Benvenuti a Firenze The first land we saw from the sky this morning was the silver ribbon of the Arno River cutting a swath through the red tiled roofs of Florence.  We left the depressing dungeon-like Dulles Airport and flew overnight to Brussels.  Tires hitting the tarmac was the first indication that we were landing so thick was the fog in Brussels.  They cleverly route you through all the duty free shops on your way to the gates. We bought nothing, although they did have Leonidas chocolate.  I just couldn't bring myself to buy something when I had been in Europe for three minutes.  In the gate area beyond the security perimeter there is no indication of the carnage of recent past. The airport is very modern, white and bright. Skies were leaden the whole way until the break in the clouds that hinted of the beauty we will come to call home this trip.  We landed and at the end of the short runway actually made a u-turn to head for the terminal. ...

El Paso High School Class of '61 Reunion Cruise             April 28 - May 5, 2024               x    After months of Zoom calls, back and forth about amenities, shuttle services, excursions and wardrobe, Sun Travel agent extrordinaire Kathleen Wieland Coleman finally guided us across the finish line in Galveston.

Back at the hotel numerous EPHS goodies from socks, earrings, magnets, mouse pads, eyeglass holders, lanyards and ne...

Adapting When people of my vintage travel the tendency is to wax poetic about the good old days when all we needed was a spare pair of jeans, two camisoles and a windbreaker to swan our way through Europe, all the while looking effortlessly chic.  Well, those days are over! Times have changed and we have changed with it.  I begin by reminding you of a few very important items to pack for any upcoming trip.  No, I am not talking about your Passport, I'm talking about Aleve.  You never know when something is going to flare up or fall out of place.  Try and find some without those nurse-proof safety caps that require a hatchet to break into. In fact I'm a big fan of over-the-counter medication genre.  If there's a body part and they make an OTC pill for it I suggest packing some. I draw the line at antibiotics. Always let a professional prescribe those. We have family members who could stop an Ebola outbreak in its tracks with their personal stash. Whi...
