1 Sept 2017, 21:42 Croatia Time We arrived today in Dubrovnich, Croatia around 9:00 a.m. Croatia time. The city is very beautiful. A huge expansion bridge, many red tile roofs, and an old part of the city that is entirely enclosed in a huge city wall made of fortified stone. It was, in a word, …

Greecywood – 27 Years, 27 Days Later
30 Aug 2017, 21:16 Europe Time We have spent the past three days visiting Greece. First, we went to Katakolon, then Mykonos, and finally Piraeus / Athens. It was, in all respects, exactly what we expected of Greece, and it did not disappoint. In Katakolon, we went to Olympia, and the sight of the …
The Land of My Ancestors
24 Aug 2017, 0649 Frankfurt Time It is the land of my ancestors. My great great grandfather, Joseph Koenigseder, boarded a boat, in a barrel, in 1885 to cross the ocean from Europe. It was his great escape. He had a feeling what was coming around the bend, with the Nazis and all, so he …
Bari, Italy, One Day of Experience
27 August 2017, 17:54 Italy time After one night at sea, we spent a quiet and warm Sunday in Bari, Italy. This city, on the southeastern coast of Italy, is like many others, with an old town and a new town. In Europe, and other countries, they seem to like to keep the old …

26 August 2017 We are headed out on a cruise from Venice, so we decided to take a couple of days and see the city before we make our journey. You read about it everywhere, but from this Arkansas traveler, I'll give you a few hints for staying only a couple of days. 1. …
Trapped in the House

Searching for Elusive Shoes
I bought a pair of Keds shoes several years ago. As a long-time Keds girl (from my majorette days), Keds are my go-to not-working-out-at-the-gym all-around shoes. I find them to be sleek enough to wear with a skirt, comfy enough to wear all day long, and not insanely priced. In essence, I love them. This …
Traveling Shoes
1 July 2017, Pearl City, Hawaii (Oahu), 9:28 Hawaii Time It was another great day on Oahu yesterday. We went to the place where the land basically ends, falling off into the ocean and the majesty of the Pacific. I was wearing, as usual, my traveling shoes, which have been with me nearly everywhere we …
Oahu West Shore
30 June 2017, 16:50 Hawaii Time Today has been another really good day on Oahu. Yesterday was, as well, and we went further on the west shore than we did yesterday. The whole trip so far has been fabulous, as usual, and we already can't wait to come back for another adventure. Yesterday, we went …
It’s the Little Things
It's the little things, really. Those are the ones that make all the difference in the world. It's not the huge, over-the-top, career advancing things that people remember, unless you're like a Nobel prize winner or such. It's the day-to-day interactions with people that make the difference. A good friend posted a note on Facebook …
