    Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro with my daughter

    Byuser 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.

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

    Byuser 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.

    Arriving in Paris jet-lagged, a quick trip to see Monet’s water lillies at the Musee de L’Orangerie was just the tonic. Armed with a Paris Pass, we didn’t have to wait in a long line for tickets.
