Welcome to the Travel Page

If you like to travel like we do then this page is designed for you. The purpose of a vacation is to relax and recharge the mental batteries. This means leaving all the stress and stain of daily living behind. Unfortunately many of us don't really know how to relax as we let worry about the office accompany us on our trip.

While I recommend you leave the stress of the office behind that is something you and only you can do. What I can do is provide links that may make your vacation a little better. Life is stressful enough without it ruining a perfectly good vacation and I say that from experience. I have had both great and horrible vacations so I know just how stressful a bad vacation can be. I was so glad to get back to work as work became a vacation for me.

To help overcome a bad experience I decided to seek out and expose those websites that can help turn a dream vacation into a fabulous vacation. Thus I have searched the web and found quite a few, but excellent websites that can help you avoid a bad experience.

I recommend you spend some time reading these links and determine which ones can help you the most with your vacation. I have separated these links into two distinct classes: websites and blogs. Both have a lot of advice to offer however it is up to you to determine which link can give you the best advice for your particular circumstances.

I mentioned before, for those of you who keep track of these things, that this page is subject to change. And it has with a new look and feel. However it's not finished yet and is destined to grow even more with new links and hopefully a few surprises along the way. One can never tell. Also I intend to find and investigate more travel blogs, so stay tuned for that.

P.S. If you are traveling anywhere, make sure you check out the Trip Advisor website. It has a lot of great reviews on it, I know I wrote one concerning Rome (about 2006). Had I known about our lodging before we left, our Rome nightmare would have been a Rome romance. But, check out all the sites because they all have great information on them.
