Creating Our Website
It’s been so much fun curating products to include in our website. Trips down memory lane of what we were glad we had with us and product finds we wish we knew about but now have at the ready for our next adventure.
Why So Many Aromatherapy Products?
You may wonder why a website dedicated to travel offers so many aromatherapy products. Recently, I was traveling from Casablanca to Madrid to Miami. While in the air on our first leg, we received notification that our flight to Miami was cancelled – no information, no help offered, no good luck! After trying to get […]
We Can’t Do This Alone (Rather We Don’t Want To)

It was really fun pulling together mini items that make travel easier and convenient. All can fit in a purse or backpack – […]
Favorite Travel Experience
One of my favorite things to do when I travel internationally is to take a cooking class and learn about local food. When we took a class in Beijing, they took us to the market to see an amazing array of fresh food and fish and everything. It was very cool. Then we went back […]
Next!
2026 is nearly over (time flies really fast!). Ok,, it’s just September but before I know it… This year was lean for travel. Only one trip to the Bahamas. That’s just not right. My friends and I have started talking about our next big trip for 2027. Some initial thoughts are Japan or Eastern Europe […]
What’s the plastic for?
I love when people ask me this question. And there’s always a big “eeew” when I explain. Studies have shown the dirtiest thing in a hotel room is the TV remote control, and it’s very unlikely it’s ever cleaned. Think about it – people lying in bed, turning on the TV. Don’t think about it […]
