Highlights of my Week in Sydney Australia My trip to Australia was ten years in the making. In December 2006, I had a plane ticket to Sydney.

Eight of My Favorite Travel Quotes I love Pinterest. It allows me to do trip planning, collect recipes, save links to dream destinations and organize different ideas. If your like me, before I discovered the online bulletin board I would bookmark all the websites I wanted to keep and scribble things in notebooks. I still do some of that but when I see a...
Seattle Wishing Chair – Do Wishes Come True? On my first day in Seattle, I took an Argosy 3 hour cruise on the Puget Sound. I was able to see the city and get suggestions of things to do. Now everybody knows about the views on top of the Space Needle, but the guide suggested to go to the observation deck of the Smith Tower. Not only is this building known...
