croatia”
Islands of Venice
Burano & Murano are worth a trip over to see the amazing glass work & the beautiful colored houses & lace work the islands are known for in Venice.

COWBOY UP!
As mentioned at the end of my blogs, I always end with “until we ride again”. But, this time the term “Cowboy Up” which we used extensively on the Guest Ranch I owned and operated, it was the perfect term for my situation. We were always saying that if you were being lazy, got hurtContinue reading “COWBOY UP!”

Week of Adjustment
Although I have been to Garden Route Safari Camp as a guest, it is now little different in terms of not being on holiday, but rather being employed. Trying to figure out the time differences, what my job entails and working with a bum knee, I had to figure out my place. What better wayContinue reading “Week of Adjustment”
