What We Love

This is a place for great tips and links to neat websites that will add to the excitement and “memory making” of your adventures! So, let’s begin with train travel…

Part of our passion for travel has to be the anticipation of the “adventure” of foreign train travel.

One of the things that makes it easier to “go it alone” and not use a tour, has been the discovery of a great website – seat 61. If you travel a lot by train, you probably know about the seat 61. Well, the website is great! It comes highly recommended, by a husband who would rather research great destinations than anything.
