    About Us

    EFF8E9C4-410E-4A2C-989D-DE9F44647E25_1_2

    So, we bought a plane just before the COVID 19 pandemic began here in the United States.

     

    Great timing, right?

    ​

    The silver lining; the plane has created more opportunities for us than we could have ever imagined.

     

    We are two empty nesters with four grown children living all over the United States. Even though we each have two full time careers we are intentionally making time for travel, and for each other. We are based in Southern Indiana. Although much of our travel is to the cities where our children live we also make time for other trips as able.

    ​

    This blog is a way for us to share our travels and to also archive our journeys; at last.
