    Palermo….More Than The Godfather

    June 9, 2018 / No Comments

    When you say you will be visiting Palermo while you are in Sicily most people will say ‘Oh, The Godfather! Will you be doing a Godfather tour’? The answer to this question was no, but we did book a Palermo and Cefalu tour. Palermo was about a 2 hour (or more) drive from Taormina where we stayed for the week.…

    The day has finally arrived – vacation! I don’t know if it is the fact that work has been crazy as of late or that a lot has been going on in my personal life, but this trip is much appreciated.

    The Beehive State

    September 26, 2017 / 1 Comment

    Every once in a while I have the chance to travel for work for various reasons.  This time I was able to spend a week in Ogden, Utah for training.  My travels start very early in the morning to head to Utah since I was unable to get a direct flight to Salt Lake City.  I had a short layover…

    Day 6 – Our Last Day

    September 11, 2017 / No Comments

    It’s our last day in South Africa and our last game drive.  It was another early morning, and it was slightly tougher than other mornings since we have had lots of early mornings, busy days, and not a lot of sleep.  We bundled up again and headed out to the dark of the morning for a cup of coffee to…
