Information on our trips and photographs I love to take
Pops and I are getting ready to begin a new kind of traveling adventure for us – RV Travel. We’re preparing for an almost month-long RV Travel trip across the Northwest U.S. beginning in Denver, Colorado and ending up here back at home! We’re definitely newbies to RV travel, so I’ll be posting and sharing […] Read more…
Sometimes all I need is a nice long walk in the cool air along the Pacific Ocean. Yesterday, we enjoyed a walk along the coast in Santa Cruz, California. The air was clean, the waves were crashing with a South swell, and having Pops with me means the company couldn’t have been better. Coast Views […] Read more…
Do you want to know what is so absolutely amazing about Point Arena, California? Well, it’s where Pops and I met almost twenty-five years ago! Northern California Coast This visit was quite a bit different. For one, we drove up together. For two, we came to celebrate the union of souls of two other people […] Read more…
Jimi and I recently spent a weekend in the small, central California coastal town of Cayucos. We haven’t been there in years and it was so nice to see this little gem of a town is still there very much unchanged. We didn’t visit under the best of circumstances, but I feel that we made […] Read more…
If you follow me on other social media channels, you know that at the end of 2017 we took a once-in-a-lifetime trip to visit and experience the country of Myanmar. It was truly an incredible trip and, a trip I would highly recommend! Honestly, the sights, the sounds, the people, and the peace – which […] Read more…
Recently I went on my very FIRST RV camping trip with my daughter Libby. She helped me become the ultimate “Girl Camper” and find LOVE in this hobby/lifestyle!

Ready for my June 2017 photo adventures and fun re-cap? We spent a lot of time in San Francisco this past June – which is always a good thing. Here are some of my favorite photos from special moments this past month. San Francisco and Our Sondors Electric Bikes We really enjoy taking our Sondors […] Read more…
One of my favorite places to visit happens to be not very far from my home – Monterey County California. Though we can drive there in less than 2 hours, we always feel like we’re in a different world when we arrive. There are so many towns worth visiting in Monterey County and along the […] Read more…
Once again, we head to San Francisco with our Grandsons for some Spring Break fun! We were lucky this year to have 3 days of beautiful weather tucked in-between Spring showers. There are so many things to do in San Francisco and we begin this trip with visiting Golden Gate Park. Our first adventure is […] Read more…
Are you as excited as I am to see ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY in theatres this weekend? I’ve been going crazy watching all the film premier information shared by other Disney bloggers I follow online. PLUS, seeing Star Wars movies that open in December (near mine and my daughter’s birthdays) is a family tradition […] Read more…
Our 20 Day European Trip started in the Polish Capital of Warsaw. Before I go any further with my story, I have something to admit. Somewhere in my oh-so-small-brain, I didn’t give much thought to the fact that on this tour we would be visiting all Post-Communist countries. In my little world, the time of […] Read more…
We recently returned from a 20 day trip to Central Europe with Gate 1 Travel. This is our fourth trip with Gate 1 and honestly, they’ve never let us down. It was another fabulous tour with excellent tour guides, an active itinerary and wonderful accommodations. We’ve met many people on these trips that have traveled […] Read more…

Our final days in Thailand were spent in and around the City of Chiang Mai. This was probably one of our favorite cities in Thailand. It’s fitting that I’m writing about the finish of our Thailand trip as in 1 day we are off to begin another once-in-a-lifetime trip – a three week visit to Central […] Read more…
My telling of our tour of Thailand continues after the day in Myanmar with a visit to the Maesa Elephant Camp in Chiang Mai. This area of the Maesa Valley is home to the largest domesticated elephant habitation in northern Thailand. What an absolute treat it is to walk along a beautiful trail, through a gorgeous forest and find […] Read more…
Today, on our tour, we actually leave Thailand at the very north of the country for a little while so we can cross the border and visit Myanmar. Myanmar (also known as Burma) is part of the Golden Triangle area that I alluded to in my last post about this trip. We will actually spend […] Read more…
As we continue sharing our adventures in Thailand, we are still heading north to our next “stay” in the northernmost big city of the country called Chiang Rai. From Chiang Rai, we are heading to the Golden Triangle area – the tripoint of the Thailand, Laos and Myanmar borders – but that is yet to come. Chiang Rai […] Read more…
If you follow me (well, US actually – me and Jimi) on other social media channels (especially Snapchat – litasworldjen), then you know we have a true love of hiking.

Recently (as in last week), I paid a visit to Florida. I lived in Florida for my High School (in Kissimmee) and College (in Tampa) years. And, yes, I even worked at Disney World when I was in High School – aka the BEST JOB EVER!! My Mom still lives in Kissimmee and I made a visit to […] Read more…
I remember still being a bit jet-lagged on day 2 of our Travels in Thailand. On this day, we were still exploring the city of Bangkok and getting used to the sights and sounds that would become expected and familiar in touring this fabulous country. Sites such as elephants roaming the roadways: And families squooshed […] Read more…
A couple of years ago, Jimi (aka Pops) and I took a trip Traveling to Thailand and Cambodia. I never really posted much about this trip. In fact, there are a lot of vacations in the last few years that I don’t seem to have posted much about. I was a lazy travel blogger you could say. […] Read more…
