We love to travel, and often people ask us which trip was our favorite. The truth is, it is often our last one! On each episode I will take you through one of those trips, from home and back, and let you know what were some of our favorite experiences, which things we could have skipped, and what we regret not doing. My hope is that the listener will realize that travel, domestic or international, is doable. It can be affordable with the proper planning, and it's always worth it! We are a couple of married, middle age, middle class people with four grown children. In future episodes I hope to include my husband, Mark, in the discussion, and to interview people with expertise in various travel topics.You can find pictures from our trips on Instagram at ourfavoritetrip, and on Facebook at Our Favorite Trip.
