This is my introduction. I am looking to talk about traveling to interesting locations and spending some time there.
I try to take a common sense approach to planning and sightseeing. I do quite a bit of research. I find that planning is the key to maximizing your travel experience. Most locations have a wealth of places to visit and eat and sleep. Deciding what is best for you and your interests is what I will try to help you with. So, I will offering blogs on different places I’ve visited and things I’ve done; along with some tips on itineraries.
I rarely use the word “tourist” unless someone is on a packaged tour. I prefer the word “visitor”, someone who does their own planning and sets their own itinerary, according to what they want to see and do within their travel timeframe.
I will start with my most recent travel experience in Chicago, this past October.
Update 2023: Yes, I’ve been away. Literally.
I have been to Chicago 4 times since the first article. Traveled to Berlin, Germany and Wroclaw and Krakow, Poland and Amsterdam, Netherlands (again) in 2021. A pain traveling during Covid.
Many sites in the US: Cincinnati (twice), St. Louis, Kansas City, Buffalo NY, Rochester NY, Corning NY, Boston MA.
Plus, my normal DC, Baltimore, NYC trips each year.
A month in Italy recently this April / May. Bologna, Venice, Milano, Firenze, Roma, Sorrento, Lacco Ameno on the Island of Ishcia and Naples.
More blogs coming, I promise.
Stay Tuned.
