Portugal and Spain 2019

 The Travelin' Trio paired up with Rick Steves and did the tour of Portugal. Then we added a few days in Spain on our own. We had an amazing guide in Portugal and a wonderful time in both countries. The trip was in June and we gathered in St. Louis, MO in October to create a photo book.

A New Year Down Under

Karen, Rodney, and I traveled to Sydney Australia for New Year's Eve 2017 and then went on a 2-week driving trip on the South Island of New Zealand to kick of the new year of 2018. In August, we gathered in Atlanta and hunkered down in an AirBnB to make a photo book.

Europe Our Way 2016

Rodney and I took a dream 16-day trip through Europe. We took Celebration Tours up a notch with this one! We joined a Rick Steves "MyWay Europe" tour and made it our own. 16 full days and nights in France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy (and a stop in Lichtenstein).

Instead of blogging every detail, I posted on Facebook...on a pretty constant basis. That text combined with both of our photos (mostly Rodney's gorgeous photos) became the heart of the content of this photo book. We finished our trip in August. In January, we got together in Denver, hunkered down in a hotel room, and spent three days and nights putting together this photo book.

Howdy!
If you're reading this, you probably have an old URL for my trip to the Canadian Rockies. I changed the tag from RocKyMountains15 to RocKyMounTains2015. I just couldn't resist capitalizing the T as well as the R, K, and M to represent all 4 of us on that awesome trip. But that means that the old link you have won't show you any blog entries about that trip because I changed all the tags. Click the link below and you'll be able to follow the antics and amazing views of our trip in the Canadian Rockies, Summer 2015.

Reader's Digest Version of the Trip

Well I haven't had time to go back and finish my blog entries about the incredible trip but Karen has been doing a lot of compiling, so here are two things she created that you can look at to get the synopsis version (both verbally and visually) of the trip.

This is the link to the web page where Karen compiled all of her notes with all of my Facebook postings about the big Glacier/Banff/Jasper (GBJ) trip (same trip/different nickname):

This is a new thing called “sway.” She wanted to mess around with it and try it out so she compiled all of her artsy photos about the trip on this website:

A side trip to Calgary

We drove 90 minutes to Calgary to see the Canada Olympic Village and drop off Rodney  at the airport since the shuttle (like the one Mary took) didn't work out. Now it's down to Karen and me to return the rent car to Kalispell...the long way. More adventures!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last Day with Rodney

We found one more hike on the Bow Valley Parkway for Rodney and then drove back to Banff. We had lunch at the Spaghetti Factory (Rodney’s favorite). We went shopping for 20 minutes on Banff Ave for shirts, etc. so Rodney could find last-minute souvenirs.
