About Me

When I started my retirement travels in 2009, I wanted a way to share it with family and friends as it was happening. Hence, "My Travel Journal". However I realized I wouldn't always be on a trip and wondered what to do with the blog in between times. My daughter pointed out, wisely, that travels can also include trips to the kitchen to try a new recipe, trips to visit family, trips to my neighborhood Starbucks, or a fun day trip with a friend. You're welcome to join me on any of these journeys! I've set up individual pages for each of my major trips (see tabs above).

Also, I have an Etsy shop where my current needlework resides. The last pieces I posted here were in 2013! So if you'd like to see what I have accomplished recently, go to (and I apologize for having to copy and paste):

I recently added an "Italian Word a Day" thingie which shows up at the bottom of every page. You see the word and can click to hear it pronounced. I've been enjoying it and I think my accent is improving as time goes by.

In Milan and pretty worn out...

Oh my goodness folks. We left Chris's apt at 6:45am on wed Oct 8 and it's now 8:00am on Oct 9 our time and no bed yet. We're at the Milan cathedral and Chris is taking photos while I sit and work at keeping my eyes open. 

It hasn't been bad travel getting here. In fact it was only a seven hour trip. But there was lots of transferring with quite cumbersome luggage before we reached our Milan hotel. And even though getting through customs and out of the airport was a breeze I've pretty much decided no more Milan flights for me even if the fare is incredible cause getting from the airport to the hotel was the worst part of the whole journey.

Most of our day after finally getting to our hotel was spent at the Duomo of Milan.  You can go up on the roof of the cathedray which is not pitched like a roof but is in what they call "terrace" levels.  So that was pretty neat and Chris had a field day taking what I am sure are going to be some wonderful photographs.  I took some pictures also and am going to post them here.
