Travels in the last year.

We have been very fortunate to be able to travel extensively over the years. From our first trips as teenagers separately to our first trip together, to London. As we have retired, we have focused on travel and have been to many places that we never thought we would make it to.  These are trips we've taken in the last twelve months.

2022 - Hawaii Trip

We were fortunate to be able to leave the cold Minnesota winter for three lovely weeks in Hawaii. Five days in Honolulu, Oahu, a week in Kauai and a week in Maui where Zoe, Chris and Owen joined us.

2021 - Wisconsin Road Trip

Our first major trip after (sort of) Covid, Kathy and I made a long contemplated genealogy related trip to Milwaukee and back. So there were a lot of cemeteries to visit, about a dozen. That's a 680 mile round trip from our home. We managed to add 1,500 miles to the BMW. We stayed in Wisconsin Dells, Appleton, Sheboygan, Milwaukee and Le Seuer.

2020 - Texas Roadtrip

Kathy and escaped the heart of winter when we went to Cancun. But, it wasn't enough, we needed get away some more. These photos are from our three-week, 5,000 mile journey around Texas. We left on the 21st of February and hurried home on the 14th of March. While it was cut a little short, due to the virus, we saw an awful lot of Texas and came home healthy.

2020 - Cancun - Resort Trip

For our trip to escape winter, Kathy and I went to two of our timeshare resorts in Cancun, Mexico. It was a lovely two weeks and probably the least active trip we've ever taken. We did a lot of sitting, looking at the surf and reading.

 

Here are photos of our time in Mexico.

 


2019 - Adriatic and Mediterranean Seas Cruise

Kathy and I spent the second half of October and the first half of November on a cruise. This is the third cruise we've been on in two years. We journeyed with our friends Bob and Lori, whom we met on our Semester at sea voyage.
