Greetings!
We are thrilled to announce our next big adventure! In fact, we think this one deserves the title of “Epic Adventure” (epic is such an overused word, but we think it’s appropriate in this case). Holland America Line’s 49-day Africa Explorer aboard ms Rotterdam will cruise from Rotterdam, Netherlands on September 27 all the way to Cape Town, South Africa, where we disembark on November 15. Along the way, we’re going to visit England, Portugal, Gibraltar, Spain, Malta, Greece, Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Seychelles, Reunion Islands, Mauritius and South Africa. We’ll be blogging along the way as much as possible, but in the meantime you can take a look at this fascinating cruise over on Holland America’s website.

Our most recent travels took us up to The Hills Health Ranch at 108 Mile House in British Columbia, Canada. We took along our 7-year-old niece Jada and focused our activities around her first dude ranch and horse riding experience. We all had a fantastic time and highly recommend The Hills Health Ranch for a multigenerational dude ranch experience. If Jada could have spent every waking moment riding, she would have, and it was amazing to see how quickly her riding skills improved within 48 hours of her first lesson. We’ll have much more information to share about this fun getaway, but in the meantime check out all The Hills for activities offered to all ages and interests.
