WJ TESTED: EXOFFICIO WOMEN’S NOMAD ROLL-UP PANT REVIEW
The ExOfficio women’s Nomad roll-up pant in the petite length were the perfect travel pants for a two-month summer trip in Europe.

FROM THE ARCHIVES: TRAFALGAR TOURS SCENIC ENGLAND REVIEW
WAVEJourney Rides High Above The Hedgerows On Trafalgar’s Scenic England Tour!
A few lines of the lyrics from the song “Get Happy”, made popular by Judy Garland, would play over and over in our heads during our 10-day Scenic England Tour with Trafalgar Tours — “Forget your troubles, Come on get happy, You better chase all your cares away”. OK, so we couldn’t remember the rest of the song, but that didn’t really matter as those few lines were incredibly appropriate for the journey we were on.
Neither one of us had ever experienced a motorcoach tour, and to be quite frank hadn’t even considered it until WAVE Journey readers started asking us for details about the various coach tour companies.

TRAVEL TIPS: FOODIE FINDS: CERVECERIA NAVIERA HOSTELERIA ALEMANA
WJ Tested: Best Tapa in Barcelona, Spain
Anytime we are looking for a great place to eat in a town or city that is unfamiliar to us, we wander the streets and look for busy places full of locals. Sure, the odd tourist will have the same idea we do – searching out the local joints – but for the most part we are surrounded by the natives… and that’s a good thing.
