Help Stop Childhood Hunger in America

I’ve traveled to hundreds of inspiring destinations. I’ve seen a decadent amount of food. I’ve not gone hungry. I’ve also seen a disheartening number of hungry children in other countries, and yes, even in in the United States. If we don’t step up, who will? Hunger is Me. Hunger is All Of Us.Help Stop Childhood Hunger in America

Cumbres Toltec RR Trellis

All Aboard! Riding the Cumbres-Toltec Scenic Railroad, Colorado & New Mexico

 To say I was excited to ride America’s longest and highest narrow gauge railroad, the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad was an understatement. Our rail journey would be a 64 mile ride from the rustic train station in Antonito, Colorado, to its counterpart in Chama, New Mexico, winding in and out of both states 11 times.All Aboard!

Review of Panasonic Home monitoring system

Review Panasonic Home Monitoring System

When I received the Panasonic Home Monitoring System, hubby and I were pretty excited. Sure it’s great to get a visual of your house when you’re traveling. But we’re lucky. We’ve lived in our neighborhood almost 18 years, and our neighbors are vigilant about watching out for each other. But having that extra visual security with a click of the smart phone is priceless.Review Panasonic Home Monitoring System

Luggage Review: Ricardo Elite Roxbury 2.0 Spinner

Oh the endless search for the perfect carry-on bag. I’ve been mostly content with my spinner Samsonite luggage set, a Christmas present from my daughter a couple of years ago. However, I’m always searching for the really perfect suitcase. The carry-on  luggage that rolls away from the competition. The one that perfectly fits everything you need for a long weekend getaway without getting the evil eye from the airline stewards.  Then ta-dah, just like that, I was given the opportunity to review the Ricardo Beverly Hills Elite Roxbury 2.0 Spinner.  And you know they had me at spinner.Luggage Review: Ricardo Elite Roxbury 2.0 Spinner

Bring the grandkids to Walt Disney World — for the first time. Give them a quick lesson on how to use the  Panasonic HX-A500 wearable video camera. Push the little grand “birdies” out of the nest and let them capture video. Yes, I’m tagging along with them, because I too love Disney theme parks and rides.

Driving Etiquette in Shanghai, China

China has one of the highest rates of automobile accidents in the world, with an estimated 100,000 people killed on the road in this country.  After just 24 hours in Shanghai (escorted by Mandarin Journeys), I quickly learned a red light does not mean stop in Shanghai, what I began to call the “Shanghai Stop.”  Everyone is in a hurry, more so when behind the wheel of a car, and I cringed at how many near accidents happened in front of us.
