When we visited Lisbon in 2019 we enjoyed a great tour of the city…as described in a blog post from that time. The beauty of that post, is that I was able to revisit that tour and decide what parts of this charming city we’d like to see again and choose new areas to explore....

July 24,2022 We had so much fun yesterday, luckily (for you) I only have time to give you the Reader’s Digest version. I think I’ve mentioned (every day) how happy it makes me to begin each day with the ducks in the garden. We’ve been so fortunate with the weather…still low 80s and no real...

July22, 2022 Among the many joys of traveling with Timmy are long relaxed breakfasts. These breakfasts here at the Ritz Carlton have been an absolute joy. Watching the ducks and fellow guests, chatting with our servers and enjoying cappuccino and fresh berries are the perfect way to start our day. I’m grateful that I no...
