What could be better than casually taking in the splendor of Amsterdam. Visiting the Museums, and exploring the backroads to find those places that make the vacation so memorable with someone who you enjoy spending time with.

A visit to Venice, 1st time  arriving by train and seeing the response from our children when exiting the rail station and being faced with the canal instead of a road, what a memory. The area and lagoon we have explored now 3 times and still not scratched the surface. Next time just need a larger memory card for the camera. Staying at the Lido across from the main center allows us to be away from the main hustle and bustle, but only a waterbus journey across to the main square.

My first cruise some years ago now, just perfect, leisurely cruising, the  archipelago in the sun, visiting a different a island each day, food and drink all at hand. Spending a week after in the  Waikiki beach area, shopping, visiting the zoo, taking in a football match at the stadium. A really great location that affords so much. Been back 2 times and hope to visit again 2025.
