    Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro with my daughter

    ByEileen Ogintz August 24, 2022June 28, 2023

    Many people who lose 35 pounds would splurge on a new wardrobe. I opted for this adventure—one I could share with my daughter before she left for college. That was six years ago and I’ve traveled the world since. Still, our Kili Climb remains one of the most memorable trips we’ve ever taken.

    Cleared for takeoff — over the Alaska Range

    ByEileen Ogintz August 23, 2022August 25, 2022

We recruited our cousin-in-law Mike Sitzman and his dad John, who live in Golden, CO to join us. After some basic internet research we decided upon a spot in Canada’s Ontario Province – Garden Island Lodge

    The Galapagos Islands — not cheap, not luxurious, but oh the wildlife and the memories!

    ByEileen Ogintz August 22, 2022June 28, 2023

    This wouldn’t be everyone’s first choice for an expensive vacation. There are no beach chairs or bars on these protected beaches, where tourists may only venture with a guide.
