  • I’m as guilty as most others about only seeing a destination through the lens of my phone camera. The only way I seem to be able to unplug when I travel is if I go to a destination that has no coverage. And that’s not easy these days!  But you’re kind of defeating the purpose of traveling if you’re constantly looking at your phone. So it’s important to learn to unplug when you travel.  Heck, …

  • I recently went through that unenviable task of cleaning out my mother’s home following her death. My mother was a collector. And she held on to so many things for their sentimental value. There was her wedding dress from 60 years earlier (she made it herself), a full length fur coat (not PC), three sets of fine china, not to mention silver serving pieces, depression glass, and many other antiquities accumulated over the decades.

It’s a top destination for summer vacations, partly because it lies outside the hurricane belt, which is a surprise to many people!
