2019 – Where Are You Going Next

2019 – Where Are You Going Next thumbnail

Everyone’s favorite question for a traveler is Where are you going next. That is also the most dreaded question when you don’t know the answer to that question. *Sigh!* If I had my way, I’d have at least one trip a month planned for the entire year, but this year I find myself looking at the… Read more

Though I grew up in Pennsylvania, I have happily lived in the land of palm trees and 60 degree “winters” for years. I rarely look back and I joke regularly about never wanting to scrape another windshield or shovel another snowy driveway again in my life. I don’t think I’ve ever complained about not having the… Read more

When I first began this blog back in 2009 (my baby is almost 5 years old!) my posts were infrequent and erratic. I would proudly declare “I only write on my blog when I am actually traveling”…not sure why I was so proud of that.  That first year I had four whole posts for the 6 months… Read more

Getting Down To Business: TBEX – Dublin

Posted in Blogging| Dublin| Ireland

What is your purpose for visiting Ireland? Business or Pleasure? That’s a hard one to answer. Technically I’m not here for pleasure.  I won’t spend much (if any) time wandering around the city, checking out castles, touring the Guinness factory or sitting in a cafe and watching the world go by at its own pace. But… Read more
