Welcome ... T-10 days

Do you enjoy vicarious travel? I suspect you do: No logistic nightmares, no travel hassles, no jet lag exhaustion, no packing and unpacking, no outlay from the nest egg, no ... well you get the idea. 

Your opportunity to explore delightful parts of Italy, England and Norway has arrived.

Welcome to our personal blog,  as we'll use this to go old school... to actually print out a book for our tactile and physical enjoyment. Here you will join me and Peggy, vicariously, as we explore Italy's Dolomites for a week, then head to Southport, England for 3 days (known, by some, as the fly fishing capital of the world) on our way to a 2 week Celebrity cruise in and around the Norwegian Fjords.

I might even throw a video or two in the mix depending on upload speeds,  etc. 

By God's grace, as He leads, we plan to share Gideon Bibles and the joy of knowing Jesus at every opportunity... please pray for many seeds to be planted and many to be gifted eternal life. 

So get your 🍿 ready! We're off to a great adventure,  Lord willing!




If you'd like to see some of our video highlights,  just ask me to our you on our WhatsApp blog distribution list.

Day 2: Relax Day!

Image
5:45am sunrise mimosas were no problem for me given the jet lag (Peggy was sleeping soundly) ... no sunrise was the only problem.  I magically erased the other 20 folks from the infinity pool.  Breakfast, from the power table, overlooking the valley, was a real treat.  Cable car to a stunning wilderness photography museum called Lumen was pretty special, and you can see some videos taken there on the whatsapp blog. (don't tell Steve B. I went to a museum). We love finding a cross on mountain peaks, communicating all glory to God!  Spring bloom in July.  Cool enough for a windbreaker as we circumnavigated the peak on an easy 30 minute rather flat walk about... remember it's Relax Day....  Our hotel from the returning cable car ride.  Back in time for outdoor pizza made by the world champion, according to the marketing material.. gotta believe it therefore!  Classic outdoor woodburning pizza oven helped make the pizzas extra excellent.  Had to ...

Day 1... Travel Day!

Travel Day starts with packing the car.  And this trip we've trimmed down a bit! Yay us!  And so it begins with a suggestive upgrade bid email from Lufthansa for 1st class seating.  I entered a bid of 10% the normal upgrade price and was, to our amazement,  accepted.  This kicked off a number of wonderful add on benefits... like 1st class lounges, private escorts through terminals, car rides directly to the plane instead of commuter busses etc. And as you can see in this picture,  a lounge kickoff glass of delicious French bubbly.  Once in our seats, more bubbly, and although there were only 8 seats in first class,  the conversations were joyful!  Each seat was like a private office,  comfort loaded and fully convertible to a bedroom.  One of our neighbors was a CEO of an AI company, and another was a past 747 pilot who flies first class any time seats are available.... Even the bathrooms had space with their window view. The best f...
