ABOUT US
We all have moments, landmarks in our lives that we look back upon and exclaim, “now that was life changing!” Gord and I had one of those amazing experiences in 2014. Desiring to celebrate our 25th anniversary in an extra special way, we embarked on the trip of a lifetime, namely the Rick Steves 21 Day Tour of Europe. Yes, this tour did not disappoint, was life changing in so many ways and it also gave us a keen desire to expand our traveling horizons and explore all that Europe has to offer.
As our plane took off for home from Paris, we knew it would just be a matter of time before we would be landing back on European soil. Interestingly enough when we returned home, we were restless, had a difficult time allowing our incredible adventure to drift into long term memory. We needed to keep reliving our trip, keeping it alive and fresh in our minds. So we decided to create a blog to capture our experiences, document them and protect them within its pages. We also desired to share with others the awe inspiring experiences we had and thought a blog was the best way to accomplish this... Hence, we entered the Rick Steves Scrapbook Contest, really not expecting to win, but were completely overwhelmed and thankful to the Rick Steves Company when we were told the unbelievable news that yes, we were successful!

OUR LATEST ADVENTURE - GREECE !
April 2016
Rick Steves' Tour: Athens & the Heart of Greece
......This now could mean only one thing….our dream of returning to Europe was to come true and sooner than we could ever imagine! The beauty of Greece had always caught our eye and this country was at the top of our future adventure list. After checking the itinerary for the Greece tour, we knew this was the tour for us!
We were excited to visit Athens with its history and ruins and city buzz, but what interested us the most was the small town customs, village experiences in the Peloponnese, connecting with the people, meandering through cobblestone streets , drinking in its beauty, warmth of the sun and just feeling like we belong!
