We spent the 2023 holiday season in Portugal. Portugal is fairly small in size compared to the United States. While based out of lovely Lisbon we were able to make some side trips to other areas. We booked two nights at a hotel in Porto and took a three hour bus ride north to see […]
Similar to our post about Santorini in November, this post will hopefully help you decide if Sorrento and the Amalfi coast is a good place to visit in December. We’ve been hitting a lot of places during their tourist offseason and have not been disappointed at all. Sorrento was no different. In fact, the holiday

I just want to let you know that it has been challenging to post between poor internet connectivity and some sea sickness looking at this screen too much. As promised in the last post our next destination was to the low countries followed by the Normandy coast. October 27-29 saw ports in the Netherlands and

Dog’s first voyage onboard with Dragon started with an unexpected change. Inclement weather in the North Sea resulted in three immediate somewhat rough sea days. Our Hamburg port was cancelled by German authorities and was eventually replaced with an unplanned day trip to Amsterdam via IJmuiden, Netherlands. Following that there were three successive ports in
