I visited Montreal last fall, and after spending some time exploring the city, I realized, I need to share my thoughts on this beautiful place to visit. Montreal has a little bit of everything to love in a city: beautiful architecture, interesting neighborhoods, great food, history, shopping and plenty of places to stop for a […]

I have to admit, I’m getting pretty excited about Hungary. It’s one of the destinations I’ll be experiencing firsthand on our Danube River cruise this November, and the more I learn about it, the more I’m looking forward to stepping off the ship and exploring.

Retirement opens the door to a different style of travel—one where the pace slows, the experiences deepen, and there’s finally time to savor the places you’ve always dreamed of visiting.

Planning a family vacation with teenagers can feel like trying to solve a puzzle with constantly shifting pieces. One minute they’re all in for an adventure, the next they just want Wi-Fi and snacks.
